Oh, it's good to have supportive friends and family! The first two reviews have come in, and my family editor wants to meet with me and go over some constructive feedback notes. The feedback is positive, encouraging me to take the next step. Time to look for more interested readers, and a publisher just looking for a short adventure story set in Nova Scotia for the 12-14-year-old demographic!
I've started my next story, which will be longer. It's based on a little conspiracy theory of mine...

Nova Scotia Adventure story finished!
I just put the finishing touches on my Nova Scotia adventure story this weekend. Just printed out the first two paper copies. It will be interesting to see who volunteers to read it, and what the reactions will be. I gave it my best...now we'll see what the critics have to say!
The first reading opportunities go to family and friends. One hopes they will be diplomatic. Then we'll see if anyone else is interested!
Next, a conspiracy story is in the works. I'm having fun!

New Creative Works
You haven't heard from me for a while because life has been taking all my energy and focus recently. When I have had the chance, I've been working on writing two new books! I can't give details right now without giving too much away, but I can tell you this much.
One is an adventure about a 12-year-old boy, based on my time living in Nova Scotia. It's a short novel for kids around that age, using lots of local history and geography.
The other book is non-fiction for an adult audience about negotiating through the challenges of life today. It's sort of a guide book, (I don't want to say "self help for dummies"), but that sort of idea. (I had to live the experiences before I could write about them, so I suppose that makes me the original dummy!) Anyway, I'm enjoying the writing process. Once I'm done both books, I'll be interested to see if anyone wants to read them!
Volunteers?
