Six months ago, I released the novel Christine's Odyssey, a coming-of-age story. Today, I'm happy to announce that the second book in that series will be released next month. In both stories, there is one character who turns things around for Christine and her brother, making a huge difference in their lives. Based on that aspect of the novels, I thought Heroes' Day—a national holiday in Jamaica—would be a good time for a release. I'll be going a day later though, with the official release.
In keeping with the hero theme, I'll be hosting a blogfest called Who's Your Hero? which will run from October 22 - 24. Did you know Jamaica has seven National Heroes? Yeah, we do. Hence the theme of my badge, which you're free to copy. The blogfest will be hosted at The Character Depot.
It's easy to participate. Write a maximum of 300 words in which you talk about someone who's encouraged or inspired you in some way. It may be a spouse, writing buddy, teacher, one of your kids or none of the above. You get the gist.
If you can't participate in the blogfest, I'll also be organizing a write up that can be shared via twitter if people are so inclined. Leading up to the release of Saving Sam, I've discounted Christine's Odyssey to $0.99, so get your copy if you haven't read it as yet.
Feel free to tweet this post (see the icons below? Hint. Hint) as the more people we have the merrier. I should add here that I'll be doing a random drawing for a $10 Amazon Gift Card as well as e-copies of both books on October 25. The Rafflecopter will be running from here on in.
Many thanks for participating and thanks ever so much to those of you who helped me decide on the cover for Saving Sam! Don't forget to sign up on the Linky list below.
