Complete

Good morning, lovely readers,

I hope your weekend has started out well.

I can officially tell you that the first draft of book 4 is complete.
Finished it early this morning. Now, it's on to edits and book 5.
I should have them finished by the new year and just in time for those of you who receive Kindles and other ereaders from Santa. ;) And of course, for those of you who love the traditional, the paperback will also be available.

May your day be filled with love, laughter and joy.

Kathy :)

Something different

I was reading a lovely Christmas story the other night and there were a few sentences that really resonated with me and I thought I'd share them with you. If you get a chance, check out the beautiful story of Smudge.

'Without words, thoughts disappear and the whole world would have to begin each day with no lesson learned.'

How wonderful is that? That is a quote I don't think I'll soon forget.

Have a wonderful evening! :)

Book 4 Updates

Hello my friends,

I hope you're all doing well and feeling fine.
I cannot believe it's December already. I've been completely focused on finishing the next book that I was barely aware of November.

Book 4 - Max Hamby and the Faeryn Cross - is getting there.
We're up to chapter 27 and it's possible this one might have 30 chapters, but we'll see.

Thank you to all my readers. I'm so happy to be able to share my stories with you.

The holidays are almost upon us and if you love books or know someone who does, come take a chance on an indie author, stop on by my Amazon author page and have a look at the series. If you have Kindle Unlimited, the books are free. Reviews are always appreciated.

Max Hamby review

Good Morning friends,

I hope you're all doing well and feeling fine.

Have started the day on a fantastic note. The children's book site, The Jed Says has reviewed Max Hamby and the Blood Diamond - Book 1. http://thejedsays.com/…/pr…/max-hamby...

I am over the moon. On top of that, the next book is moving along great. Working on chapter 22 in the first draft of book 4, Max Hamby and the Faeryn Cross.

You can also follow The Jed Says here on FB: https://www.facebook.com/groups/child...

And you can find all three books in the series on my author page: http://www.amazon.com/Kathy-Cyr/e/B00...

Have a fantastic day!!

Book 4 Updates

Hello my friends.

I hope you're all doing well and feeling fine.

Just a quick update on book 4.
The first draft of 4 is moving along well. A bit slower in the past week, but still pretty good. I'm on chapter 16. Not sure how many chapters in this one, because there has been some unexpected, yet exciting, turn of events. I'm letting the story take me where it wants to go and it's really good.

Don't forget...books 1 through 3 are available on Amazon as ebooks and paperback.

You can find them all on my author page: http://www.amazon.com/Kathy-Cyr/e/B00NR8SP90

Have a wonderful night, my friends. May it be filled with peace, love, laughter and safety.

Kathy :)

Updates & Cover Reveal

Hello, my friends.

I know it's been a while since my last update, but I've been consumed with editing, descriptions, cover, etc.

Below are the final cover for books 1 through 3. Did some touch ups to the book 1 text, as well. All seven books will have similar designs/feel.

I can officially say that book 2 and 3 will be up on Amazon and Createspace on October 23rd. It's very exciting, so be on the look out.

And with the publication of books 2 and 3, book 1 will be free for a limited time. Download it, tell your friends and family, share links, etc!
It's always appreciated. I'll post all links here when they're ready.
For now, I leave you with the new covers. :)

Good Morning

Good Morning!

It looks like the book delays will be alot smaller than expected.
Book 2 needs a small fix in one chapter and book 3 is always finished.
The book blurbs need to be written, then the covers revealed.

A few days ago, I had a chance to (partially) outline book 4 of the Max Hamby series, plus jot down notes for 5, 6 and 7.

I hope you all are doing well and feeling fine. May the day/week be good to you.

K. :)

Fantastic Beasts & J.K. Rowling

Filming has begin, my friends. I am quite excited to see how it turns out. It's as close to Harry Potter as I can get these days. I'll take it. J.K. is writing the screenplay. I think that's pretty cool.
I, instantly, fell in love with HP. The books, the movies, everything. What about you? Do you miss HP? Are you excited for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3183660/
The adventures of writer Newt Scamander in New York's secret community of witches and wizards seventy years before Harry Potter reads his book in school.

http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Fantastic_Beasts_and_Where_to_Find_Them_%28film_trilogy%29
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is an upcoming trilogy of films based on Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them , one of the companion books to J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series.[5] Rowling will make her screen writing debut with this film.[6] David Heyman, who produced the Harry Potter films, will be returning as producer for Fantastic Beasts.[2]

J.K. Rowling has said that the film will start in New York, around 1920, seventy years before the Harry Potter series, and will feature Newton Scamander as a main character. It is unclear whether the rest of the film will be set in New York.[5] Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them tells us that Scamander had been travelling the world in research of magical creatures since 1918, culminating with the publication of his masterpiece in 1927.
