Starting in March, I will finally have audio books available on over 20 platforms. The first two books to be released are ‘Sinister’ and ‘Zerah Prophecy’. More will follow. I’m super excited to have teamed up with Findaway Voices to start this journey with. By the end of 2020 I’m hoping to have all my books on audio. Looking forward to a very productive year.

I’m excited to announce the first book in the Nine Kingdoms series has been released. The ebook version is now available on Amazon. The paperback is soon to follow.

I’m super excited to have once again teamed up the The Books Machine in creating a brand new book trailer for my novel Sinister. Check it out!!!

I’m very excited about my new fantasy series: Nine Kingdoms, with the first book releasing at the end of this year. With the extent of what I’ve written so far the first two initial books have now been broken into four due to their length. I’ve had to create new titles and book blurbs (which I hate writing), but it gives me the opportunity to expand the series further than I thought possible. I’m not sure how many books there will be as I let the characters drive the story lines and in this particular case there are several points of view telling their part of the epic tale, branching it off into segments which will all tie in together towards the end. It’s quite a challenge that is both fun and exhausting.

I also plan to do something a little different with this series than I have with my other ones. Nine Kingdoms will have it’s own logo and exclusive merchandise depicting each kingdom as well as specific designs for various groups throughout the series. It’ll be quite the undertaking, but one I’m thrilled to dive into.

So, stay tuned for further updates on this epic project and my frazzled nerves.

I’ve created a store on Teespring: Ann Bakshis Author. Here you can purchase a small selection of posters of my book covers as well as mugs, totes, and phone cases with my author logo. Depending upon the success of the posters, I’ll be adding the other book covers at a later date.

Happy shopping!!

I’ve been very busy the last several months with writing two new series: Relic Hunter and Nine Kingdoms. Both are fantasy, but Relic Hunter has some scifi thrown into the mix. I’m not following my traditional way of creation at the moment since I’ve decided to do book covers last instead of in the middle of editing. Also, I’m stuck on what I want the covers to look like, entail, and how the book blurb on the back should read. I think that’s the hardest part of the entire book creation experience: writing that damn blurb! I struggle with that more than anything. The Arliss will be available in a few weeks and the first book in the Relic Hunter series will be published this fall.

Here’s to plugging away at what I love!!
