Happy New Year!

2010

will be a fabulous year! :)

January update:
Amazon (.com/.ca/.uk) are all carrying the special editions of
the mis-adventures of Alyson Bell book series
published by The Tenth Muse Books
(older editions are marked as Lulu publishers).

A HUGE thank you to those who have made this series a success! What a great year it's been! Keep those pages turning :) I am thankful for the ever-growing circle of friends that I have met since becoming a writer. Each of you is an inspiration.

9/9/09! book three is released! "The Oracle of the Missing Dryad" is now available for purchase from The Tenth Muse Books.

Added... book four cover for "The Door of the Thousand Keys"

Book four has a new title, as while writing I felt it needed to be a different book in the series. It is an eclipse, a bridge of a book, connecting past to future. The book cover is still in the design stage, but will have a white cover. It is called "The Door of the Thousand Keys" and will be available 10/10/10!

Book five is "The Crystal Goddess and the Wish Keeper" due 11/11/11!

Book six ... well, I can't tell you the title yet as it's a secret :) due 12/12/12!

This has already proved to be an eventful year, and not all in a good way. In March, I had a life-threatening disease take over my arm, risked amputation but instead had a surgery which I still am recovering from. The surgery left a permanent scar up my left arm, which to me resembles a feather. I have dubbed it my "phoenix feather" and it's giving me strength to keep writing, as out of death forms new life. Hence... a new book is being written :) Hope everyone will enjoy reading it when it becomes available.

More soon!

Cheers,

Kristin

Thank you to everyone who helped bring the magic to the Haunted Book Party held on September 27th. Sprinkles could not dampen spirits... it was a lot of fun in our magical grove :) I will post pics as people who attended send them to me, as well as a selection of my own from the party. There already are a handful posted on my profile on Facebook. See Events to where you'll find me next and can meet me in person!

Eric D. Goodman, my long time friend and editor, has published a children's book called Flightless Goose due out this Fall! His wife, Nataliya, did the illustrations. Congrats Eric! Visit his new book at http://www.RunGoose.com

Thanks to Bonni Nye of bee graphics for designing this!

10% of all book sales are donated annually to the Bell Walk for Kids Help Phone. I walk the one in Ottawa, Ontario. See you there! Thanks for your support!

10% of every book sold will go towards Kids Help Phone (kidshelpphone.ca), helping kids of all ages in need of reaching out to someone when they need someplace safe to turn for help. Kids Help Phone helps kids in crisis, be it abuse, bullying, relationships, suicide, etc. It is available by phone and email 24/7, but someone needs to be there to help them, answering those calls for help. Every dollar counts and will ensure that this non-profit organization stays up and running. The Bell Walk for Kids Help Phone for this year has already passed, with a whopping contribution of close to $300! Book sale profits will reflect for 2010. I enjoyed contributing and have decided to make this an annual thing!
