I know, the first book came out ages ago, but I've decided now is the time to start talking about the series.
Why, you ask? Because the 2nd book is coming out in a few months, so, it's officially a series now! (Yay!)
This is where I'll be talking about all things Marie Jenner. Marie is a feisty little amateur sleuth who, unfortunately, has the ability to see and interact with ghosts. She doesn't appreciate this "gift" much, because it causes her all sorts of troubles! (Which, fortunately for us, is a lot of fun!)
The first book, Seeing the Light, was published in 2014 by Tyche Books, with much fan fare and really great launches at Audreys Books in Edmonton and Owl's Nest Books in Calgary. (Much much love to these two terrific book stores!)
Then came the award season--and Seeing the Light was shortlisted for the Boney Blithe Award! Didn't win, but had a great time at the event in Toronto, and met most of the other wonderful writers who were also shortlisted (including Cathy Ace, who won.)
I'm waiting for edits on the second book in the series. I'm also writing the third book, and tomorrow will be taking a quick trip to Fort McMurray, to reacquaint myself with Marie Jenner's home town. (I'll also be testing my brand new camera, so expect photos of my experiences, if I can make the thing work!)
That's what I'm doing in the short term. Long term? I'll be at When Words Collide (the multi genre con in Calgary) and the Edmonton Comic Book Expo. (Might even be doing a panel or two, so if you want to hear me speak, feel free to drop by!) And whatever else I can dig up. (There will be more when I get closer to the launch for the second book!) So, watch for updates.
