I am proud and incredibly grateful to announce I signed a traditional publishing contract in the fall with Orange Hat Publishing (imprint TEN16 Press) for my full-length women's fiction — FINDING SUTTON'S CHOICE.
Release date TBD (May 2025), but I'm so excited about the next steps in my writing journey.
For decades, I've made a career of writing nonfiction for newspapers, magazines, nonprofits, and businesses. BUT I was always that little girl with a dog-eared novel in her hands. Knowing my fiction will finally be on a bookshelf is so humbling.
That my first novel is set in my beloved #lakesideohio makes this announcement all the sweeter. More information about the resort setting may be found at lakesideohio.com.
Thank you, Editor Michael Braun for taking a chance on me. This also would not have been possible without the support of so many family and friends, my first (2nd? 32nd? 132nd?) readers throughout this process. A special "thanks" to #WFWA writing buddy and soon to be debut author, Susan Poole, who pushed me to submit my manuscript. This post would be far in the future if it weren't for you!
More details coming soon. Keep an eye on www.powerofpages.com. A new author page is also under construction at www.brendahaas.com.
