Whoops! Look like I missed a post or two, but I'm back with news. I will be hosting an all day Facebook Event on Thursday, September 10th with the High Society Book Club to talk about my detective techno-thriller series, WHISPs.

I'd love to tell you all the details, unfortunately, I'm not sure what they are. In any event, if you'd like to join me, please sign up to be a member of the High Society Book Club group on Facebook before September 10th, as your membership in the group must be approved. Hope to "see" you there!

Actualización Fantástica para WHISPs

Exciting news! The WHISPs trilogy is going to be translated into Spanish! This is my first novel translation and I am absolutely thrilled with Scarsdale Publishing's decision. I'll keep you updated. For now, here's a sneak peek.

Susurros de un Asesino
WHISPS
Libro Uno
 
En cada sombra, una sombra de muerte...
"Nosotros, el jurado, declaramos culpable a la acusada, Rachel Iris Chester." Con esas  palabras, la vida de Sylvia Harbinger como detective del departamento de policía de Nueva York ha terminado.
Sylvia ha terminado con asesinos en serie, ha terminado con terapia, y ha terminado con una ciudad de Nueva York que ahora a sido plagada de WHISPs—las sombras escalofriantes y grises de sus pesadillas. Ella y su esposo Ben tienen un trato. Ella se retira y ambos se mudan a Montana para escapar del fenómeno WHISP. Es la única manera de salvar su matrimonio después del caso Chester, aunque deje atrás a su hijo Lincoln que fue afectado por WHISP.

Luego suena el teléfono. Chester está en la cárcel, pero ha habido un asesinato imitador, y Sylvia no puede dejar ir el caso. Si ella se perdió algo la primera vez, esta sangre nueva está en sus manos. Ben le da un mes para trabajar en el caso, pero ¿puede su matrimonio sobrevivir tanto tiempo? Y mientras Sylvia investiga más profundo la fuente de su fobia, ¿cuánto tiempo sobrevivirá su cordura?

Draft II Away!

Honestly, I'd like this post to be a bit longer discussion on writing what you want versus writing what you've been contracted to write, but for reasons this is just an announcement. This morning I sent the 1st draft of my second contracted book to my publisher! Two down, one to go! Woohoo! Wish me luck on book #3!

SO, big news post NaNoWriMo is that the publication date for my three book deal may be moving up to spring 2019! This means that after the holiday craziness - still haven't put up our Christmas tree or finished Christmas cards or finished Christmas shopping - I get to finish fleshing out WHISPs II and get that off to the publisher by February 1st, then start on the first draft of book three. No rest for the weary, but deadlines can be great for productivity! May not get in a post on the 24th, so Happy Holidays! See you in 2019!

Okay, so a while ago I hinted that I was awaiting some big news. Here it is: I've signed a 3-book deal with Scarsdale Publishing. I'm absolutely thrilled and will let you know when the first of the three is due out. Thanks to everyone who's been supporting me through these lean publication years.

Wish I had some news...

But if wishes were horses...also, no news is good news.

If you're not sure what I'm talking about, I was solicited for the entire manuscript of my 5-minutes-in-the-future detective thriller based on a Twitter pitch from #IWSGPit and subsequent outline. It was very exciting since this particular publisher doesn't accept unsolicited materials. I'm anxiously waiting to hear back. I'll let you know...

Finally, some happy news. Though it is not official on the website yet, Writers of the Future just informed me that my short story Ferris Wheel has received an honorable mention for the contest's 2nd Quarter 2018. I am super excited about this because I've experienced a bit of a WotF drought since my short story Alchemical Reminiscence of Death won an honorable mention back in 2015.

For those of you not familiar, the contest is actually the Writers and Illustrators of the Future Contest presented by L. Ron Hubbard. Politics aside, it is a wonderful free contest open to science fiction and fantasy short stories under 17,000 words. There are 4 quarters each year and you can enter each only once, but that's still 4 free entries a year! (Personally, I'm lucky to write 4 short stories a year). Also, not only do the first, second, and third prize winners receive cashy money, they are also invited to attend a complementary writing workshop in California taught by some huge name authors as well as a gala awards ceremony. Please note that this contest is only open to non-professional writers and you can only win once. Visit the website Rules Page for further clarification.

Anyways, just wanted to share. Woohoo!

    My name is Jen Haeger and I have a degree in Veterinary Medicine as well as a Master's in Forensic Science, so I decided to forget all that and write  novels. I used to read quite a bit as a youth, but was not introduced to truly spectacular writing until my husband showed me the works of Jim Butcher, Neil Gaiman, Philip Pullman, and others. We are both enormous dorks and enjoy Science Fiction, Fantasy, Board Games, and RPGs, but also try to get out backpacking every once in a while (much easier to do when we lived in New Zealand). Cheers!
