I visited Mr. Merredew's Writer's Craft class today to talk about (you guessed it) writing. Each student in the class is writing a novella so I shared with them some of what I've learned over the last few years about writing and publishing. Had a good time and look forward to hearing about their finished works.

Doesn't my shiny new Reader Views Reviewers Choice Award look nice? I was given Honourable Mention in the Teen (age 12 - 16) category for Eon's Door. Okay, it's not first place but I'll take it. To celebrate and show my appreciation, I thought I'd have a sale! Starting later today, and for a limited time only, you will be able to purchase the Kindle edition of Eon's Door for a measly 99 cents! That's a lot of fantasy and adventure for less than a buck. Buy the book and tell your friends! 
 
 
I just found out that Eon's Door has won the 2011 Reader Views Reviewers Choice Award! The award is in the teen (age 12 - 16) category and I'll find out on March 8th if it will be for first, second, or third place. This was a pleasant surprise and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the judges will place me on top. Either way, it's an honor and I wish the other two authors the best of luck.
