Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! Happy Spring!

There are so many chances for new starts, and I count Easter as one of them. Spiritually it means a lot to me, but also here in the northeast, there is more sunshine, longer days, and plants are starting to come alive. It all feels like a new start, especially with such favorable plans on the horizon for Relic!

So, eat a chocolate bunny ear, and take in all the smells and sounds of nature. Remember the impact on all your senses, store them away, and use them on your next writing day!

Relic News!

In an interview at the back of Cinder, Marissa Meyer said one of the most difficult things about writing is the publicity side. And she has a major publisher behind her.

As an indie author, I have to agree. She said that she has learned that following the publication of a book, the marketing takes a front seat and she has learned to write the next book during the lulls in between. Good advice.

Over the holiday break I have been working on making Relic more available. You can now purchase it as a Kindle e-book here. The paperback version will be carried in two local stores, Tile Pharmacy in Cheektowaga, NY, and Sinclair Pharmacy in Warsaw, NY. They may seem like odd venues for book sales, but both have a large gift-seeking clientele and Tile has a “locally-made” section.

The big news is that on July 20, I will have an author talk and book signing at the independently-owned Monkey See, Monkey Do book store in Clarence, NY. It looks to be a special event with cookies from the book and tea! Watch for more details. I can’t wait!
