trying to get used to WordPress.com’s ‘new and improved’…yeah right… backstage…

Missed posting this yesterday. This is the poster for our launch yesterday!

The event was a blast!

Held it in a venue that hosts a lot of ‘hip’ things, music, poets, etc, in the eclectic Wellington, NZ. (read: a music pub, hence the beer kegs in the photos… adds a touch of…picturesque trendy…I hope.

It was fun, nevertheless.  LOL.

This was darling little Abby, who pulled the spot prize (door prize) tickets for us, with her new poster of the first edition of A Long Trail Rolling!

I’m relieved my bags going back on the plane will be considerably lighter, and plenty of people have new books to read!

Today, however, all of you preorder purchasers of The Hills of Gold Unchanging will get your new ebooks!

I hope you love your new story!  If you love it, please be sure to help others find it by leaving a review where you purchased it!  This is how Indie Authors get known! 🙂

I’ll load the book to Createspace this week and those of you in other parts of the globe will be able to order paper copies of it from there directly, or from Amazon!

Good morning!

A Long Trail Rolling has made the New Zealand Book Council Summer Reads List!  aotearoareads-logo

Booksellers NZ discusses the program here!   They’re keen to inspire interest in home-grown talent!

A cast of New Zealand writers have selected their top picks from the Aotearoa-grown bookshelves to help guide kiwis in their Summer reading goals.

Aotearoa Summer Reads launches with Fairfax Media on Sunday 11 December with not-your-average-housewife and author Gilda Kirkpatrick talking us through her book picks via video on Stuff.co.nz, and with the first reveal of the extended reading list in the Sunday Star Times.

Writers Catherine Chidgey, Carl Nixon, Albert Wendt, Kelly Ana Morey, Jenny Pattrick and Leeanna Morgan have between them orchestrated a stellar list of more than twenty books to inspire our reading choices for the next few months.

It was announced on Stuff online news here

Fairfax Media has picked it up, so the announcement was in the Sunday Star TImes this past weekend, and will be out everywhere!

Pretty exciting stuff!
