Just completed the book trailer for One Frosty Christmas. It was lots of work, but well worth it, and I had tonnes of fun doing it.

Enjoy!  One Frosty Christmas – Book Trailer

Thanks to the winter wonderland that we’ve experienced on Vancouver Island in the past week or two, I was able to go out and have some fun in the snow with a couple of ponies and a trio of young musketeers at Flying Changes Riding School in Coombs, British Columbia. The result is this new cover for One Frosty Christmas and some precious moments in the snow with Jimmy, my equine model. Jimmy was quite good at posing for photos. You’ll have a chance to see more once I have completed the book trailer.

I had hoped to have Valentino, the last book in the Holiday Series, ready for this Valentine’s day, but completing one new script and revising a couple of older ones had to come first as the scripts are already optioned.

It’s so exciting to be back writing again, to create new characters, and new adventures.

I found this picture on a photo listing site, Shutterstock, and think that I will purchase it for the cover. I do not own the rights so please respect the copyright; however, it gives you a good idea about what Valentino will be about.

This is a great article from the Master of Horror, Stephen King. Whether you are dreaming of writing a book, in the middle of writing one, or have several novels completed, Mr King has something to offer everyone: http://www.inc.com/glenn-leibowitz/8-simple-writing-strategies-that-helped-stephen-king-sell-350-million-books.html

I am so looking forward to this year. Lots of great things happening. Can’t say much as yet, but I am very optimistic that there are some big changes coming for me. Guess everyone will just have to sit on the edge of their seat.

2016 saw The Holiday Series Trilogy and One Frosty Christmas back in the top 100 on Amazon in their categories which made me pretty happy.

I hope to release Valentino later this year.

I am also changing lanes a bit and working on some different genres including a teen drama with a psychic twist as well as a black comedy for all us middle aged horse women. I know, I am such a tease.

So here’s to 2017. May yours be lively and exciting.

This is an interesting article from Inktip, one of the most popular script listing services, but whether you are writing fiction or a script, the writing of interesting supporting characters is paramount to a successful story.

Linda McCloud and Johnny Joe are two of my favorites in The Holiday Series. Linda is so full of boundless energy that she is infectious and turned from a supporting character into a main character in A Filly Called Easter. Johnny Joe’s search for identity is actually the driving force behind the plot in The Great Pumpkin Ride. Both of these characters developed more and more during the writing of One Frosty Christmas and resonated with lots of my readers.
