NeWest Press is hosting a trio of mystery authors, A.J. Devlin (Cobra Clutch, Rolling Thunder), Seamus Heffernan (Ten Grand, Napalm Hearts), and J.G. Toewes (Give Out Creek, Lucky Jack Road) for an online reading!
As we are all spending a lot of time at home in varying degrees of isolation, I thought it'd be fun to do a Facebook Live chat with folks to field any and all questions you might have about writing and/or publishing, e.g. how to get started on your project, how to structure your story, how to pitch to publishers, etc. And if you have questions you'd like answered but can't make it next Tuesday, send 'em along and we'll answer them for you for you to check out later.
So if you're home crawling the walls and thinking about finally starting That Story you always wanted to write, this is for you. (Or maybe you just want to stop by and heckle. That's cool, too. We're all in this together, team.)

Join me at C3: Culture, Coffee & Cookies at The Reach Gallery (Abbotsford, BC) on Wednesday December 4. I will be discussing my novels, running for office, my new family and so much more.
Join me for a day of networking and great workshops. I will be on a panel from 3:00-4:30pm with local authors A.J. Devlin and W.L. Hawkin.
Plotting Panel (3:00-4:30pm)
Three local authors discuss plotting particulars, and the individual processes they use when developing their novels. Award-winning author A.J. Devlin (Cobra Clutch), critically-acclaimed author Seamus Heffernan (The Thaddeus Grayle Series), and edgy, urban fantasy writer W.L. Hawkin (The Hollystone Mysteries) share secrets and tips for crafting everything from hard core crime fiction to comedy to fantasy thrillers. Followed with a Q&A. All ages.
Check out my latest speaking gig on the Authors on the Air Podcast with Pam Stack. She was kind enough to really plug the heck out of the reading/Q&A for TEN GRAND, plus I reveal a few never before heard story threads. Give it a listen and a like, and heck, check out Facebook for more Podcasts.
TEN GRAND is the follow-up to last year's best-selling "Napalm Hearts" and features the return of private detective Thaddeus Grayle, working a new case in London's underworld while desperately trying to escape a terrible threat on his life.
Join us at the famous Kariton Art Gallery, just off Mill Lake in the heart of Abbotsford, for your chance to pick up a copy of the book, get it signed and ask the author any and all questions you might have about crime fiction or writing in general. Light refreshments will be available.
Copies will be available to purchase: $12 each, two for $20. CASH ONLY PLEASE.
Many thanks to the Abbotsford Arts Council and UFV Alumni Association for sponsoring this event.
On June 18th, TEN GRAND, the second Thaddeus Grayle novel, officially arrives.

We are going to celebrate with a little contest!
On June 18th, TELL THE WORLD ABOUT THIS BOOK!
Tag me (Facebook - @seamusheffernanauthor ; Instagram @sgheffernan) in whatever social media you're using to blow up the book. I'll take all those folks and my publisher will pick one at random. We'll then send the winner an autographed copy of TEN GRAND with a personalized message from me inside.
Share the Amazon link, my website link (seamusheffernan.com), post pics of you with the book/your Kindle, whatever you want. Please help spread the word!
I have been nominated by the Abbotsford Arts Council for an Arty in the category of “Literary Arts” for my novel, NAPALM HEARTS. Hope you can join us for what promises to be a great night—tickets can be bought here.
