Today, I wanted to help spread the news for blogger, Siv Ottem. Her debut novel, Secrets of the Ash Tree, is about to be birthed. The due date is September 1st. But first she’ll be revealing the cover, on Monday, July 29th, in an ultrasound-sort-of-way. It’s a secret. GO HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION
Here’s the Blurb:
In the realm of the gods and fairy tales the mystery of life is an endless path with many secrets to be discovered. Some secrets are like dreams, just waiting in darkness hoping to get into the light.
“Secrets of the Ash Tree” is the story about Liv, a young woman who discovers her true nature through the unraveling of hidden secrets. Her adventures begin when she digs up a chest that was buried by her father under the old ash tree in her garden. What she finds inside the chest changes her life forever. Liv discovers one secret after another and is thrown into a world full of dangerous and strange creatures, mighty Norse warriors and perils beyond her belief. What started out as a fairy tale in her father’s journal was to become her legacy, a guide line to survival, and a map to the world she was about to enter. Each day, each mystery, each encounter will ultimately reveal her true destiny and behind the edge of a sword awaits a young god who is willing to share that destiny with her.

I wanted to write a little more on my blog today, but I’ve got to get ready for work soon. I also know I’ve slacked in my blog reading lately. Got my grandson again part time. Found some great critique partners. And got a beta-reading going on.
Hopefully, I’ll get a handle on everything.
Hugs and chocolate,
Shelly
It is good to learn that you have some good critique partners and have a group to work with.
ReplyDeleteYes. It is because I was beginning to worry.
DeleteLooks like a good read; I'll look forward to it.
ReplyDeleteI have no doubt that it is.
DeleteGood for Siv!
ReplyDeleteYes. It is. When is yours coming?
DeleteNow there's the million dollar question. I don't think even William knows at this point....
DeleteIts been over a year since I beta read it.
DeleteI ran into a complete stall doing the final read throughs with my mother's death. I'm slowly going through it.
DeleteI understand that. Certain things come to a halt when life throws us a curve ball.
DeleteThat sounds like an interesting book. I love the Norse myths.
ReplyDeleteMe, too.
DeleteGreetings human Shelly,
ReplyDeleteI think it's marvellous that you bring further awareness of Siv.
Of course, I've taken the liberty to share this, even on 'Farcebark'.
Much fulfilment with your critique partners.
Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar!
So glad for Siv.
DeleteCongrats to Siv! Have fun with your grandson, and try to take lots of naps!

I've been awake since 5:30 AM and could use a nap before I get ready for work. The Glowstick is everywhere.
DeleteHugs and chocolate,

Thank you, Sarah.
DeleteGrandchildren grow up all too quickly so enjoy where he is right now. Blink and he will have grown four inches! Siv is a great writer and better friend -- as are you. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Roland.
DeleteI'm slacking too. We can only do what we can.
ReplyDeleteThis is true.
