Are you ready for some Revenge?

Do you know how long I’ve waited to write those words? Years!!

Yes, years (as my patient fans already know) and after waiting all so very, very long; through the many edits, revisions, shredding and tearing; through the queries, synopsises, critiques and fulls; and the much anticipated big-house no’s; through the wavering and wondering, questioning and unsure-ity; yes, through all of this and much more it’s time to give a date--a date in which my next full length fiction novel will hopefully be available.

Calypso’s Revenge: A Traitor’s Heart
Projected pub. date: January 2009

Yep. That looks like the month the paperback will be out. The ebook version of course will probably run a bit sooner, but that’s the goal. Roughly six months from now if everything holds together.

So, are you ready? Ready to get your Revenge? If so, let me ask: do you want to read it sooner? Well, there’s some options if you do:

First, if you’re a reviewer or author who’d be interested in doing a review or providing a pre-pub blurb it looks like the ARCs might be available by Sept. ’08 so be sure to give me a holler and I’ll get your name on the list.

But don’t despair if you’re a new visitor or a regular reader of mine because hopefully in that same time frame (September-ish) the first chapters will be made available on my site for your reading pleasure.

So that’s about it for that work and, oh yeah, by the way if that isn’t enough to wet your chops for now, just wait until you see the cover!!!!

P.S.: And before you go, if you’re not yet signed up for my mailings (so you can stay informed about this and other upcoming works), you can do so by using the form on this page or on the front page of my website.

I’m in New York…

…the library that is! While perusing for new books to read so that I can keep up with the ever-changing industry, I happened to come across this bit of news: I’m now catalogued and on the shelf (somewhere) in the New York Public Library. Yes, I know it’s a silly thing, but a part of me is just so excited.

And yes, I know this is not my first library stocking for I’m already on the shelves at the Arapahoe Community College Library in Littleton Colorado --which also just made my day :) --but I still get such a kick out of it for even though the book has been out for a couple years, it remains to hold it's value as a research aid--enough so that libraries are again adding it to their shelves!

So what this means to you as readers is that if you’re in the NYPL system or ACCL network, just remember if you need to you can now check out a copy of “The ABC’s of POD” at your local library (but if you’re not and there’s not a copy at your local library, make sure to ask your librarian why there isn't!).
