Hi Everyone,
I'm sorry for not being here for so long but I had a medical issue that has lasted for a long time. I am still writing and hope to get all of my books that are started out this year.
I have two children's books and an adult one in the works.
Covers of the books I'm working on:
I will do my best to keep you all up to date on the progress and when each one will be available for sale and where.
Hi everyone. Still having issues writing but there is good news. I will be having surgery on my right wrist for carpel tunnel this coming Monday, June 9th. There will be a few weeks of recovery and then hopefully I will be able to get back to my writing.
I almost finished Chapter 9 in Lost In A Labyrinth and have been able to do just a few pictures in my kids books. Will come back here once I'm able to type again.
Hi all. I have been busy trying to get surgery set up for my right hand with carpel tunnel. It has been very active and slows me down from my work. The condition causes several fingers to go numb and making it difficult to type.
Good news is I have a surgery date in June so then will be able to work a lot more on my books.
Will try to keep you updated on my progress so far though. I have gotten to chapter 4 in my adult book but working on the illustrations for the kids books is too difficult right now.
Everyone have a great Easter Weekend 🐹
Hi everyone. I know it has been several weeks since I posted but I'm here now. I took a rest and am now back to work on three different books. Two children's books and one for the adults. The children's books contain one story about a cat named Dizzy and the other is one I have been working on for a long time about Rian's Many Hats. I will finish both of these before the end of the year just in time for the Christmas season.
Will try to finish Rian's Many Hats first!
The adult one is in transition. First it had one title and now it has a new title called "Lost In a Labyrinth" subject to changes later of if required. I have gotten the first chapter done and am working on the second one.
Hi everyone. I am a couple days late but have been a bit busy over the weekend. "Saphira" has been published both in e-book everywhere and paperback only on Amazon. I have been looking at a few story lines to try working on but so far nothing definite.
For a children's book there is this one:
Well that's all for now. When I make some decisions I'll let you know what they are and a bit about the story lines. Until then go check out all my books.
Hi everyone. Great news today. I finished several edits on my book and now Saphira's e-book is available everywhere for Pre-Order. The paperback on Amazon only will be published in time to be available on January 15, 2025.
It was a pretty hard road to getting this one done but I did it. I am going to take a short break and then will start to work on two children's books to be completed and published some time in 2025. More to follow in future writings.
I have also put the book up for Pre-Order with D2D and has been sent to several e-book sellers like Apple Books, Barnes & Noble and several others around the world so check out your favorite place and see if it's there.
Will be back here on January 25th for an up date and any news about how Saphira sales are doing.
Hi All. I've started the editing of my book. This will be my work for the next three weeks as my end file has to be uploaded to Amazon on January 11, 2025 for the Pre-Order Kindle Book. It has been a long road and these next few weeks will be intense but that will make the time pass for the remainder of 2024 and into 2025.
I'll return with an update on January 4-2025 with hope that all editing will be finished, and I will just be into the making sure all is good phase for the final week. That will give me time to prepare the paperback version, get it uploaded so the two can become live at the same time.
An e-book version will also be uploaded to Draft2Digital so that all the other vendors like Apple, Barnes & Noble, etc. will have e-copies to buy for those who prefer not to use Amazon for their purchases.
HAPPY HOLIDAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE!
Hello readers. I put the date in my calendar as a reminder to write here and it worked. I have just started Chapter 37 in my book 'Saphira' and will be at the end by mid-week. Then I will start some of the editing on a few chapters where I have already found errors and highlighted those sections.
Next update will be December 21 just before the holidays. I'm hoping to have all my chapters done and be far into the editing part.
If I keep up at this pace being completed for my release date of January 15, 2025 will be right on track. Below is a picture of my main character Madison Curry who is a genetic scientist.
I've started working on the new children's book but will not be doing a lot until my novel mentioned above is completed and uploaded to Amazon and other book sellers using D2D.
Meet Dizzy one of the characters in my children's book.
Well off to write. Remember, I'll be back on December 21st to update you before I take a short break for the holidays!
Hi everyone. Sorry for not posting but I have been really busy writing. I have put me new upcoming book "Saphira" on Amazon for pre-order. Publish date is January 15-2025.
I am up to the middle of Chapter 32 so only a few more to go before I start doing editing. I will put a reminder in my calendar to post on here at least every two weeks and see if that works better.
I have decided to leave my children's book that is started and will begin working on a new one. I seem to have been unable to get my brain back into the started one. Maybe at another time it will work.
New title for now will be: DIZZY
It is about a crazy cat and a little girl in a wheelchair. Once I have a cover created I will put it on here for you to see, but remember it may not be the final one as we writers are always making changes.
Dizzy is a black and grey stripped one year old kitten with a large white circle in the middle of his forehead between his eyes.
Hopefully, I will see you back here on December 7th.
Hi Everyone. I have been working hard at finishing my book and am now at Chapter 27. I have set my book cover size to 250 pages and am now just under 200 so almost there before the need for major editing.
