Ratha's Courage - Hope Burns Brighter
General | Posted 18 years agoDear patient and devoted Ratha fans,
I am pleased to announce that Ratha's Courage will be released, both as an E-book and a physically published book. I got some projected dates from my agent, Richard Curtis, in an email this morning.
Courage will be available for download on https://www.fictionwise.com and other retail sites by the end of the year. The print edition is scheduled to appear by or before February. Amazon and other sites will be carrying both versions. I will post more details as I get them.
Viking-Penguin decided to cancel their hardcover and apparently didn't tell Amazon. They also did not respond to my queries about what was happening with the book. The only notification I got was a series of short emails. For that reason, my agent and I decided to move the book to another publisher.
It has taken a bit of time to make all the arrangements, but things are sufficiently in place so that I can now make this announcement.
This has been a difficult interval for me, as you can probably imagine. Instead of crawling into a black hole after I got the cancellation email, I decided to continue publicizing the reprints and working with Richard Curtis to get Courage published. I was determined, and still am, to make sure that everyone who wants a copy of Ratha's Courage can get one.
Firebird Books is still handling the reprints and they have plenty in their warehouse. E-Reads will be doing a promotion that will launch Courage. I know it was hard to wait, but E-Reads has acted very rapidly to get everything set up.
I deeply appreciate your loyalty, patience and understanding during this time.
Because of you, hope burns brighter, both for me and the Named.
May you get your heart's desire and find delight.
Clare

Signing books in Borders in Turlock
General | Posted 18 years agoHi folks,
This is an update to the book signing for Ratha and Thistle-chaser and Ratha's Challenge. The event has been shifted from 10/23 to 11/3/07 in order for Borders to do some advertising, get more books in and shift to a Saturday, since the store gets more traffic on weekends.
All of which is good.
It also gives me more time to get the word out over the Internet.
If you are in Northern California, please come see me. I love meeting fans and folks who are just curious about Ratha.
(original announcement, containing directions)
On the 23 of this month (Oct.) I will be in Borders' Turlock, CA store to autograph books and talk to readers. The event will be from 12 noon to 4PM, though I may stay later. I will be bringing a DVD of the Ratha's Creature Storybreak episode and will have it available for viewing.
Turlock is located in the Central Valley in Northern California. It is south of Modesto on Highway 99. People in the Bay Area can take 580 east.
The Borders store is located on Monte Vista Ave at the MonteVista Crossings shopping center just off 99.
If you are coming, and/or need directions, please email me at ratha13@earthlink.net.
Kids encouraged.
Suggestions for other store visits also encouraged
About Ratha's Courage: I will soon be making an announcement about what has and is going to happen with the book. All I can say now is that it will be available soon.
Please be patient and I will give details when I can. Thanks.
