Greetings!
Oh, the summer night Has a smile of light And she sits on a sapphire throne. ~Barry Cornwall
I hope your summer begins in beauty!
I celebrate the arrival of summer "gloriously." I just received notice that the opening scene of GLORY was given honorable mention in the "Strong Scenes Contest." I consider this a worthy accomplishment, especially since it was the single most difficult scene I have ever written. I rewrote it countless times and was still revising it even as it went to press. If you haven't yet read it, here is a link: Glory's Opening Scene
I am also happy to announce that both GLORY and RED HOT PROPERTY are scheduled to be released this summer as eBooks. They will be available in multiple formats, and I will keep you informed of their availability when I receive more detailed information.
And for my readers in the United Kingdom, GLORY is already available at Amazon.UK. Here is the link: Glory - Amazon.UK
Due to reader demand, I am beginning work on a new, updated edition of my 20 year old horror classic WITCH HUNT.
(I don't sleep much these days...)
The other big news is that this week we launched an exciting new contest that is creating quite the buzz! Please scroll down to learn more about both contests I'm now holding.
Enjoy your summer and spend it doing lots of reading! Devin |

Show Dog Sings the Blues Contest
 Australian shepherd Talisman from my comic RED HOT series of novels is going to have her very own adventure in a children's book, and I'm holding a contest for the best title. Talisman is a prissy, pampered show dog who accidentally gets switched with a hardcore cowdog for the day and has to work on a ranch. She must learn to cowdog up!
(Show Dog Sings the Blues is an entry by Karen Wingert Youmans and is on the "short list" for the final book title. We like it so much we chose it for the contest name!) |
