Announcement (#IWSG March 2025)


Who missed February? I dunno. Why are you looking at me?

I'm not going to do today's question. The idea of being anyone or anything for a day leads me down all sorts of random creative hallways, all of which ends with me blowing up certain world leaders. So we'll try to keep this on a positive note.

It's still not done, but fuck it, I'm announcing it today. It's veeeeeery nearly ready, so maybe throwing it out into the wild will light a fire under my ass to finally push it out the door.

...Ready?


Gale Harbour book three is officially titled: Dirtbag Satan Worshippers From Down By The Bay!

Here's the tentative blurb:

****

Newfoundland, Canada. 1994.

Niall O’Neil is wallowing in teenage angst, still getting over Harper Jeddore, his childhood crush who helped him save the sleepy town of Gale Harbour from otherworldly monsters. Twice. When he meets a new, less-complicated girl named Stacey, it seems his life might be turning a corner. But Niall is pulled back into his old world when people start disappearing around town again, seemingly abducted by Satan-worshipping rednecks.

Torn between his new existence of simple happiness and his messy feelings for his old flame, Niall must make a decision: Enjoy dating girls, experimenting with drinking and making new friends, or risk his life to save the town one more time?

The fate of the entire world may depend on the choices of a hormonal fourteen-year-old with a flair for the dramatic.

Join Niall, Harper, Pius, Keith and Skidmark as they band together for one last adventure…

***

The blurb is still a work in progress, so any feedback is welcome.

A new book of course means a new cover style, so that means I had to redo the first two covers as well:


I'm really happy with the new style, but again, feedback is welcome!

Keeping it short and sweet today. When exactly is the new book coming out! Release date TBD - I do have a date in mind, and it's coming up soon, I just need to wait for all the pieces to fall into place. Watch this space for more info!

How was your month?

Hugs & Kisses,

Congrats on your upcoming book release! Your cover is cool and matches the others in the series. My only suggestion on your blurb is to put Niall's age in the first sentence rather than the end of the blurb so readers know it's YA right away.

Congratulations! Although I'm starting to feel bad for Niall. So much for a normal teen life.

Blowing people up (in fiction) is why we write :-)

"Join Niall, Harper, Pius, Keith and Skidmark as they band together for one last adventure…" After three times having to save that town, I wouldn't count on it being the last time. Sounds like a good series. I wish I could think of someone to gift them to.

Horror AND humor! Sounds enticing for one of those getaway weekends at a lonely cabin deep in the mountains. Congratulations on your new release. May Gale Harbour survive this latest attack!

I like the new covers--they have a sort of retro feel :) As for missing February... I feel like the whole month sort of eluded me (maybe because I spent more than half of it in a limbo down in CA working on my daughter's new house?). Congrats on the new book!

Loni Townsend said...

LOL. NICE. So happy for your release. And the new covers made me chuckle.

Birgit said...

Congratulations on the new book and I love the look of it….reminds me of 50s Z movies….too bad Betty Page can’t be on the cover:)) . Yeah, I have not yelled at the tv so much, filled with expletives than in the last few weeks. Rump has only been in office 6 weeks! Holy &@$(!

I hear you on the world leaders, C.D. Your newest Gale Harbour story sounds like a winner! February disappeared for me too. All the best to you.

Squee! Congratulations!

I am excited for this! I love this series. It was fun and you know I need that. Now, hubby really has to find a new job asap so I can buy the book. ;)
