New Focus

I will keep the public library rants to a minimum and try and help mom publish her first novel. I've seen author site who want you to promote yourself and recommend you get a blog. She doesn't have much time for that so guess who she chose to do all of her blog writing? That's right....me! Sigh. As if I don't have enough to do what with all the eating and sleeping. So my mom aka Kahnnie Hejl has written a urban fantasy novel about this chick who finds out her family is like all into Santeria and stuff. Her name is Esther De Leon and she's got powers but doesn't believe in magic. I haven't really read much of it but I'll post more later. This book is the first in a trilogy. According to Mom the book is completely finished after she edited it like five times or something. She's still struggling for a name for it. So far she has named it Family Spirits with the second and third novels to be called Past Spirits and Island Spirits. She's submitted it to Baen and Tor because they let you submit without an agent. Mom's also looking into getting published by eBook but not self published. That's just crazy. If she self publishes it will be through Smashwords because that's free! Free is good especially when you get paid for your work.
