Book Tour 2013

I’m excited to announce that I’m back on tour to promote my new book, “Passages to Epiphany” and I hope you’ll drop by to say hello if I show up at a bookstore near you. Better yet, if you have an event coming up and would like me to speak to your audience, I would be more than happy to bring a few books and provide some insights about my life as a writer, editor and coach. I began writing professionally in 1982 and it was only in 2011, with the publication of my first novel, “Shades of Teale,” that I began revealing the more creative side of my writing.

It’s been a wonderful exploration and I feel a great kinship with the many other enthusiastic writers who populate our world. Some of them are scribbling out a living as a freelancer or other paid writer but when I’m at a book signing I’m also often approached by people whose “closet writing” is a source of enjoyment for them. Although they may be employed in a totally unrelated field, it’s that delightful pursuit of fitting words together to create a story that fuels their heart.  I’ve coached a number of people whose dream it is to write a book and it’s incredibly fulfilling work. If you’re interested in how I might help turn your dream of writing a book—or how I might help you polish your manuscript to put it in publishable form—please get in touch. I offer an “Editing Appetizer” for $347 (plus HST) that includes a sample edit, a writing skills assessment, an hour-and-a-half of consultation time with me, and a few other goodies. If this sounds like something that you’d be interested in, I invite you to visit my business website for more information.

On the book tour front I have stops planned so far for London, Peterborough, Oakville, Milton, Stoney Creek and Mississauga. Other locations are under negotiation as I write and if you’d like to request that I stop by your community, please let me know. Book signings are one of my favourite activities as it’s a fun way to get to know what readers are interested in and to share stories about the crazy world we live.

If you’d like to buy “Passages to Epiphany” online immediately I can direct you to Amazon.ca. The digital version will be coming out in a month or two but I’d love some feedback in the meantime on what you thought about the book so we can share them with other potential readers.
