Author Rusty Blackwood’s June Newsletter 2019…

Greetings everyone, welcome to my end of month Newsletter, and to Summer!

The time is flying; can hardly believe we are into summer, and the hot, hazy days are here. This month has been another busy one for me regarding my work. Always something needing done, as well as trying to work on Return to Autumn, my follow-up novel to The Perils of Autumn, published by Tellwell Talent and it is slowly coming along. A few chapters are now completed, and the story continues to grow. I really must admit that this 2-part series is my favourite thus far. I believe all writers have their favourite stories and characters they have created. I know I do, and I have simply fallen in love with Cyril Landon, and have enjoyed bringing him and nurse Autumn Leeves together in the way that I have. I love horses, maybe that has a lot to do with why it has become my favourite, the exciting world of the thoroughbred as well as the working hunter, and all that goes on at a working stable – add to this the trials and tribulations that occur within it all.

I took The Perils of Autumn on its first Virtual Blog Tour, sponsored by Enticing Journey Book Promotions, and it was a phenomenal experience. Four days, beginning June 10th through to the 14th with different Blogs featuring The Perils of Autumn each day. I was so pleased to see the response to this 5-star romantic fiction drama, and I look forward to taking ‘Autumn’ on a larger Blog Tour this fall.

A huge shout-out of thanks to Cat Lyon Media & Literary Services for all her wonderful help, guidance, and support!

In mid-March of this year I entered The Perils of Autumn into the annual International Book Awards, held out of Los Angeles, CA and I am most pleased to announce that out of 2,000 entries, The Perils of Autumn was chosen along with 5 other entries, as FINALIST! I could barely believe my novel had won such a prestigious placing. Take this link & scroll down to ‘Romance’ : http://www.internationalbookawards.com/2019awardannouncement.html

June 15th found ‘Autumn’ and I at Fairview Mall Chapters in St. Catharines. This was the 3rd leg in the official Niagara Launch/Signing Tour for the novel. It’s always nice seeing familiar faces and meeting new and interesting readers. Much thanks to both Mary Ann Carpenter and Marg Stilson, two wonderful supporters of my work, for coming by my table to spend some time and lend their support. I so appreciate your friendship, ladies! For photographic coverage of the signing, take this provided link: https://www.facebook.com/pg/writerrusty/photos/?tab=album&album_id=10157586313702033

As summer is underway and school is officially dismissed until September, do watch for excited children at play. Drive both carefully and cautiously when out and about.

As always, I encourage you to support your local authors, as well as all your local talent in the Arts!

See you next month. Cheers!

Rusty B
