It’s been a long time since the last posting, but new directions have been developing!

The big news is that Luminescence will publish in softcovers. This is a huge saving in publishing costs and freight, and a saving in the retail cost for you.

I suppose part of the inspiration for softcovers was also a discovery when I had to clean out my father’s house, that hardcover books were not accepted for recycling. I think you have to get the covers off somehow, but that is a lot of struggling if you have 40 or 50 books to deal with, and then what do you do with the covers? So, hmmm, what are we doing?

The savings on printing softcover will allow me to finish the cycle of three books I envisaged about the Star Children much more quickly. I am very inspired about that. Gung ho in fact! I can hardly wait, as I already have my outline and research (yes, research!) done for the third book.

More big news coming shortly!

Here are some pictures from the reading of Little Star Lost at the Nakusp Public Library. The craft made it very  special!

On Thursday, July 25, the author will read from Little Star Lost at the Nakusp Library. A wonderful nature craft for children will follow, along with book sales and signing.

I’m looking forward to seeing you there for a happy time!

Well, since the book launch it’s been pretty quiet in the posting department, but very busy in the mail-out department and busy dealing with stores and just personal sales. Readings are being set up in libraries, and I hope I can do a reading near you! Let me know if you have a library in mind.

The first one will be in the Nakusp Public Library on July 25. Along with the reading there is a craft for children and also books available for sale and signing. Watch for more information on my next posting.

Please note that I am away from June 18 to July 7, so book orders from this website will be a little delayed going out after this coming weekend.
Thank you for your orders.

From a passer-by: I just loved it. At first I thought, “Oh, it’s too long, I don’t want to read it”. And then I read a little bit and got totally engaged. I couldn’t stop reading. I loved the message. It is so important.

From a grandfather: I loved it. I am buying it for my grandson.

By the end of today you will be able to find the book in many selected stores. Check out Banyen Books in Vancouver, Bookland in Vernon, and Spiritwood in Nakusp. By this afternoon, it will also be in Otter Books, Gaia Rising, and Through the Looking Glass in Nelson, Gaia Tree and Spinning Fables in Winlaw, and Raven’s Nest in New Denver. You can have a look at it, you can buy it out of hand – enjoy and be uplifted!

Thank you to the many people who came out for the book launch party! And thank you for your very enthusiastic response. I’m sorry that no one thought to take any pictures, but never mind, we had a fabulous afternoon!
