In honour of the first anniversary of the release of Seeker of Stars, I have an offer, some news and a present for you.
First, the offer. From now until Labour Day, I am offering you the lowest price ever offered on this book: $16 (plus shipping). If you buy three or more books, I will pay the shipping costs. Remember when you buy the book from me, it is also tax-free. If your book club, Bible study group or church would be interested in buying a larger number copies, please contact me about my staggering bulk rate. (Remember, there are book club and Bible study questions for the book on my website www.susanfish.com)
Now, the news. My wonderful publisher Winding Trail Press has ceased publication as of this summer. Publishing is a challenging industry, particularly in Canada, with few margins. WTP is one of many exciting enterprises halted by lack of funding, even in the face of critical acclaim and good sales. I want to publicly applaud Ruth Bradley-St-Cyr for her vision, passion and good editing, and to thank her for taking a chance on me.
I am in conversation with various publishers around the world and hope to announce a new home and distributor for this book in the next few months, but for now, the very best place for you to purchase Seeker of Stars is on my website, where you will get prompt replies and personalized service.
And now, the best to last: the gift. (How can it get any better, you ask? Keep reading!) While on holidays this summer, I completed the manuscript for my second novel and have begun sending it out to publishers. Because this process can take months and years, I thought I should whet your appetite with a short excerpt — the prologue, actually. The book is set on Quebec’s Gaspe; peninsula and follows the story of a young man who arrives there as a tourist, is persuaded to stay for a year as a teacher, and whose life is shaped by the community and place in which he finds himself.
Enjoy!! And do let me know how many copies of Seeker of Stars you would like!
