Dear readers of blogs (and hopefully of books), I would like to announce that my first novel, “Zeke’s Fate” is now available for sale.
Set in the year 1869, it is the story of Zeke Siegel, an American Civil War veteran who has struggled with amnesia for several years. He finds himself entangled in a world of confusion and danger as he comes home to his wife, who has been told he was killed in the war. She has begun to move on with her life after years of mourning him. A new man, Fate, who is a bounty hunter of war deserters, has come into her life. Learning of Zeke’s unclear and inconsistent past, he begins to suspect him of desertion, something even Zeke can’t be sure is true or not. Suspicion gives way to vengeance as Fate grows more and more determined to destroy Zeke for the crime he may have committed. In a struggle for answers, for understanding, and for life itself, Zeke is faced with a fate he cannot forget…
You may remember Zeke from this post made some time ago, and perhaps also from the post of the painting I did of Zeke. I wrote this novel after being inspired by the fabulous NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) challenge. If you haven’t heard about it, check it out here. It’s pretty amazing!
The novels are $10.00 each, plus shipping. Please contact me at indee.artist.jen88@hotmail.com. Thank you!

A Novel, this is fantastic. I never knew you wrote books…I guess I have not been following you “that” long yet. Nonetheless, while I am not “much” of a reader, your book sounds really interested. Plus, 10 dollars is a marvelous deal. If you don’t mind me asking….are you self publishing your book or going through a publisher ? Either one, how has your experience been ?

Hi Bre. Thanks so much! I’ve been an aspiring writer for years, but this is my first completed novel available for sale. I haven’t said too much about my writing on my blog as writing is somehow a bit of a personal journey for me. However, you can read up a bit on my characters in the “Cozy Red Lounge” category. 🙂 I am so happy to hear you’re interested in buying a copy of “Zeke’s Fate”. 🙂
I am self publishing this novel. I have been working with a fabulous printing company called 48hrbooks.com, and they’ve done a wonderful job on these for me. The experience has been great! I spent over two years editing, correcting and fixing this book up with the help of my mom, who has serious editing and grammar skills! It’s been an exciting and memorable journey, and while I’m thrilled it’s complete and the book is finished, I’ll miss the journey.
…Good thing I am working on another novel, or I’d really miss writing too much! Please email me if you’d like to purchase a copy of my novel. Thanks so much for the comments and the interest!
P.S. Your ditigal artwork is fabulous! I love the electric colors and textures. Great work! 🙂

Thanks for the fast shipping Jen. I totally enjoyed this book. It was a great story about Zeke. I’m sure the Civil War left a lot of battle scars on the men who fought it, as do all wars. I could not put it down. Read it cover to cover in one sitting. Looking forward to more of your writing.
