Since this recent newsletter contains a lot of information about me, my career, and great deals for you--I've decided to share it online as well.
HOLIDAY GREETINGS!
I haven’t
touched base with fans for some time. 2015 has been a very busy year for me
outside of writing. No apologies are being offered as I think I needed the break to
rejuvenate my creativity. Publishing and promoting six books in five years was
a daunting task!
I know that
those of you following my BackTracker series are eager to learn what happens
next to Katrina and Chad and Shrug and the rest of the gang. Book IV in that
series is currently at the editor’s. I am still looking for a great title for
it. After Christmas I will work on a cover design and then
have it formatted and uploaded. I hope to have Book IV of the BACTRACKER Series on the market by spring 2016
I will
likely be publishing two novels in 2016. The second, SHADOW RIDERS, has been
edited and proofed and is awaiting a cover and formatting. BackTracker fans
will be pleased to know that although SHADOW RIDERS is not a part of the
series, the BackTracker characters do make an appearance in this gritty adult
crime novel that is partially set in South Korea.
What's next?
What's next?
I drafted
the entire BackTracker series along with Shadow Riders years ago, so the
extensive work I put into getting these novels ready for publication doesn’t
totally satisfy my creative muses. I must always have some ‘new’ work on the
go.
Right now I
am working on a trilogy of SciFi novelettes, about a man implanted with the
wolf’s olfactory gene. Can you imagine the difference it would make to your
life to be able to smell as well as a wolf? I have a couple of potential
publishers in mind, once the books are ready for submission.
I like to
have a splash of traditional publishing (along with self-publishing) in my repertoire.
When traditionally published, the
publisher arranges and pays for the editing, cover design, formatting, etc.
That is an immense help with the upfront costs and time demands of publishing.
An experienced publisher also provides much-needed professional marketing skills. I would not have been able to publish six
books in five years without the help of my two publishers!
I do want to advise you all to watch for Christmas specials throughout December. Starting right now, Imajin Books is offering a 15% discount on all paperbacks through the CreateSpace store. Use discount code VN8SJ9RL for THE TRAZ School Edition and FATAL ERROR.
SALE! SALE! SALE!

INVITE ME TO YOUR SCHOOL!
I
have put my name in for the Canadian Authors Association’s Writers in Schools Program
(WISP), sponsored by the TD bank.
I invite all
schools in Northeastern Alberta to request an author visit from me. It’s win,
win, win as the program pays me for the visit and the schools and students get
to connect with local authors. http://www.canauthorsalberta.ca/writers-in-schools
All the best to you and yours this holiday season!
And don’t forget,
a review is the best gift to give an author.
