The Thin Veil #3 research trip to Ireland

Off to Ireland to research Book 3

Written by Jodi on March 25, 2013 in Blog

Tomorrow I’m heading home. Okay, so “home” is a bit of a stretch – the McIsaacs came to Canada from Ireland in the mid-1700s, so it’s been awhile. But I am headed to Ireland for a glorious ten-day research trip for the third book in the Thin Veil series. I’ve been wanting to make this trip for a long time, but what with two wee kids and a job and a husband...

Written by Jodi on March 06, 2013 in Blog

A new edition needs a new cover! I loved my old self-published cover, but I also adore this one. I think 47North did a great job with it. What do you think?...

The Stone of Destiny and the re-release of Through the Door

Written by Jodi on February 27, 2013 in Blog

It has been FOREVER since I’ve posted, but for good reason – I’ve been crazy busy writing the second book in the Thin Veil series, as well as doing more edits on Through the Door in preparation for the April 23 release of the 47North edition. Here’s a bit of a run-down of what’s been going on: Through the Door re-release Through the Door was given...

Signing with 47North/Amazon Publishing

Written by Jodi on October 18, 2012 in Blog

Exciting things are afoot! I’ve just signed a three-book deal with 47North, the fantasy/sci-fi/horror imprint of Amazon Publishing, for Through the Door and its two sequels. The deal has been in the works for a while; there was another interested party involved and the whole thing takes a lot of back and forth – especially since I don’t have an agent to do all the back and forth stuff...

Why I give my books away for free

Written by Jodi on October 05, 2012 in Blog

A couple of month ago I joined the ranks of self-publishers trying The Great KDP Select Experiment. This means that I agreed to publish the digital version of Through the Door exclusively with Amazon (which is why you haven’t been able to buy the book for Kobo or Nook) for 90 days. In return, I would be “allowed” to give Through the Door away for free for up to 5 days during that...

Written by Jodi on September 22, 2012 in Blog

It’s been FAR too long since I’ve posted, so I’m taking a break from trying to figure out how best to torture Cedar, Finn and Eden in the next installment of The Thin Veil … and will do a little daydreaming about who I think should play these characters if a movie version of the series is ever made. Cedar My first choice for Cedar would be Annie Wersching, the...

Moving provinces, radio interviews and Proust questionnaires

Written by Jodi on August 23, 2012 in Blog

It’s been an insane whirlwind in my house the past few weeks. We are moving from Vancouver to Calgary at the end of the month so my brain has been filled with changes of address and new schools and the logistics of moving companies and changing business jurisdictions. On top of that we’ve been getting together with a different set of friends or family every night to say our goodbyes...

Through the Door in the news

Written by Jodi on August 12, 2012 in Blog

It’s been a bit of a whirlwind since Through the Door went crazy during the free promotion at the end of July! I’m in the process of writing a blog post about how that all rolled out … but in the meantime here’s the first mainstream media article about the book! It’s a fuzzy scan but the online version is behind a subscription wall so it’s the best I could do....