I have been working with my writing group regarding my cover and the blurb with several suggestions to making it sound better. I still haven't gone back to my children's book and believe that I will leave that until after this book has been published.
So you can see what the current cover looks like check it out below:
Hi all. Happy September. I almost got here on time but was busy with the holiday. The writing is going good and have started Chapter 25. The story is coming together and I am pleased about that.
I've been working on the cover in between writing so everything will be ready at the same time to publish. I haven't done much on my children's book yet because I'm stuck for now but will get back to it once Saphira is finished and up on Amazon and other formats.
Well time to get back to work. Will do my best to be back with an update, and hopefully a book finished and going into edits.
Have a safe and happy Labor Day!
Okay, I know my telling you I'd be here more. Sorry but I was busy having cataract surgery on both eyes then recovery time so seeing into a computer wasn't so easy. All is good now and healed. I just saw my eye doctor and only need reading glasses for up close like computer use. I have ordered several and they will be here tomorrow.
Now as to my book. Well I have slowly been working on it during this time in short periods now having started Chapter 23. I will try my best to be here with more updates. Yes, I will put in my calendar to write here more.
I had put on D2D to publish my book in October so we will see how it goes over the next several weeks.
Summer is ending and for many school will be starting or already has begun. I am looking at what courses are scheduled for this fall/winter so I can have something to do after publishing Saphira.
I will be back on August 31st for more updates. Below is Madison's blue creation that wasn't great for her experiments, so she thought.
June 19-2024
I know it has been a long time since showing up here. The past year has been eventful and writing had to be put aside for a while. I have now started working on a new book and will try to be here with updates at least twice each month.
CURRENT BOOK WORKING ON:
Glad to be back to what I love doing. See you in July. Everyone stay safe if you are in a high heat area.
Hi Everyone. Sorry for the long delay in getting back to you but I had to deal with a bout of Covid. All is good now and I will get back to my writing.
I will work on my Children's Book about Hats and I have started a new novel that is just starting to get developed so nothing to tell you about that one yet.
I'm so happy that spring has found it's way to Canada and that the temperatures will start to go up and the snow will leave.
Until next time, hopefully, at the end of March with a better update on my work. Check out my current book everywhere on e-book and Amazon for the paperback.
I hope everyone is starting out 2023 on a good note. I now have a firm release date for 'Hard To Cross (The Coleman O'Sullivan Story)'. You can pre-order the e-book starting today at all distributors like Kindle, Kobo or Apple Books, etc. The e-book will be released on Monday, January 30, 2023.
The paperback will be released only on Amazon worldwide also on Monday, January 30, 2023.
My next project will be going back to work on my Children's Book about 'Rian's Many Hats'. I hope to have that ready for release just before summer break so the kids will have something to read during their time off.
COMING THIS SUMMER!
During that time of getting the Children's Book done, I will start work on a new project or two and will let you know more about what they are next time.
I know that I haven't been here since October but there is a good reason for that. I have been working hard on my 3rd edit of 'Hard To Cross' and soon it will be available for you to read it. I just wanted to touch base with everyone to wish you Happy Holidays to everyone.
I know all the snow is an issue for some but just remember that soon you will again see the cherry blossoms on the trees.
I will be back in 2023 to give you the exact date for the release of the book and where I will be going next.
HAPPY 2023 TO EVERYONE!⏳
Today I will finish the first draft of Hard To Cross (The Coleman O'Sullivan Story). As editing is a very involved process you will probably not hear from me for a while. I have a tentative date for release of November 16, 2022 but it will be subject to change depending on the length of the editing process.
Will see you again on November 1, 2022 to update you on my progress and if the release date will stay the same. At that time, if all goes good, I will be able to set up a pre-order for the e-book version everywhere.
Have a great Trick or Treat time with the kids.
Just a quick update to let you know that I am making progress but many life events have slowed me down. Now that all of that is taken care of I can put all my focus back on writing. I only have a couple ore chapters to have my first draft completed and ready for editing.
Another month has past and, yes, I have been writing but just not as much as I wanted to. I only have a few chapters to write for my book before the first edit starts. That, hopefully, will be soon. I am looking at a mid-October release date, but how extensive the edits may be could delay that timing.
Now that most of the extreme heat has past and it has gotten more fall like weather, it's easier to concentrate on my job. I haven't done anything more on my children's book but will go back to that once the editing starts on the novel.
THIS IS WHERE COLMAN LIVES
Not everyone lives alone on an island, but Coleman has for over five years. Would this be a life you would choose? Maybe there is a good reason Coleman chose this lifestyle. Once the book is out everyone will be able to find out.
Well, best get back to work. I will return in two weeks to let you know if the deal is done and the editing has begun.
Enjoy your time safely over the Labor Day weekend!
Hello readers. I did some writing since our last posting and have finished to Chapter 24 and start of Chapter 25. I am now looking at a possible release date in early September for "Hard To Cross" and will update after editing is complete.
