Hey everyone, I’m incredibly excited to share that my debut thriller, The Night Driver, is officially live and available on Amazon US today! As a community, we all know how much sweat, late nights, and formatting checks go into bringing a book across the finish line. I am incredibly grateful for the support, advice, and energy of the Book Launch Network here on Skool. A massive thank you to everyone in the Book Launch Network for the incredible encouragement and resources leading up to today. To celebrate launch day, the clean US link is officially up and running: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H1QSRG6T If you love gritty, period neo-noir, or atmospheric thrillers, this one takes you back to the cold, damp winter of New York City in 1979. Cheers, Damien Suriel

The newsletter for the Book Launch Network Test Run will go out in the morning. If we get enough participation we will make this a major part of the community going forward. It only works if everyone participates so we will see how it goes. If you are interested in this program succeeding then I encourage you to open that newsletter email and support one or more of the authors by pre-ordering their book and then leaving a rating/review once you have read their book. Alright lets go!

From Kathy: Kathy L. Murphy I paint my story so others can visualize their own story in these portals of my imagination and curiosity of the world I create, beauty! What is your favorite type of art to create? Mixed Media paintings. Where do you find inspiration? ========================= For me everything I have created in art has to do with a lifelong love for being out in nature and escaping into the wonderful world of literature around the globe. I was highly influenced by my teachers and librarians who recognized that I had a preposterous for the arts which including dancing, starring in school productions, creating backdrops for school plays, to contests of drawing regarding conservation of our natural resources in saving our planet. Art saved me as in was very shy, no more What would you do with $25,000? =========================== I would have the funds to continue to tell my story and journey in this thing we call life. Everyone has an artist in them but often times they are told they do not. Art is expression and I want to travel the world to tell my story and demonstrate anyone can create art. I have taught classes in expression, first to get them use to the main medium I use Alcohol Inks, once I see their style and direction I introduce ways to showcase their own unique voice and style.
