What to look forward to in 2012

Happy New Year.
2011 was an "interesting" year with two of my publishers folding, however that encouraged me to create an eBook presence and I now have seven titles out that way. What will 2012 hold?
My eighth eBook and second novel for adults, The Final Alchemy, will be uploaded in January, followed by The Heretic's Secret Trilogy as a series of novellas over the course of the year. Stay tuned.
Three traditionally published titles this year, Victorio's War, the third Desert Legends novel, in the spring; Failed Hope: The Story of the Lost Peace, the companion non-fiction title to Desperate Glory and Bitter Ashes is scheduled for August; and Lost Cause, a novel set largely in Spain in 1938 is planned for the fall.
What else? Who knows, but I am looking into the possibility of a graphic novel series. Check back for updates and get more details on the website.
If you missed the Fall Tour, I'll be back in southern Ontario in May 2012. I am currently available for school visits on May 7 to 9 and 14 to 18. Check out the May Tour post.
My website is now updated, to include a section offering hard copies of my out-of-print titles for sale direct from me. This means they can be signed and personalized—the perfect Christmas or Birthday gift.
Titles available are:Crusade: The Heretic's Secret Book IGrail: The Heretic's Secret Book IIWhere Soldiers LieGermaniaAnd in the MorningLost in SpainDancing Elephants and Floating Continents: The Story of Canada Beneath Your Feet.
Ghost Mountains and Vanished Oceans: North America from Birth to Middle Age reached the dizzy heights of #2 on Amazon's Kindle bestseller list of Geology books. Check it out on Amazon (US, UK, Germany and France) and Smashwords (all other formats [Nook, iPad, etc.]). As always there is a free sample.
Ghost Moon, the sequel to Written in Blood is now available. Here's what Kirkus Reviews says: "Action fans will thrill to the gunplay and other dangers. James' conflicting feelings about his archetypically dangerous friend-and also a telling conversation with an old Mexican survivor of the Alamo about the difference between legend and reality-introduce thought provoking elements. A tale of the Old West with a sturdy historical base and nary a dull moment."Check out the Ghost Moon cover, too, it's one of my photographs.
It is now possible to get a personalized inscription and signature for a Kindle book. If you have one of my titles, or are thinking of buying one, check it out here. Isn't technology cool?
Where Soldiers Lie is selling well. Why not pick up a sample for free or the entire book for only 99c on Smashwords or Amazon.com. Of course, the danger is you'll become addicted and have to pick up all my other titles, but what's life without a little danger.
