| Congratulations, Denise! |
Brian,
So, my friends, the ink is barely dry on the publishing
contract for A Keeper’s Truth, but I couldn’t wait to share the news with
you! The launch isn’t scheduled yet, but I’ll be sure to fill you in when it
is, hoping you all join me to celebrate.
Yippee!
My agent is the amazing Catherine Luttinger of Darhansoff and Verrill
and the publisher for A Keeper’s Truth
is BDP, Bottom Drawer
Publishing. We are thrilled!

and March 7 in Niagara on the Lake (see here).

| Rick Revelle reads from I am Algonquin |
Brian,
Just thought I’d drop you a line and tell you
that I signed a contract with Dundurn Press for my second book of the Algonquin
Quest Series. The title is Algonquin Spring and it takes place
six years after the first book of the series, I
Am Algonquin.
Both novels take place in the 1300s. Algonquin
Spring is set in Northern New York State, the Gaspe region of Quebec,
Vermont, New Hampshire, and the Ottawa Valley. This book introduces the reader to
some new magical characters from the Native world. Readers will also learn
about the Mi´kmaq and Mohawk communities and their languages.
New heroes, old heroes and dangerous enemies – they
are all there to follow as they try to survive in this harsh environment.
Questions will be answered from the first book;
however new mysteries will evolve in Algonquin Spring.
Release date to be determined in the next few
months.
Currently I am doing research on the third book
of the Series, Algonquin Pursuit.

| Congratulations, Melanie! |
Brian,
I was
informed that I made the top 10 in the In Places Between contest for the When Words Collide literary
festival back in June. Well, last Sunday at the festival, I learned I won
second place!
Publication in
the chapbook came with my inclusion in the short list, but a modest monetary
prize ($100) was my reward for making second place. Even better, I received the
written comments of all four judges (one of whom was Robert Runte of Five
Rivers Publishing) on my story. As I retain copyright, I have the means to get
"On the Ferry" published elsewhere.
It was a
win-win-win-win :)

| "Sorry, Mom. Not Hallmark" |
Hi, Brian.
Near
to the Knuckle in the UK has posted my story, “The Perfect Home.” On their
home page, it’s the story with a picture of a man’s hands holding a knife
behind his back. Sorry, Mom, not Hallmark!
Let me know
what you think!

| Sometimes it helps to have a buddy |
Hi, Brian.
I am an inspired and
aspiring writer looking to connect with other writers for inspiration and
critiquing. If you have a writing group in the London area or you’re looking
for a writing buddy, please contact me!
I find that in good
company my writing muse is inspired and comes to life with new ideas and plots.
Also in down times, it’s nice to know I’m not alone as a romantic,
temperamental writing fool. I hope I am able to connect with others like me who
are still dreamers and hope for future success.

Note: If you're looking for a writers' group or a ghost writer or want to get the word out to your fellow writers for anything else, just send me an email I can post in Writer to Writer. You'll get responses. – Brian (brianhenry@sympatico.ca)
