White Raven
When I was writing my first novel, The Raven's Pool, I jokingly said to my writing instructor at the Humber School for writers "Well, it will never be a bestseller". He replied, "Yes, it could be." Well, that never happened, but it did inspire me to write three more novels in the series, White Raven, Ravenstone, and Raven's Blood. And there are plans for two more. His comment and comments from my then literary agent, Joanne Kellock, inspired me to write a feature column for Suite101.com called "Writing Bestsellers." These articles have been compiled into a kindle book called Writing Bestsellers: A Journey Through the Challenging World of Publishing. It chronicles my thoughts and feelings, what I learned from the experts, and my experiences in publishing. It's available at Amazon kindle.
