Sarah Butland Meets Kathy Reichs
On October 26th, 2008 I was fortunate enough to have famous author Kathy Reichs visit Moncton and was lucky enough not only to get to go to hear her talk but to have my picture taken immediately after she signed a copy of her book!
A friend I met there commented that I should be trading her book for mine as well as inviting all attendees to my reading/ book signings. I wouldn’t venture to do that at this time in my career but hope to hold a reading as well delivered as hers someday.
Not only did Kathy Reichs talk about her books (namely Bones to Ashes which is set in New Brunswick) she talked about her series Bones and her life. She told us of her unorthodox method of getting published and her dream to hit the big screen. All the while I was intrigued, honoured and jealous but trusting that some day I’d be as happy with my writing career as she is.
Bravo to Kathy Reichs and congrats on her new “grandnovel” written by daughter, Kerry Reichs, called The Best Day of Someone Else’s Life.

Yesterday I received the newest Stephen King book of short stories and am very excited to read it. The amazing part is, this was courtesy of his publishing company. Simon and Schuster is a generous company which publishes many outstanding authors including Stephen King.
His latest, Just After Sunset, promises to be another excellent book but the bestselling author and I can’t wait to have a moment to sink into my guilty pleasure. It’s such an inspiration to see that such simplicity, such mastery of words, sentences and distorted stories to tell make becoming a famous writer a feasible tale.
Rejections, lonely book signings and the struggles to find the time to write are common issues for a writer and make it difficult to keep going sometimes but others have done it and so can I.
Thanks Stephen King and Simon and Schuster!

I received the first copy of my newest book Brain Tales – Volume One today and know it will be a hit with young adult readers and more.
A collection of short stories ranging from life to death, love to hate and all the cliche’s in between but stories that make you question and read again and again. Brain Tales – Volume One is only the beginning of so many things and a launch pad for things to come.
I can’t wait to get this out to the public and will let you know when it is available for purchase.
