Hello,
just wanted to remind everyone that the tail end of the year is usually a very busy time for me and that it's now the time to start sending deposits to book spots for the coming months. Please remember that normal turnaround time for a first and second draft is around 4 weeks depending on how fast you send back the first draft. Book as long as possible in advance, especially if you have release dates set already.
I look forward to working on all your new projects!

Need a real-life forensic consultant for your novel?
Hello, readers!
I've recently gotten into reading a lot of fictional books about crimes, with all sorts of interesting characters ranging from FBI agents down to crime scene techs. If you happen to be an author of this type of novel, I have great news for you!
Today I'd like to promote a friend's website. Brette O'Connell studied and worked in the field of Forensic Science Technology. She has real-life hands-on experience in processing crime scenes. How amazing is that, anyway? How many people do you know who can say the same?
Her studies and job experience put her in a sweet position where she can provide accuracy to those crime scenes you're developing in your book. Feel free to contact Brette, and she'll help you get all the forensic details right.

"An unusual job" by Trudy Wassenaar
Readers, greetings! I have been busy busy with projects and thus haven't been updating my blog as often as I'd like. Let me make it up to you by telling you about this book I worked on recently, "An unusual job" by Trudy Wassenaar.
Dr Trudy Wassenaar has intensive experience in the medical field. Her medical background puts her in the unique position of having vast knowledge with which to weave this medical mystery. The main character, Sue Swanson, owns a scientific consulting company, specializing in microbiology and genomics, much like the author. She seeks some outside work to occupy her time, and ends up working for a pharmaceutical company as a packer of pills. She quickly discovers some irregularities with the products she's packing, and from there embarks on an adventure to help the CEO of the company uncover exactly what nefarious activities are happening right under his nose, things that could ruin the big pharmaceutical company's reputation irrevocably.
Trudy's medical background is the perfect complement to her writing, as she provides the readers with lots of interesting scientific information that helps move the plot along and also throws the readers even deeper into the story. Sue Swanson, the heroine, is very well developed. You can almost believe this person exists in real life, and that the book isn't fiction at all, but a truthful retelling of a woman's adventure. I had never experienced such a wonderful form of storytelling like when I read and worked on Dr Wassenaar's book, such a mix of fiction and real-life scientific truths. It's a truly enjoyable read, not boring at all, and with some humor thrown in, so the book isn't serious or dry.
Feel free to check out the book on Amazon. You can get it in print or ebook format. Go ahead and leave a review if you enjoy it as much as I did!

guest post for Lindsay Buroker
Hey there! I've been away for forever, I know. I promise to update more frequently in the coming months. There are a lot of new authors I have worked with that I have yet to feature, so be on the lookout for posts with links to buy their books.
Today I'd like to share a guest post I did for author Lindsay Buroker a while back. It's about common mistakes authors make. I hope you find it informative!

Building Dad: Journal Of A New Father by Chris Osborn
Hello, readers! Today I'd like to blog about a book I recently worked on,
Building Dad: Journal Of A New Father by Chris Osborn
You guys have no idea how enjoyable this book is. I suggest you read it to find out. It's nothing what you expect. It's not a typical parenting book. It's more about the journey of becoming a parent from a man's point of view, told in a hilarious way. It is touching at times, but mostly it's a hilarious, unique read.
The book can be purchased through Amazon here.
