NEW WORK BEGINS

On Friday, I started writing my next Women's Fiction Novel.  Once I have more done on it, I will provide information on the title and story line. I also have the beginnings of two more Children's Books in the works.

I have posted an Ad on Facebook in hopes of getting a larger following for the blog.  If you show up here, please feel free to put in your e-mail address in the box that is in the left column that says, "Follow by Email". When you do that, whenever I post something , you will receive a copy in your e-mail Inbox.  This way you will always be up to date on my books and progress on upcoming books.

My new Children's Book, "Bella's Clocks" is starting to get out there for purchase on Amazon.  I have also put up the Kindle Version so you can have a sample sent to you before purchasing to see a bit of what it is about.

I will be back at the end of February to update everyone on my progress.  Wintertime here in Canada allows me a lot of time to write because it snows most days. When Spring, Summer and Fall show up it calls me to go out for long walks, therefore, causing me to bring my pad and pen with me.

NEW CHILDREN'S BOOK LAUNCH!!

February 1, 2018

 

 Available now on Amazon.com in paperback. The Kindle Version should be available everywhere by February 3, 2018. The paperback version will be available on Amazon sites in other countries within 6 to 8 weeks. Link will be added shortly.

Bella’s Clocks is a story about a young girl, her Grandmother and two clocks.  Bella formed a special bond with Grandma Elsie and the two unique clocks from her Grandmother’s youth.  In the story, Grandma Elsie uses the Paddington Station Lantern Clock, she got from her father, to teach Bella how to tell time.  At bedtime, Grandma Elsie uses the Queen Street Station Table Clock, her mother gave her at age five, with a music box in it.

ON TRACK

Just a quick update on my new children's book.  I am on track to get it finished to be published on February 1, 2018.  I don't anticipate any other issues at this time.

As I have been putting all my time in edits for this book, my progress on the next novel is stalled. I will began full time writing on it after my February 1st deadline has been achieved.

I don't have the theme for the new novel worked out yet, but I do have a photo for the cover that inspires where the story will go.

I will be back on February 1st so I can add the final cover for the children's book, let you know if the title was changed. and to add the link so you can purchase the book.

LINK UPDATES

Hi Everyone. I am here to let you know that I have updated all the covers and links for my current  books.  All are now available both in paperback and kindle and when you click on the book cover it will take you directly to Amazon.com where you can purchase either one.

If you go to Amazon without the link you will see for the three individual Sara books that it shows a cover saying the paperbacks are not available. If you go to the one with the new cover they are all  available both in paperback and kindle.

I had the paperbacks set up through a different printer who only gave my purchasers access in the US and Japanese markets so I had to remove them from this printer. Although they are no longer being printed the picture remains on Amazon. I have them now published with my usual printer, who is CreateSpace ,for everyone Worldwide to be able to purchase them. In the re-published cover you will see a change in subtitle but the main titles remain the same.

I am working on 'Bella's Clocks' and hope to have it ready to be published on February 1, 2018 so look for an update on that.

I will be back in two weeks with more on the book, and in the meantime go to the previous update and sign up for my Goodreads Giveaway for 'Cedric and Melissa', which runs until January 31, 2018.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Well I am a day late. I thought it better to wait and start 2018 out right.  My Giveaway on Goodreads ended on December 26th, and I have mailed off the winners books. There will be another one starting on January 5, 2018 for my Children's Book 'Cedric and Melissa' and will run until January 31, 2018.

I have been working on 'Bella's Clocks' to clear up some of the changes, and starting tomorrow I will be back on track to get it published by the end of the month.  I have also been working on revising my first three books and will be re-publishing then in paperback shortly. Currently they are only on Amazon.com and Amazon in Japan. I want them to be available in all countries and stores so watch for that date.

I will be starting to work on a 2nd novel and will update everyone about that in the near future.  I hope you all had a safe holiday season and are looking forward to bigger and better things for yourselves in 2018.

UPDATE ON NEW BOOK

I hope everyone is enjoying getting ready for the holiday season.  I wish you all a Happy Holiday.🎄

As I have been making several changes to the new children's book over the past few weeks, I am going to delay the release until January 2018. It will be my start to a new year of writing both children's books and the beginning of a second fiction novel. More details to come in January.

Below is a revised copy of the front cover for Bella's Clocks. You will notice the only change for now is the girl who represents Bella.

I will be taking time off over the next few weeks to be with friends and family. I will return on December 31, 2017 with updates on all of my previous, current and future projects.
