Sharing the excitement

Volume 4

The books are back from the printer, the promotional posters are being printed and the official book launch is just two weeks away.


These are exciting times for any writer. The release of Abigail Massey at McAdam Station, Volume 4, is even more exciting for me because I get to share the experience with another writer, Mary E. O'Keefe. For Mary, this book represents her first big publication and it's been a lot of fun to re-experience those first-time feelings with her.

Mary is a retired nurse and a wonderful author in her own right. She has contributed two of the six stories to this collection and I'm happy to admit that they are two of the strongest of the six.

In fact, her story, "University Bound", is the first tale in the volume and plays the important role of both giving one of our central characters a well-deserved send-off and setting up the remaining stories in the book.

And she seems to be enjoying this, her first real creative publication, immensely. I watched with no small amount of joy as she took the first copy of the book into her hands with something close to reverence, her eyes shining.

Mary will be taking part in most of the promotional events with me on this book and I'm delighted by that too. With my sister (and co-creator) Lynn far away in Ontario, it's great to have part of the creative team with me for this new voyage.

The book launch is scheduled for Sunday, November 8 at 1 p.m. in McAdam and we're hoping for a good-sized crowd. The event will feature the first public showing of our fabulous new trailer for the proposed Abigail web TV series, plus Mary and much more. If you're in the area, please make it a plan to attend this fun, free event!
