A New Book Trailer!


Howdie from beautiful Oregon!

Just kidding. But since I've been immersed in rewriting and editing now for several months, it almost feels like I'm there.
Not really. Notice I said almost
It totally feels like I'm in Wisconsin.

I wish this was my view!

Oregon Coast 



Believe it or not, I'm nearly ready to publish my 6th novel...which is actually the first book I ever wrote! And to answer the question I know you're dying to ask:
Yes! I really DID have it under my bed all these years! 

If you've ever seen my 
Author Central Profile  <---- clicky thing
on Amazon, you'll get it.

Actually, I had a copy of said novel on my computer too...saved and uploaded from my last computer to my current one. If you recall, I wrote this book WAY back when I was still homeschooling our youngest son...
who is now twenty-eight. Which means I must have written it circa 1999.
  
So, it's been  
A.  L.O.N.G.  T.I.M.E.  C.O.M.I.N.G.

Come on, you remember the story...
I pulled the book out of it's dusty domain for the much needed rewrite and edits -way back in 2007. But then I had that awesome dream and I HAD to start writing the Ravenswynd Series: T.R.I.H.
If you want to know what that acronym is, you'll have to ask!  

And just like in the previous rambling paragraph, I got side-tracked. But last winter/spring I told myself: Rewrite the dang book already. Get it published before the dang year is over already. Clean the crap out from under your bed already.
I actually listened to myself! 

It. Is. Done.

I'm waiting to hear from two of my beta-readers yet. (You know who you are) 
Once I get the go-ahead, I'll be uploading the document. In the meantime I thought you might like a bit of a teaser.


As in a book trailer.


So here it is.
  




What do you think?

If you have trouble viewing the video,
let me know and I'll send you the direct link to You-tube. 
Seriously.  
I WANT you to SEE the video.  I stayed up till 4 a.m. last night re-doing it over and over and over.
And then again today. 
Seriously. 
I deserve would greatly appreciate some dang feedback!
Please.



Thanks!

Have a great week!









An Awesome Dream


Some of you may know the story about how Ravenswynd Legends was born, but I thought I'd share it with those of you who don't.

It all started with a dream...



I had a vivid dream about being bit by a vampire.  Never before had I ever even dreamed about vampires.  (parts of this dream ended up in chapter 13 and 14...)


In the dream there was a fight scene, not as vivid as being bitten, but it also ended up in the book in chapter 15.


                                                                                     



After I had written quite a few chapters, it occurred to me that I had to add a scene that actually happened to me one day at a Mall.  Of course I changed it to fit the characters, but the man was real. His hair was really long, he had a long trench coat on, and I never did see his face.  You can read that scene in my Excerpt page if you like.






And the rest is history...
If you'd like to read the paperback edition, here's the link to my book
Or your choice of paperback or Kindle here: Amazon
On Amazon you can "look inside" to read some sample chapters if you like.  Have fun!
If you do read the book, please be sure to leave a review for me! 



Have a great week!


Ravenswynd Legends

Ravenswynd Legends is available!




I am very happy with the way the paperback turned out, but a bit confused with the way it uploaded on Amazon's KDP site.  If you order a Kindle version, you'll see what I mean.
My table of contents is not right...and there is NO way to fix it.  It looks fantastic on my word document and on the online CreateSpace document checker, and the paperback proof is perfect.
But when you open the Kindle version, there are lines dividing the chapters, but only about 3/4 of the way down, and then the lines end and the numbers stop lining up...ACK.

I thought about trying to fix this issue, but since I don't even have any lines showing on my document, how the heck would I?

If anyone out there knows a fix for this, please let me now...I'm already getting book two ready for publication!  (My artist is working on the cover) yay!

If you're interested...you can order the paperback edition Here:
Ravenswynd Legends on CreateSpace


Or Paperback OR Kindle edition) Here: Ravenswyn Legends on Amazon

Exciting times!

Thanks for all your support and encouragement.
