Here's another possibility for your COVID-19 reading, or to give to someone: Shadow Song. It's an historical novel, set in 1830s Upper Canada, rife with revenge... in the backwoods--a magic realism immersion. Great reviews. Available in trade paperback and ebook directly from me, or audiobook from Amazon, Audible and iTunes. Here's the link to my website: https://fiveriverspublishing.com/?page_id=335 See more

Writers' Craft 6: Tense

For a limited time, my SF novel Caliban is free at Kobo. Michael R. Fletcher, author of Beyond Redemption, said about Caliban: Rich with characters and character, Caliban marries gorgeous prose and emotional punch.

I've heard some people complain about Amazon's ridiculous pricing of trade paperbacks, particularly my trade paperbacks. There's a long and frustrating story ab...out Amazon's predatory practices when it comes to small presses and indie authors, basically bullying tactics to get people to use their own printing and distribution services. What that means is my novel, The Rose Guardian, which should be listed for $21.99, instead is listed as only available through a third party seller for a ridiculous $40.76. However, if you were to go to Abe Books, you can find a new copy for $26.13US. Or you can purchase directly from Five Rivers. Here's the link for Abe Books:

Have spent a delicious afternoon lost in research and outlining for my next novel, Hekja's Lament, which is an historical novel set in L'anse aux Meadows around... 980. In the meantime, you should read my latest novel, The Rose Guardian, which is the story of a woman dealing with the death of her mother, and all the bitter baggage around that. It's received mostly 5-star reader reviews. If you purchase directly from me, for the minimal fee of $5.00, I can have the specially printed book digitally signed with a message of your choice. Or you can purchase an EPUB through the secure site. Sure, I have to charge you shipping on the print book, but you'll be supporting an indie author, rather than a soulless, giant chain. https://fiveriverspublishing.com/?page_id=4137

With 5-star ratings, The Rose Guardian could be your weekend read. Available in trade paperback and ebook through Five Rivers Publishing's website. Or, if you prefer downloading your ebooks through Google, here's the link: https://play.google.com//Lorina_Stephens_The_Rose_Guardian
