Cover Reveal: A Thousand Sunsets

Okay, remember last year when I was being all vague about a new book? Well, I'll stop that right now. A Thousand Sunsets will be published by Melange Books, and the talented Stephanie Bibb has created a beautiful cover for it that I'm extremely excited to show you!

Struggling to be a dad and a son, Alexander didn’t know he was lost. Living her dream, Sarah didn’t know she needed to be found. Enter cupid in the form of a dying man, who hasn’t had much contact with his children and grandchildren in the years after his wife’s death. In the meantime, however, a new family has formed around him. Patrick McCullough’s staring contest with death and wish to unite the family of his blood and the one of his heart kindles love meant to last, causes tempers to flare, and creates second chances that are given, taken, and thrown away. In the middle of the chaos, a young boy struggles to stay afloat.

At this time, the goal is to release it in July. I'll pester you all with the exact date once I have it. 

Kirkeklokken i natten

 

"Kirkeklokken i natten" was the first novel I ever wrote. The fact that it's now in print is solely because I wanted a copy on my shelf. It's a suspence novel for children aged 8 to 12 and is about Gustav. He lives in a small town where strange things start to happen. No one seems interested in finding out why, so it's the boy against the world.

A big thank you to Laura and Christina for putting up with me and my words while I was creating Gustav's world.

It's available here, though in Danish only.

"Kirkeklokken i natten" var den første roman jeg skrev. Det at den nu findes i bogform skyldes udelukkende egen egoisme fordi jeg ville have et eksemplar stående på hylden. Det er en krimi for børn i aldergruppen 8 til 12 og handler om Gustav. Han bor i en lille by, hvor der begynder at ske mærkelige ting. Ingen andre virker interesserede i at finde ud af, hvad der foregår, så det er drengen mod resten af verden.

En stor tak til Laura og Christina for at holde mig og mine ord ud da jeg skabte Gustavs verden.

Den kan købes her.

What Am I Up To?

I haven't been very good at updating my blog. Apologies. I have a good excuse, though. I've been busy writing! So I've been a good writer and not a very good blogger. I think I can live with that. However, I will try to do better in the blog department in the future.

I finished a novel. I mentioned it last year. It's called A Thousand Sunsets and was written last November for NaNoWriMo. This year I have been editing it, cleaning it up, polishing it, vacuuming it, dusting it - basically doing everything possible to make it shine. I had help. My amazing friend, Heather, offered me the use of her grammar and picking-a-not-so-good-story-apart-and-suggesting-how-to-put-it-back-together-again-in-a-much-better-way skills. Wouldn't you love to have skills like that? Now the novel has been sent off into the big, big world, and only time will tell how it does. A writer needs to have a lot of patience.

The novel isn't the only thing I've been working on. Short stories, reasearch, articles...I write it all. It's been quite the month for submissions, but instead of sitting back and waiting for the barrage of rejection letters and emails, I'm diving head first into my next projects. It can make a girl almost depressed that she will never, ever have time to write the million stories she wants to accomplish, so at least I write as many as I can. And I will.

Until next time - keep writing!
