Alberta Book Publishing Award finalist, and working hard on the next book in the series

I was thrilled to learn that Seeing the Light had been shortlisted for an Alberta Book Publishing Award. This means another event to attend, this time in Edmonton, in September.

Since Tyche Books swept the Speculative Fiction Book Award section, I hope that we'll all be attending the gala, being held this year at Fort Edmonton Park. This is going to be so much fun!

In other news:

The cover art for Drowning in Amber (book two) is almost ready! Love love love it, and can hardly wait to show every one!

Book three is trundling along, and should be to the publisher in August. (Hopefully, it will be finished in time for When Words Collide, the Calgary multi genre literary con, but if it isn't, it will be close! )

I'm doing a couple of presentations at WWC (Writing a Series with Mahrie G. Reid, Kay Stewart, Gary Ryan, Sam Wiebe, and SG Wong) and Giving a Great Reading (with Jayne Barnard). Should be fun!

Then, I'm taking a short breather before all the madness that is prelaunching Drowning in Amber starts. (So far it looks like it will be a staycation, but that's all right with me!)

After all, I've got a wonderful deck, and two delightful dogs to keep me company! What could be better?
