WRITERS HELPING WRITERS®

Helping writers become bestselling authors

50,000 HITS!

WOW. I’ll say it again…WOW!!!

It’s been a little over a year and here we are at 50K. Hard to believe, isn’t it? Thank you for your continued visits, comments and linking! We’re glad for all the time you spend here at The Bookshelf Muse, and that you find our Thesaurus Collection and ramblings on writing useful.

I wanted to do something special for this big milestone, and as luck would have it, I recently attended my VERY FIRST BOOK SIGNING for a very good writer friend of mine, Janet MacLeod. She is a Canadian YA author who’s debut novel, Waiting to Score is finally on the shelf!

Did I mention I happened to be at the front of the line at the signing, and my book was the first one she’s ever signed? EVER. I mean, how freakin’ cool is that? And even cooler is the fact that I bought two signed copies. One for me, and one for you!

Waiting to Score

Quirky 15-year-old Zack Chase is a smart, talented hockey player who knows how to score on the ice. Hockey’s in his blood. Trouble is he’s not so sure he wants to follow his late father’s footsteps to become a professional hockey player. But, Zack’s Mom is determined he’ll make it to the pros, no matter what.

When Zack and his Mom move to a new town, incidents on ice and off force Zack to dig deep to find out who he really is–and what he really wants. Is it Jane, the hockey hating Goth girl he’s wildly intrigued with? Or an easier, sure thing?

Soon, Zack faces sore losers, drinking problems, and his own screw-ups with girls. Zack discovers the hard way that sometimes secrets have tragic and far-reaching consequences. He ultimately learns that there are some things that can never be undone, no matter how much he may want it.
