Love letters

Hi, Brian.
My dream has finally come true. My novel, When Hearts Collide, a medical romance is being published by Soul Mate Publishing. It will be released in November of this year (in a couple weeks!) as an ebook and a few months later in print.

It will be available here from soulmatepublishing.com and through Amazon and Barnes and Nobel. And yes, "Kendra James" is me.

Kendra can be reached at kendrajames@rogers.com. Her website, www.kendrajames.net is up and running, too. Please do not confuse Kendra with the porn star of the same name. I cannot attest to the other Kendra's writing skills, and I won't even go there about comparing any physical attributes.

Thank you for all the help and support over the years.

Hi Brian!
Just emailing you to let you know about the latest development in my efforts to get my first book published. I've received a request from Andrea Seto at the Beverley Slopen agency to see my entire manuscript. They liked what they read of my first five chapters and I owe you a lot of the credit for that. It wasn't until after I'd started taking your workshops that my writing really started improving. Thanks for all your help :) I'll keep you updated!

Hi Brian,
Just wanted you to know that with your encouragement I submitted a short memoir to Canadian Stories. It was one I began during your creative writing class in Georgetown. I received word from the editor today that it will be published in either the December or February issue. How fun!
Cheers,
Val Cureton

Hi Brian,
just wanted to let you know that I have another item published. It's in this month's issue of Mississauga Life Magazine.
It's called "Lest we Forget," and it's a tribute to our veterans in honour of Remembrance Day. I hope you enjoy reading it. Looking forward to your course in January.

Hi Brian,
It's small but it's a start. The Citizen, a rural newspaper in Huron County, is publishing three articles (Remembrance Day feature) that I wrote on members of my family who are serving in the Canadian military.

Your workshops/classes have been an excellent resource for me as I continue to learn about the writing world. Thank you!

Looking forward to seeing you on November 26th in Kitchener (for How to Make Yourself Write).
Warmly,
Shari Simpson

Hi Brian,
Just wanted to let you know that I have a (self-published) short story collection up on Amazon.com and one of the stories originated in your class. You suggested a writing exercise and I came up with a short story called "The Fortune Teller." I took it home, tinkered with it, and it eventually ended up in Sex, Death & Mind Control for fun and profit. (See here.)
Thanks for the inspiration. It worked out very well.
All the best!
