So, the moment I’ve been waiting for (and of course all of you too, right?) has finally arrived.  The first book in the Genesis Chronicles, Emergence, is finally available for sale.  Both the trade paperback and the ebook are available at amazon.  But you can also buy the trade paper through my createspace estore front if you click this link.

It’s been twenty-five years since people started to change in the Pacific Northwest…  Since the emergence of the first Valkyries.  Most find it easier to pretend the problem doesn’t exist.  That the contagion isn’t something that can touch them.  Unfortunately the next to transform, and sprout wings, could be anyone.

Most of all, Jessica Reuther wants nothing more to do with Valkyries.  But when a recovery team comes for her, she becomes the contested bone among the wolves.  And a vicious game of tug-o-war ensues while she is forced to face a reality she prayed would never come.  In the wake of her metamorphosis, a new kind of change begins to sweep through the fledgling race, one that could have devastating consequences for humanity.

Emergence is the first instalment in the Genesis Chronicles series.  The second book, Flight, is in revisions at the moment and will be released later this summer.  If you would like an appetizer of the start of the book, I have posted the first four chapters under the books button at the top of my website.

And Merry Christmas, Yule, and all the other holiday’s I’ve missed writing about.

It’s been a very good holiday season here for us.  Today the sun is shining bright on a cold frosty morning.  The water is clear out over the straight.  We don’t get days like this often enough.  Now don’t get me wrong, I love a good rain storm but when its weeks straight it
 
gets pretty boring.  I’m sure I would get sick of sun if it was out all the time too.

The holiday season was beautiful.  We decorated inside and out.  And had family come from far and near to celebrate with us.  The kids are at an age where staying home was important to them.  It’s the first Christmas they both remember having at home and they made
the most of it.  The hustle and bustle and hecticness was fun but it is nice to start to get back to our own schedule. 

With the end of the holiday’s and this bright shiny day out, can’t help but start to dream about spring. And what better way than setting up our seed order for our garden this year.  Our favorite seed supplier is Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds.  If you haven’t heard of them I highly recommend looking them up for your seed needs.  They are all non-gmo and organic seed.  I also really like 
potatogarden.com.  They sell great potatoes to grow.

So the huge dreams of bountiful garden harvest have begun.  Only the passing of the year will show how close to the dream we come, but the journey will be fun and worth it.

On the writing front, we are stepping closer to that dream accomplished.  Cover concepts are being thrown around for Emergence.  And if we are lucky it’ll be more than a concept soon.  As soon as Emergence is out the gate then I can finish the last of the first draft of Dae’s book, the first Cambion novel I have planned.  Then on to the edits for Flight of the Valkyrie, the book after Emergence.

The work plan for the year is etching itself out into the calendar and if we can stay on the road it’s looking like it’ll be an excellent year.

I hope all of yours will be as bright and sunny  :D
