What a fantastic and Merry Christmas it is going to be! There is so much to be excited about and thankful for this season.
The adventuresome and spunky novel, A Hero’s Curse, received many glowing reviews during it’s debut year. Thank you, you wonderful readers.
Highlights of this inaugural year are really too many to list here. A Hero’s Curse was published at Christmas, a year ago. Since then it has been to book launches and book fairs, in contests and at conventions. But best of all, it’s been in the hands of readers.
It made it to the top of the heap on Amazon’s Kindle program a couple of times (pulling in a #1 ranking in Sword & Sorcery and #1 in Girls & Women), and was subsequently selected by Audible and Amazon as a audiobook stipend recipient: Amazon and Audible paid to produce the audiobook. We found an incredibly talented narrator in Elizabeth Phillips, and the audiobook released on July 4th.
What a rolicking good time we’ve had. But the best is yet to come.
Here in the writer’s room, I am working hard on finishing the sequel to that well loved story about a blind girl, and her sarcastic cat, Tig…more news and announcements will come soon, I’m sure.
