Podcasts & Live Readings Coming Up!

11/30/2022

I feel like I'm saying this every time I write a post, but oh my goodness, there's so much going on right now in writerly news!

I don't know if it's live, but TONIGHT at 7:30pm EST, I will be chatting with the fabulous Emma G. Rose and Shelley Shearer on the Indie Book Talk Podcast. You can catch the show on their website OR if you'd like to see our lovely faces, you can see us on their YouTube channel.

Then, on Friday, December 2nd, you can catch me reading live at FBomb online at 6pm EST, hosted by author extraordinaire Paul Beckman - if you'd like the Zoom link to catch the show with all the readers this Friday, simply email me at amcbain@gmail.com and I'll send it to you.

Speaking of podcasts, you can also catch me on The Authors Show on Tuesday, December 6th, where I'll be talking about my just-released book The New Empire - what it's about, how I researched it, how to get it, and an excerpt from it.

So there's a lot of things going on as we slide into December and the holiday season - should be a great end to the year!

Interviews, News & Book Reviews

Where to start? Lots has been going on this past month, not the least of which is me venturing out into the city to become familiar with my new digs in the Edmonton, Alberta area. Really having a fun time getting to know the writing and reading communities in this fair city, including joining a library book club (our first read was The Marrow Thieves by Cherie Dimaline) as well as meeting several local authors.

Speaking of great authors, I recently read Amy Bleu's In My Secret Life about the darker side of modeling. My book review was published in Coffee Time Reviews, and I highly recommend reading it (the book, not my review - although both are good reads).

In my own personal news, I recently had the privilege of being interviewed on Jerry's Circumlocation by Jerry Harwood. If you'd like a peek behind the curtain when it comes to my recently released book The New Empire (and a short excerpt from my book), plus some writing advice that has worked well for me, you can take a look at the interview HERE.

I'm also very thrilled to have received a 5-star review from Readers Views for The New Empire, in addition to author Jon F. Zeigler giving my book a 5-star review on his blog Sharrukin's Palace and labeling it as "very highly recommended."

Hope everyone is having a good week in the lead-up to the Thanksgiving holiday in the USA. Happy holidays to those who celebrate, and wishing a happy week for everyone!

I'm very excited for the month of November for several reasons - one, it's NaNoWriMo (see my previous blog post if you don't know what that is), two, it's my youngest daughter's birthday, and THREE...

...it's the AllAuthor Book Cover Contest! (Okay, I know that's a bit of a cheesy way to make an announcement, LOL.) But, seriously, my book is one of the contenders for the contest this month, and I'm very excited to see how far it goes. I designed the cover, and it's one of my favorites that I've ever worked on.

So please vote HERE if you like my cover - you can vote every week as the covers advance to the next round. At the end, the top three covers with the most votes are the winners for that month. I'd love to make it to the top three.

Thank you!!!!!
