Happy 2015 Everyone! I was planning on doing my usual January post where I review my writing and riding goals from last year and set up new goals for the coming year, but that all seems really boring now. Why? Because my new year just started out with a BANG! On New Year’s Day, I accepted an offer from Fire and Ice YA to publish my Young Adult thriller, “Trail of Secrets”. Somebody pinch me! The release date is scheduled for sometime in August or September 2015 and my book will be available in both digital and print formats. And to make things even better, Fire and Ice YA publishes tons of horse-related books. They are the ideal publisher for my book, as “Trail of Secrets” takes place at a riding academy in Northern Michigan. I can’t wait to read some other books published by Fire and Ice YA and let everyone know when I find some gems.

I’ve been overwhelmed by all the congratulatory messages I’ve received on my Author Facebook page the last couple of days. Some people have asked how they can help me in these months before the book is released. The answer is pretty simple: spread the word! I’d love for my blog readers to “like” my FB page and share the link with friends. “Trail of Secrets” will most likely to appeal to young adults and adults who love horses, enjoy ghost stories, or simply crave a good mystery. In the meantime, I’ll be sure to keep everyone up to date on the cover reveal, pre-sale opportunities, and the release date.

I’ll save the “big reveal” of my list of 2015 goals for a future post when there’s a little less excitement in the air. But here’s a hint: I need to get back to riding!

Hope everyone’s year is off to a great start too!
