I am so very proud of our authors. All of them. Today, one of our Wild Child Publishing authors wrote to tell me that McNally & Rand, a large bookseller chain in Canada, has bought twelve copies of Fade To Pale. James Cheetham has already pre-sold 130 copies of his book. McNally & Rand has eight of those twelve copies sold already. This is big news for a small press.

What's so special about Fade To Pale? See for yourself:
Some children are forced to grow up quickly, while others aren't meant to grow up at all. Little Rita existed between these two spectrums, wandering between reality and dreams, suffering and surviving in the Here and There.
Some people go over the edge with courage or blind faith, while others wade along the shoreline contemplating what might lay beyond the falls. Rita found the edge and clenched the rocks. There, she lingered as a child in the cold water while hanging on for dear life. There, with broken fingernails and white, waterlogged skin, she remained until she became an adult. All that she needed by then was a nudge...
Her past haunting her every waking moment, her present confusing her troubled mind, she wonders about the future. Fate awaits, but what if destiny is deceived? The universe changes and lives spin out of control. Rita lives one such life and carries her sins close to her heart. A weed amongst the flowers...
On Friday the 13th, Adelle Laudan will be selling her biker fiction novel Iron Horse Rider at the Port Dover, Ontario (insert link pd13.com here), gathering of motorcycle enthusiasts. A hundred thousand bikers are expected to attend. If you are going to be in the area, be sure to stop by and say, "hello" and buy a book. (grin) There are limited quantities, so do it quickly.
After losing his wife in a terrible motorcycle accident, Shane flees from everything and everyone that reminds him of Kelly. He discovers solace in a summer Micmac camp, and with the aid of Chief Gray Owl and the beautiful Tia, Shane's heart begins to heal.
However, even paradise can turn chaotic. To save Tia from a man she fears, Shane is sent on a quest. Throughout his journey, he learns that sometimes friendship comes from the most unusual circumstances, that love never dies, and anything's possible when you're riding in the wind.
M.E. Ellis had two books released Tuesday. Quits: Book Two: Devils is the second in her Quits line. If you haven't read book one, you'll want to do so before reading this one. Both Quits 1 and 2 will leave you wanting more of M.E. Ellis.
Still tormented by the demons from his past, Wayne Thomas embarks on a course of therapy at the Klinter Institute. His therapist, Jen, is eager to ensure he faces every single demon he encountered in his childhood and to re-establish Wayne into society. With the help of Kathy, a speech therapist, and Herbert, a physiotherapist, Wayne begins to rebuild not only his mind, but his body and self-confidence. Once therapy makes a marked improvement upon Wayne, he is offered the chance to move out of Klinter to The Apartments, the second stage of his integration.
However, inner demons and devils are sometimes hard to erase. Wayne's linger in his subconscious, waiting for a chance to break free once more, to wreak havoc within his unstable mind. Will Jen's hard work pay off? Or will Wayne spiral into a world where redemption and payback rule?
But M.E. Ellis is multi-talented. She can write chick lit with the best of them.
