GUEST POST
About the letter E: 
My friends think I’ve gone internet crazy. I used to say ebooks weren’t real. I used the internet just for sending emails or helping the kids with homework. Then I heard about an internet competition to get a novel published when I’d just finished writing one. The timing seemed auspicious, and, though my entry failed miserably, writing on the internet soon had me hooked.

Writing a blog was a harder task of course. I’d never even kept a diary for more than six days so I couldn’t imagine how I might write about me. But then I self-published a Christmas book and starting writing blog-posts about that instead.

I still didn’t believe in ebooks, but I discovered emagazines and got some stories published in them. I put links in emails and sent them to all my friends (alas poor friends). Real people read what I’d written… Real people emailed me back and left comments on my blog! My world expanded. I had efriends and reality started to change. When I won an ebook on a blog I decided ebooks must be real, thoroughly enjoyed the read, and sent a story to an epublisher.

Flower Child’s my third ebook with Gypsy Shadow. I’m thrilled to be part of their team. I’m even an avid kindle reader now, believe most heartily in ebooks and efriends, and write and blog whenever I get the chance. Meanwhile my first full-length novel will come out next year in real, genuine, solid, non-e-paper-back, so I still believe in real books and the real world too!

ABOUT THE BOOK

Flower Child tells the story of a curious relationship between a grieving mother and her unborn child. When Megan miscarries her first pregnancy it feels like the end of everything; instead it’s the start of a curious relationship between the grieving mother and an unborn child who hovers somewhere between ghost and angel. Angela, Megan’s “little angel,” has character and dreams all her own, friends who may or may not be real angels, and a little brother who brings hope to her mother’s world. But Angela’s dream-world has a secret and one day Angela might learn how to be real.

Sheila is an amazing writer and a dear friend. I have been following her writing for a few years now via Gather.com and I am delighted by the progress and success she has achieved. This sounds like another amazing book by her.

I was reluctant to embrace ebooks, too, until I got my e-reader. Now I can't imagine why I hesitated.

They're so much easier to pack when you go on vacation aren't they? I always thought they'd be hard to read--give me headaches perhaps--but it's just like reading a book, and I love them.
