Back when I introduced
this Featured
Author of the Month thing to you all, I mentioned that part of the
idea grew out of the ‘Author of the Day’
Facebook promotion I’d done back in August of 2015. I had a lot of fun doing
that daily promotion and meeting tons of indie authors. Fast forward a couple
years and there are some of those indies that I’m still in weekly, if not
daily, contact with. I’ve read multiple books from many (most?) of them and
still follow all of them on social media as best I can to keep up with their
work, writing life, and releases.
One of the authors I
met during that summer was a new indie author who (at the time) was preparing for
the launch and release of her debut novel. She was new to the game and as
nervous, scared and excited as I imagine anyone is when their first book baby
is about to be shared with the world. In the more than two years since then,
she’s gone on to write the second book in her series and is now preparing to
release the third book – don’t worry, I’ll be telling you all about the books
this month.
Who is it, you ask? Well…
Allow me to introduce or re-introduce to you
all
Rebekah Raymond!
By day Rebekah Raymond is simply Becca--Medical Claims Adjudicator,
Academic Strategist, wife and mother of two. By night, she is Rebekah Raymond,
Calgary writer of thriller/horror, romance, science fiction and fantasy.
Best known for her thriller The
Life’s series and her
“half-baked truths” (read aloud at the local Open Mic Night), Raymond has a
reputation of being overly kind and generous with sharing whatever knowledge
and connections she has with other Indies.
Raymond is a proficient writer, working at her writing for hours
nightly. She attributes her wildly disconnected plots and vivid characters to
automatic and dissociative writing.
She is a member of NaNoWriMo
and relies on the support of other excellent writers from the Alexandra Writers’ Centre Society.
Rebekah is one of the authors I remain in pretty consistent contact with
and though she doesn’t write romance, her The
Life’s series books have always had just the right touch of romance to
thoroughly engage me. The thrillers are ones that I’ve devoured happily and
have even given to friends and family members as gifts. I’m truly looking forward to a month of
telling you all about Rebekah Raymond and of sharing her books and other works
with you.
And I may have come up with a couple new ideas of ways to share all of
this with you too?!? Stay tuned… hopefully Rebekah agrees to help me out! LOL!
