Yep! It’s complete!

Peter Pan Wears Steel Toes will be released Monday, October 13th on Thanksgiving Day.

I am just waiting for approval from Amazon which takes about 24 – 48 hours and both the e-book and print book should be ready to go.

Here’s a quote from my editor, Dianne Andrews: “Laura has truly captured the magic and terror of timber cruising in the wilderness! A must read for all Nature Lovers! Most people will never experience landing on a float plane on a remote lake or swamp, but the can experience it in Laura’s latest book!”

It will be a couple of weeks before I have any print books in stock myself. Price for print book is $15.95 and e-book will be priced at $3.99. I will post a couple of chapters up shortly.

Wow. What a great feeling. I will be done my final editing this weekend and then the new novel will be off to my editor. Now I just have to wait for my CIP data to come and do the final proofing and formatting. Okay, it might be a couple of weeks yet. lol

I have had some requests to put together another publishing course. Will let everyone know what dates and cities are available.

Take a boo…if you live in the Nanaimo, Oceanside, or Courtenay areas, I am available for photo shoots for real estate features, band and musician promo shots, and equine sales shots/brochures. Just visit my photography page on this blog site or on Facebook direct at: https://www.facebook.com/laurahessephotography?ref=profile   (Sorry if some of you are getting this twice. LH)

I am pleased to say that work is coming along on my new non-fiction novel. I have just completed Chapter Seven. The first six chapters are with an editor now and the cover is ready. I hope to complete the last three chapters this week.

What a great time I am having re-living all the funny and scary moments that happened to me while working for the Ministry of Natural Resources as a timber cruiser. It sure has brought back memories and reminded me of all the adventures I had. It’s brought about a couple of nightmares from close calls as well.

Can’t wait to see this book launched. Hopefully, it will be ready for mid-October.

Just wanted to announce the re-optioning of One Frosty Christmas to Select Services Films and the new optioning of Independence to Magic Elevator Productions. Thank you for your support.

Work is on schedule on the writing of my latest non-fiction novel, Peter Pan Wears Steal Toes. The art work and illustrations for the front cover is being done by Boris Rasin in New York. He has done a great job on taking my concept and idea for the cover and turning it into reality. I will be releasing the book cover shortly.

In the meantime, I am hard at work at writing the novel. I hope to start pre-sales by October 1, 2014. I’ll keep you posted.
