I've nearly finished extending the story from 37,000 words to 80,000 words. Willow Moon said they would consider publishing it in paperback if I could make it long enough, so now you'll get two romances in two countries with one story and one faith to bind them, all for the price of one!

I'm just waiting (eagerly) to sign the contract--Second Wind just accepted my short story Ark into their renewal anthology, Change is in the Wind, due to be released in April 2012! It looks like 2012 might be a good year, with Divide by Zero due for release in July as well! Now, if only I could find an agent and get those children's stories settled with a publisher...
With thanks to all those wonderful friends who've offered their support, their help, their advice, and even their blogs as Flower Child begins my first ever blog-tour... Here's a list of all the places I'll be visiting. I've put a nice sparkly banner at the top of the page too, so readers can get back to this list anytime with just one click. I'll update, fix errors, and add addresses as things change, but, so far, I think it's okay. And again, thank you all! These are all great blogs to visit anyday--why not check them out now? I'll post links and reminders all through October so you can visit them again and meet me there. Flower Child: just been released by Gypsy Shadow Publishing: Find it on Amazon! Find it on Smashwords!

Posted with a HUGE thankyou to all the wonderful authors and bloggers who've agreed to be part of this. I'm totally overwhelmed by your kindness and your support. Thank you!!! Flower Child has just been released by Gypsy Shadow Publishing. 54 pages, pdf ebook. Look out for other versions if you want to read it on ereaders etc, but the Gypsy Shadow home-site produces the best pdfs. Go to http://gypsyshadow.com/SheilaDeeth.html#Flower and see what you think. (Hey, there's even a buy button!) Gypsy Shadow Publishing will soon be releasing my next ebook, Flower Child, on the unsuspecting world. I love the cover! Flower Child: the story of a grieving mother and her unborn daughter. When Megan miscarries her first pregnancy it feels like the end of everything; instead it's the start of a curious relationship between the grieving mother and an unborn child who hovers somewhere between ghost and angel. Angela, Megan's "little angel" has character and dreams all her own, friends who may or may not be real angels, and a little brother who brings hope to her mother's world. But Angela's dream-world has a secret and one day Angela might learn how to be real. |
