My new book!

I never really finished Mike and Dave's story I felt, but the publisher of Secrets unfortunately decided to discontinue their YA line, and so I put away my half-finished manuscript and decided to let it lie -- knowing how hard it would be to interest another publisher in a sequel to a book put out by someone else.

However, that unfinished manuscript nagged at me, and eventually -- in an on-again, off-again way -- I decided I would finish it and put it out there for anyone to read. And yesterday -- shout hurrah! -- I did just that.

It's a wonderful thing, to get a book actually, totally, all i's dotted, all t's crossed, finished! And now I can stop thinking about it, and move on to other things. First and foremost, of course, being putting the finishing touches to my adult mystery -- what I hope will be the beginning of a series (if I can find a publisher!), concerning the adventures of Mike as a private investigator. And if you've ever wondered where Mike and Dave live (something I never mention in the YA books), the answer's Vancouver -- a very nice place to set a PI series I feel.

Anyway, you can download my new book Discoveries from my website, either in one big hit (it's in pdf format) or in smaller 3-chapter chunks. You can also test the waters first by reading the first chapter online.

Discoveries tells Dave's story, immediately following Secrets, and though it spends quite a bit of time exploring what the Pack is, and the Pack-brothers' needs, it centers on Dave's emotional journey as he seeks to overcome the burdens of his past. First and foremost, as always, it's a story of friendship, and love. I hope you'll read it, and if you do, and enjoy it, I hope you'll pass it on.
