Wednesday Writing Goals and News

I reached my editing goals for book 2 last week! I'm so close to finishing that I'm getting that surge of energy that always comes to me at this stage, love it! The editing on this one hasn't always been this smooth so I'm thrilled that it is finally flowing and coming together.

Those of you who follow my author page on Facebook have read the hints that I have a big announcement coming and I'm finally ready to announce it. This holiday season I'll be releasing a special edition of The Secret of Spruce Knoll through Compass Press in both paperback and eBook. It will have a prologue that wasn't in the Abbott Press version, a lovely new cover (designed by myself at CP Design), a new lower price, and something special. I'm not breaking from Abbott Press, in fact, it's the only place you'll still be able to get a hardback copy (of the original version) of The Secret of Spruce Knoll.

The something special; a percentage of the proceeds from each sale of the special edition of The Secret of Spruce Knoll: A Channeler Novel (released by Compass Press) will go to my favorite charity that specializes in preserving endangered species. My goal is to raise $10,000 next year for the charity and I hope you'll help me by purchasing this new edition of The Secret of Spruce Knoll for yourself or loved ones this holiday season. It will be available late-November but you can pre-order a signed copy now if you would like and I will ship it as soon as it is available.

I'll also be doing a blog tour to spread the word about the special edition and the campaign to save endangered species. If you'd like to be included in my tour just leave me a comment and I'll be sure to contact you!

Cover by CP Design.

  4. What a great idea, Heather. I, myself, have been considering donating a percentage of the profits from THE LEGEND OF VICTOR STANDISH to the New Orleans branch of THE SALVATION ARMY. I am currently researching for charities that exist to help those still hurting from Katrina.

    Or do you think I should just donate to New Orleans branch of THE SALVATION ARMY whose integrity is spotless?

    When your special edition is ready, I, of course, will purchase it. Roland

  24. Wow, I thought the other cover was awesome (hence why I had to buy the book). This one's even better. If I ever self pub, I want to use your designer (just don't tell my friend who also designs covers. Yours are way better).
