LURE!!

A big box full of crisp new books arrived on my doorstep yesterday - aaah the sweet smell of fresh ink! And so, with the cutting open of cardboard, another book is born! And it’s already blazing a trail out into the world - copies are in stock at Amazon Canada and should be arriving on your favourite bookstore shelf soon.

Review: And on the heels of Lure’s birth comes it’s first awesome review from CM Magazine who has pronounced it to be: “Highly Recommended…exciting to the very end.” Click on the CM link to read the full review.

Contest: And as if that’s not enough to get you excited, we’re having a Lure CONTEST too! Teen writers who are interested in crafting their own ghost story can enter to win a story critique from yours truly, a ghostly prize pack of books from Dundurn Press (retail value: $150.00), AND will have their story printed in an upcoming issue of What If? Magazine! How cool is that? For more details and info on how to enter, check out the Lure Ghostly Short Story Contest website.

Launch: If you live in the Toronto area and want to come join me at the Lure Launch party, here’s your invitation. We’re launching Lure on the evening of Sat. Oct. 30th (the night before Halloween, of course) at the Thornhill Village Library - the old haunted house where the book is set. There will be cake and a ghost tour and a chance to get your copy of LURE signed as well as to win a prize pack of spooooky books. Best of all, it’s all FREE! Interested? Call (905) 513-7977 ext. 5522 to register - spots are limited so reserve yours soon!

Really hope to see YA there!!!

WordFest: For those of you in Western Canada, I’ll be dropping by your neck of the woods chatting about Lure next month when I visit Calgary and Banff for WordFest. If you’re in the area, please come out and say hi!

Book Trailer: As I mentioned, Lure is out just in time for the Halloween season - perfect for those of you who enjoy a spooky read. Or, as my publicist would say, “a book that goes bump in the night”. How spooky are we talking? Check out this video, the first of three creepy trailers for Lure. Watch for the second trailer, coming next week!

BOOOO!!
