Novel Release: Mo Dearbadan~de
« on: Sunday 21 August 2011, 05:14 »
Tonight I launched the Ebook publication of my novel Mo Dearbadan~de.  Gaelic for My Butterfly.


As many of you know, the writing of this book has been a long journey and I am tickled beyond belief that it has finally come into its own!


Please, check it out!   :D 
If you would like a print version, they will be available soon on Amazon's Createspace.  I will post the link when it goes Live as well!


Thanks in advance for all your support in this endeavor!

Pat....the Kobo epub version is on there as well.   :D


Actually...all the versions are on there, so you dont have to wait for it to be published with your eReader carrier. (which could take a week or two)  You can go directly to the site and get it!  :bounce :bounce

I second that! I'm absolutely fascinated. I've read other books that were supposed to be set in Scotland, but really, it could've been anywhere. This one brings the places alive like no other. And not just the places, the characters, as well. They are so real and so easy to identify with them.
