Ann B. Cantrell's Blog

Today would have been my father’s 85th birthday if he had not died of lung cancer at the young age of 66. Smoking kills! Remembering him keeps him alive, and my readers keep me going. I recently received two fabulous posts, from Kathy and Richard. (Read them on the page titled “Legacy of Revenge.”) Kathy got me started writing again after the holidays and Richard’s words inspire me to continue.

I am thankful for the short time I had with my daddy and for my fantastic readers. I am truly blessed.

Happy Fall Y’all! I hope you notice that I updated/revised the website to flow better and even figured out how to do my Pay Pal button for purchasing “Legacy of Revenge” without calling for help. Heaven forbid I would get too technically smart!

I will be selling “Legacy of Time” and “Legacy of Revenge” at the following craft shows: November 18-19, 2011 in Baton Rouge at the Braodmoor High School Craft Fair; December 10, 2011 at St Rita School in Harahan, and December 17, 2011 at the Marrero Academy Holiday Craft Show.

“Legacy of Revenge” is receiving rave reviews from my readers. There is only a limited number of books available. Get yours before they are sold out.

I am still doing research for book three, “Legacy of War,” and appreciate any input from readers for the final book of the trilogy. A lot of action is planned for this last book revolving around Colette Boudreaux Alexander and her family–from battle scenes, family conflicts, prisoner-of-war camps, and of course, romance/sex scenes–something for every reader.

Stayed tuned for more updates and Happy Holidays!

I have had a rough summer with heart issues, but getting better every day. I apologize for the problem with ordering and paying with Pay Pal for the new book. I need to contact the company for help adjusting this issue. Copies of both books will be sold at the Luling Alligator Festival on September 23, 24, and 25, 2011. If I survive those long days!! I will be at the Gretna Heritage Festival on October 7, 8, and 9, 2011, and ending October at Laurel Valley Fall Festival on Sunday, October 16, 2011. Stop by and see me even if you already have a book and say hello.

“Legacy of Revenge,” book two of my trilogy, has arrived at my home. Unfortunately, I won’t be there until August 1st. However, beat the rush, get your order to me and I will mail you a copy of the limited edition ASAP. I guarantee a good read. See odering page for details. I will post when the ebook version is available.

Have reviewed Legacy of Revenge until my eyeballs got fuzzy. Hopefully, I have tied up the loose ends, dotted all of the I’s, and crossed all the T’s. The manuscript has been sent to the printer and it is in production as I type this message. Once I receive the printed copies, I will upload the ebook to Amazon and Smashwords for purchase.

On an exciting note, I just received my first advanced payment for a copy from my adorable, loving cousin, Wayne. One down and 299 more to sell.

Book two of the trilogy is being formatted as I write. Hopefully, it will get to the printer and be available in late August. I will be selling books in Morgan City during the Shrimp and Petroleum Festival, Labor day weekend. Will post when I can accept mail orders. Hoping to get many requests from my readers. Later, Ann

Just wrote “The End” on my writing tablet. Now the hard part begins. Have to type up remaning pages, edit everything, design a cover, and once all edits are done, fomatting the manuscript. This sequel to Legacy of Time will be followed by Legacy of War, completing Colette’s story. Will keep my friends and readers posted and hopefully will have books to sell by summer’s end.
