Hello readers!

I’m emerging from my writing cave ever so briefly to present you with something very fun! Last month, I was contacted by a Mr. Devon Oakander, a talented acting school graduate who took a liking to the adventures of Dax Harrison. Devon asked if there were any plans for an audiobook version of Dax, and if so, could he submit a recording to audition as narrator?

Needless to say, I was completely humbled. I would LOVE to hear Dax narrated in all his ridiculous glory. As I have been focusing on completing and publishing the print manuscript, I have yet to research the ins and outs of audiobook publishing. If it ends up being feasible, then yes, there will be news on this front at an undetermined point down the road.

In the meantime, you can CLICK HERE to listen to Devon’s terrific reading of the book’s prologue! I believe he matched the over-the-top opening scene quite well with an old Hollywood radio quality in his voice. But don’t take my word for it. Go give it a listen!

....Okay, did you listen? Good stuff, right? He even managed to pronounce "Carteagan" in a much fancier fashion than I originally meant. Haha. Feel free to share the link around and get some more readers on the Dax bandwagon!

As always, my thanks again to each and everyone of you. I hope you find my humble little adventure book to be worth the wait. The writing continues. I even decided to use a bunch of vacation time off work through the second half of February. I want to be laser focused with as little distractions as possible. Wish me luck!

Brief update!  As has been reported, "Women Like Us" met its funding goal and will be published under Inkshares’ Quill imprint. But we actually hit that goal a couple of weeks before the funding deadline of 2/17, so if you still want to pre-order and haven’t yet, why not now? I am shooting for 300 because...why not? Meanwhile, design of the Honor-Derric-of-the-Beagle-Freedom-Project tattoo is in progress so more on that soon. And I have created a Facebook page just for the book. On this page I will include any updates on publication plus little things I think might pique your interest. For instance the first post is a picture of what Edith Vale’s house in Pasadena would look like because here is where much of the action of the book takes place.

If you like sprawling Paul Williams-designed Monterrey Colonials you’ll like this house too. 

So here’s the link to the Facebook page. If you’re on Facebook please head over there and hit that like button.

Okay that’s it for now. Thanks again for all the support.  Stay tuned for more.

Greetings all my wonderful readers, supporters and friends,

I thought it would be nice to give you an update of my book.

The raw script to Life Happened has been done for a while, but in a writing process that means you are far from finished. To give you an example Hemingway rewrote one of his masterpieces 50 times...Don’t be scared, that’s not what I’m aiming for! I do however want you to get an interesting read in the end. That said, I have let two dear friends read the script and give their feedback. Since then I have been tweaking the text according to their great ideas. It’ almost  done, which means the text will be sent to a professional content editor that will not be changing anything, but give me another round of feedback in regards to structure and characters. Once that is all done, a copyeditor come into the picture, checking the grammar.

So, it’s rather a lengthy back-and forth process, and at the same time developing and fun! I hope to be able to send you a newly printed copy in time for the summer, and preferably earlier. Until then, I thank each and every one of you for your wonderful support!

Love,

Caroline
