Good News
Several months ago, the distributor for my novel Dead Witness, Nancy Wise from Sandhill Book Marketing, suggested I contact Theytus Books about publishing my novel Broken But Not Dead. I did. And last Saturday, October 17, I signed a contract. Note the gigantic smile on my face:
Theytus Books was established in 1980 and became the first First Nations owned and operated Indigenous publishing house in Canada. The name Theytus is a Salishan word meaning "preserving for the sake of handing down." Selected by its' First Nations founder Randy Fred, the name Theytus was selected to symbolize the goal of documenting Indigenous cultures and worldviews via books. I'm very proud to be associated with them.
Anita Large, publisher and Tracy Lawlor, sales and marketing, gave me a warm welcome, full of enthusiasm and excitement over the publication of my book Broken But Not Dead. While our relationship has only just become, already I feel a connection to these incredibly talented women. They stand for everything I admire in my culture and my country: integrity, honour and dedication to their craft.
Thanks to Nancy Wise for suggesting I query Theytus, and for all the kind words she said about my first novel Dead Witness. Because I self-published Dead Witness, the process of publishing Broken But Not Dead will be a new experience for me. I'll keep you updated on the process and in doing so, I hope I clear up any misconceptions about the business.
Here's a brief description of my psychological thriller Broken But Not Dead:
When it comes to the safety of her daughter Zoe, retired English Professor Brendell Kisepisim Meshango knows no limit. Frightened beyond words, she draws upon an inner strength to go after her stalkers, a psycho and his murderous brother. What she must do to survive requires more than even she thought she was capable of.
Thank you to everyone for your support for Dead Witness. I hope you enjoy Broken But Not Dead with the same enthusiasm.
