In my naivety I thought that publishing a novel was a reasonably straightforward process – write, edit, publish, done – but following my blog friend Sacha Black’s journey as she was writing her first fantasy book made me realise just how wrong I was.
And now, KEEPERS IS FINALLY HERE and I am so excited to read it!
Here’s the blurb…
Eden’s life is balanced… until her soul is bound to her enemy.
When her parents are murdered, the realm of Trutinor is threatened. Then a mysterious human arrives and changes everything. As Eden’s world spirals out of control, she doesn’t need a charismatic Siren from her past returning to complicate life.
Now, saving Trutinor is the last thing on Eden’s mind.
Three boys.
Two murdered parents.
One deadly choice.
This will be the first book within her series – The Eden East novels. It’s been five years in the making, 237,000 words within three different drafts. Wow. For the last year I’ve watched her go through the highs and lows of finishing, editing and publishing the book, and I’m so pleased for her. You can see her journey in all its glory here…
And how beautiful is the cover art too!
You can buy the book from here – it will take you to your most frequently visited store
What are you waiting for? Go and buy it now!

This is exciting and WOW what an accomplishment. So much of yourself goes into writing and to have it published and out there. Congratulations Sacha.
Totally agree, and from the looks of things it’s going to be a huge success too, which is very much deserved!
Thank you so much, you’re right a lot does go into it and I’ve loved every part of the journey 🙂
How exciting for Sacha (and us!). So much respect goes to her for all the hard work & passion she’s put into. And the book sounds very intriguing indeed!
Oh my gosh yes – she has worked so hard!
aww thank you, I did work my butt off! But it was totally worth it 😀 and hehe glad it’s intriguing 😀

Thank you – I’ll let Sacha know!
Thank you so much, so do I! haha
Oh ho, it is so not easy. Congrats to Sasha for crossing the finish line. Now for the part I do not like – the marketing!!!
Ooh yes I’ve seen just how complicated and arduous it is haha! I love the marketing side of things!
haha yeah! I’m not a huge fan of marketing either SIGH…
I thought you wrote the novel. Ha! Congrats to Sacha. It looks like a good one!
Welcome back, Suzie!
Haha! I wish I was that talented! Thanks lovely!
Thanks susie!! haha, this one was definitely me. Don’t let Suzie fool you though – she’s got a lil yarn up her sleeve… I reckon I can bully her into publishing it one day too
That cover artwork is stunning! I look forward to reading 🙂
In fact, I’ve just bought it for my train journey to London tomorrow!
Woooo that’s fab!
oh my gosh!!!! Thank you so so much I really appreciate it and I hope you enjoy Eden’s story as much as I do 😀
It’s gorgeous isn’t it!
This looks like a great read! I’ve got it on my TBR pile! Here’s wishing Sacha many sales!
Thanks Lisa!
Thanks Lisa – I hope you enjoy it when you get around to it 😀
OH WOW – Does she have this as an E-book as I prefer to buy it that way. Have far too many paper books in the SMALL house our ours, (hubby is an avid reader, like 2-3 per week) and we now only go for E-books, but I would love to read the full set.
Ooh, I’ll ask Sacha to let you know!
Hi my friend – good to hear from you again. Hope you enjoyed and had a wonderful honeymoon.
Thanks for checking, that will be awesome and I do appreciate it. ♥
ahhh thank you so much – yes I do have it in Kindle form, you can find that here: http://amzn.to/2jQAgde I hope you enjoy reading it 😀 thank you so much for the support.
Sacha Thanks for the link. I will definitely have a look soon.
Please pass along my sincere congrats to Sacha! But we’ll have to try to overlook my envy as I’m about 233,000 words behind in the writing process.
Looking forward to reading!
Thanks Gabe – I’m sure that you will love it!
Ha! Just keep typing Gabe, you WILL get there. I didn’t think I would but several years later, I finally pressed that publish button. It CAN be done.
Lovely post Suzie 🌸
Thanks lovely!
