All Bottled Up Released!

*throws confetti*

It’s out! It’s out!

My first release from Samhain Publishing is out today, and I have to say I am super excited about this. All Bottled Up was my 2006 NaNoWriMo novel, and one of the first books that I’ve written with a bit of a comedic slant to it. Yes, I know, you’d think that I’d try to write funny more, but it’s HARD! I do dark and broody so much easier. LOL!

This book is special to me because of it taking place in Halifax, NS. I lived there for just over a year, and absolutely adore the city. I wanted to try and work in some of the flavor of the location, and hope I’ve managed to do that.

I also love that this was my first successfully completed NaNoWriMo book. That competition has been a wonderful motivator for me over the years, and the sense of accomplishment I felt after “winning” with ABU was fantastic. It’s also how I met the amazing Amy Ruttan. She’s my buddy. :D

I hope you all enjoy the story, and that it makes you smile.
