Winter and writing

Hello everyone. Mila generously allowed me to use her blog. I’m a writer of fantasy and science fiction, usually with some romance in it. I hope everyone had a great St Valentines Day. My wife gave me some after shave cream that is suppose to help retain youthful skin. I don’t know if that was a hint or not.
I live in Edmonton, Canada. We’re still in our winter season here, so that gives me more time to write. I’m not much for running, or even walking, around outside in the snow. Certainly lying in the sun is out. That just leaves writing and going to the bar. Since this is still morning I’m doing the writing bit.

I had an ebook released last December called Shadows and Sensations. Midnight Showcase published it and it contains four short stories. All of them deal with the paranormal, some with a bit of erotica. If you are interested I have attached the blurb below. On my website, wwww.jhwear.com, I have some excerpts as well.
Blurbs:
Princess of Time
Nobel Carter is an alcoholic, saved one night by a former lover. During his
recovery he falls for a mysterious woman, challenging him what he wants.
Cry at the Moon
An abandoned campground looked perfect for four college students to have
fun. But the campground is inhabited by a creature that has its own desires
awakened.
The Cat, the Wolf and the Spirit
Sherri enjoyed shifting into a panther to roam the forests, until a white
wolf appeared. As she fights for control, a new spirit exerts its power.
Fallen Angel
Carl finds out Halloween can be a perfect time to dress up and be yourself.

I have been doing some book signings recently. Talnut was put in print a last November (Samhain Publishing) and I have had some fun signing books. If you live near Edmonton my next signing is in St Albert Chapters on February 21. I’m also doing a signing March 14 in the Red Deer Chapters and on March 28 in Calgary (Chinook Mall Chapters). Please drop by and introduce yourself. A funny joke will be much appreciated.

Saying hello

Hi- Mila was gracious to allow me to add a post to her blog. My name is Jack Wear and I write under the name of JH Wear.

My stories involve usually science fiction/fantasy plus a lot of human interaction. Some may call that romance, but I try not to make it the main theme of the story, just one more complication for the main character(s).

What have I written that has been published? Well, I started writing a few years ago so I don't have a long list like Mila. But to summarize; Talnut is my first novel. A young man is trapped on another planet and seeks a way to Earth. He also falls in love with the local witchdoctors daughter. The book is available in bookstores or through Samhain Publishing.

Midnight Showcase has just released as an ebook, Shadows and Sensations. There are four short stories of the paranormal kind. Warning, they are a bit on the erotica side. MS is also going to publish Castle, a series of three books. This fantasy series will be available this summer.

All of the above can be looked at on my website www.jhwear.com

What else do I do besides shoveling snow off my driveway? Well I sell wine through my company, Kiwi Imports. I specialize in New Zealand wine. Lovely country. Great place to visit if you can survive the 18 hr plane flight.

I love photography. I don't have much time for it anymore but I will find time this year. I promised myself that last year too.

I like music, most kinds, and have a darn good stereo system that gets lots of use.

That's about all the space I'll take for now. But if you have any questions my email is jhwear@jhwear.com

I will now turn this back over to Mila for normal blogging.

Cheers, Jack
