New Books for 2013
I have some new publications planned for this year which I'd like to let people know about.
Right now I'm working on CHANGER'S TURF the fifth book in the Kit Melbourne series. It's going fairly well. My plan is for it to hit the shelves by September 1, but of course if I can get it out earlier, I will.
To help keep me motivated for the September 1 release date, I'm going to be giving away the other Kit Melbourne books in a series of goodreads giveaways. The first one, for two copies of SEEING THINGS, will begin March 21st if it is approved by the goodreads staff. I will follow that with a giveaway for TREEMAKER, and then DAYRUNNER and FAERIE KILLER. After that I may give away boxed sets.
The other exciting news is that I'm going to publish a new urban fantasy series this year, starting with the first book ALTERNATE SUSAN. The novel itself is finished and has had editing, so it will just need a few rounds of proofreading once I get some hard copies. Right now I'm working on the cover art. You'll be able to comment on the prototypes at www.catherinecheek.com or www.katercheek.com after Easter when I have something ready.

Alternate Susan
ALTERNATE SUSAN the first book in a new urban fantasy series was born yesterday on Createspace and Kindle. Smashwords version coming soon.
This book takes place in an alternate version of Tempe, Arizona. I wrote it in part because I wanted an urban fantasy that had no vampires, no werewolves, no fallen angels, no Irish fairies, and did I mention no vampires? It's fast paced and has a lot of family drama, with my own special sense of humor intermixed throughout.
Please go and check it out.

Alternate (Susan) Cover
I just got a new cover for Alternate Susan, and I'm working with the artist to do a new cover for Mulberry Wands. It's not that I don't like my old covers, it's just that they don't market as well as I'd like for urban fantasy. I was lucky enough to find an artist whose work is great (and she's great to work with!) So when Uncle Sam gave me some of my taxes back, I decided this would be a good thing to spend it on.
My goal for 2016 was to not write any new books. This is an odd goal for a writer, but I realized that I didn't have enough time to write a novel and work on publishing novels at the same time. I have novels that have been languishing on my hard drive, waiting to be shared with the world, and that just won't do. I wrote these novels to share them with the world, not to hide them away. So the year of the monkey is my year of putting my energy into the publishing side of the writer's life.
If you really like the old covers of Alternate Susan and Mulberry Wands, you should buy copies ASAP because the covers will soon change. If you prefer the new covers, you're in luck. I intend to publish a standalone YA novel this year, a middle grade book, an omnibus of the Kit Melbourne novels 4-6, and after that I hope to revise and publish The Heat Stealer, the third Alternate Susan book.
Thanks for everyone joining me in my publishing adventure. Positive responses from readers really makes all this effort seem worth it.
