Publish Your Own E-Book Course – Camosun College

Saturday, January 28th, 2012

I’m again teaching a full-day course on e-book publishing at Camosun College, Victoria, BC. The course is on Saturday, February 4th.

Here’s the blurb and a link to Camosun – Publish Your Own E-book to register.

Thinking about publishing your writing but struck out with traditional publishers? Don’t fancy the headache of self-publishing in print? Then it’s time to join the latest publishing sensation.

You can publish your magnum opus (or cookbook, or romance, or…) in an electronic book format, sell it through major online booksellers and receive above average royalties as easy as a,b,c…well, almost.

This course will introduce you to all things e-book including set-up and formatting, online bookselling sites, e-reader choices, cover image basics and marketing possibilities.

And it’s only $75.00 (plus the dreaded HST). Always a full house; love to see you there!

Special Invite: Readings by Van Isle Mystery Authors Jan. 26, 2012

Monday, January 9th, 2012

Hey Mystery Fans,

Winter and gloomier days are upon us. Life’s duller now, perhaps boring so brighten it up with a fun outing!

Why not join me and three other local mystery authors for Dead of Winter: 4 Mystery Writers in Search of an Audience?

Lou Allin, M. Miles Gray, Denise Dietz and moi will be reading from some of our work at the Sidney/North Saanich Regional Library, Thursday, January 26th from 7-8:30 pm. Address 10091 Resthaven Drive, Sidney. Phone 250-656-0944.

Yeah, yeah, you’ll have to go out into the dark but once you get through the Library’s doors, you’ll be enveloped in a warm and mysterious possibly criminal glow.

And it’s free!

And we’re nice!

And there’s gonna be treats!

More info here.  Hope to see you!
