2017 is here now and we authors are now being effected by the Vat taxes on books. So my prices have changed on a number of books. This has nothing to do with you or me, it has to do with Taxes and how they make a difference. So I did reduce some prices and raise others, so take a look. And I wanted to share a few things with you about my writing. I write multi genre works. In case you haven't noticed. I write thrillers, children's, westerns, contemporary romance. I'm starting a Stalker series this next year that I hope you'll check out. I enjoy writing them all, and I hope you'll enjoy them. I might have to move the release dates of a few this year, as I'm writing a bit slower now. Come on guys, and girls, I'm seventy, but please don't forget me. I'm still writing, just taking a little longer now. I feel like when an author writes so long, which I've been writing a long time, decades actually, that to keep from going sour or uninterested they have to try something new. I studied children's writing and graduated from the Children's Institute of Literature. So I dabble with children's stories. My series on Willy deals with a hard of hearing duck. I wrote that to make parents and children more aware that this can be a problem that if nicked in time will save children a lot of heartache. My mid grade short stories have a moral twist to them, uplifting and I hope beneficial to children and parents. I've also gone into teen and New Adult short stories of romance. So try some and see if you like them. I hope you enjoy the covers, but if there is some you don't like drop me a line at ritahestand@gmail.com and let me know. I love new covers and I love to experiment and see what you readers do like. This year I am putting out Christmas books Let It Snow. and Silver Bells and Santa Hats, along with Surprise Under the MIstletoe. and a children Christmas story, Nancy Mae and the Sad Christmas Tree. I hope you'll all enjoy it. Let it Snow was a hit, Silver Bells and Santa Hats was a hit. Nancy Mae and the Sad Christmas Tree was a hit. The little girl on the cover of Nancy Mae and the Sad Christmas Tree stole my heart and I named the girl after my mother. Also there are a lot of New Adult and Young Adult short stories that I truly hope you enjoy. If you're looking for a quick read and yet fulfilling romance, check them out. I'm adding a few children's stories too. I have fourteen books in the Brides of the West Collection, all stories stand alone so if you are only interested in certain ones, you won't miss something from another book. I'm enlarging my Dream Catcher series, and working on the Connor Series too. Guarding Red Riding Hood is on pre-order too. Afraid in the Dark is my first Stalker book. I'm writing it as we speak and I hope it send real chills down your back when you read it. There's already several books in this series to come. The Brides of the West, and Red River Valley Brides Series are complete now. I'm going to try to finish the Dream Catcher series this year, and get busy on the Stalker series, along with some New Adult stories and children's stories for you. So try them you might really like them. My books are growing over at Audible.com. I'll be adding more as time allows. And I hand pick the narrators. You'll find some really good work there and I hope you'll check them out.
