My Wife is now officially a Published Author

One of my wife's life goals was to get two books she'd been working on published.
This first one Fortitude is a Historical Young Adult novel, set in 1898 Mobile & Dauphin Island, AL and Tampa, FL.
Many years on/off research and writing, rewriting and then a frustrating year of rejections from various publishers.
She was finally picked up by a new company, Anaiah Press.

They liked her first book so well they asked if she had more, her second was taken too.
It will be released in April of '16, it is titled Corroded, it is a Contemporary Young Adult novel.

The editors have told her that anything she writes they'll find a place for.
Book three is currently being researched/written, it will be a Gothic Horror set in 1906 Montrose on Mobile Bay.

Fortitude is now available for Kindle pre-order at amazon.com, it will be released Dec 8th.

Highest contratulations. Writing a book is hard work and take a lot of dedication, especially with kids to raise and a pier fisherman for a husband.

Congrats!!!!!

Kudos to the wife, CR! Getting published is a terrific accomplishment!

The wife says thanks for the encouragement and support.

I hope this book or one the others is a best seller, make a name for herself in the world of literature.
I sure would like to retire as a kept man, help with the kids and fish. :D
