Secondly, THREADS is now available at lulu.com and soon on Amazon. It's a wonderful collection of UK artists, poets, photographers and artists. We'll be having a book launch party on Saturday, June 13th at The Waterfront Pub in Whitehaven, Cumbria off of West Strand. EVERYONE IS INVITED! I'll also have copies of Darkness Springs available for purchase and I'll even sign 'em for yah!
Lastly, Concrete Blood dark tales of the city is now available pretty much everywhere including Waterstones, Amazon, and WHSmith. As well, I just found out Darkness Springs can be purchased through tesco.com adding to the list of booksellers.
I think that covers it. I'll be heading back to Canada in July. How long I'm there, I can't say. I maybe back in England shortly thereafter. Till then, hope everyone has a brilliant summer!

Now, I'm also in the beginning stages of setting up signings; as well as beginning work on a new a new book project featuring local Cumbria talent. It should be a helluva lot of fun. Official announcements for that project will be forthcoming this weekend.
That's it for now. I'll be buzzing about...

New year. Lot's happening.
Firstly, a trip back to England commencing Jan 29. I'll be in Egremont until roughly the middle of July. Gotta watch that 6 month limit.. I'll be arranging signings for Darkness Springs, so keep an eye out for locations. After that, it's back to Barrie, Ontario, where I'll be setting up permanent new digs with my better half.
In book news, CONCRETE BLOOD is now available at lulu and will soon be on Amazon. Inside, there's new authors, new stories (with a new one by yours truly) as well as new cover art. In my humble opinion, it's an absolutely brilliant book.
I'm included in a couple of new anthologies due to be released this year as well. Isabella Rose's Twisted Fairy Tales, Atrum Tempastas which is being published by Black Hound Publishing and Sonar4 Publication's brand new sci-fi & horror anthology series coming in June.
Speaking of Sonar4, there's an interview and review of Darkness Springs in their new ezine which you can check out at sonar4ezine.com. My many thanks to them.
Darkness Springs is doing well and I'm excited to have the chance to do some promotion whilst I'm in England. If you have a WHSmith near you and you'd like to have me pop by for a signing, let their manager know and direct them to my site.
As of writing this, I'm up to my ears in packing for the move and getting ready for the trip, so it's just a bit nutters round here. Hopefully, I'll be able to catch a few moments of relax time once I'm across the pond and can get back to actual writing, as well as, suss out the new novel The Raising and get that rolling at a publisher. Let's hope, anyways!
Hope everyone had a great Christmas and 2009 is filled with all thinngs wonderful!

It's almost Christmas and I've been preparing for that as well as a move to England in the new year and then, a second move with the better half to Ontario. All in all, it's been nuts. But... I have some terrific news in all that jumble.
CONCRETE BLOOD dark tales of the city is now available. It has new authors, new stories, a new look and is better than ever ever. You can purchase the pdf version directly from me or any of the other authors... or... you can get the print version at lulu. It will also be available through Amazon in the coming month or so. I promise you - it will blow your socks off! You can get all the info in the book section.
I'm planning on book signings for Darkness Springs, as in when, I reach England in the new year. Then, when I come back, it will be a push in the Ontario region.
Hope everyone has a great holiday and new year!

Firstly, a very Happy Halloween to you all! Now onto the good stuff.
DARKNESS SPRINGS has arrived! It is available to order from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, all your participating booksellers and from Blu Phi'er Publishing. I am chuffed beyond words and am looking forward to getting at signings in the near future. I have some bookmarks available as well and if you wing me over your proof of purchase to my e-mail at cassiepatlee@gmail.com, I'll gladly send you a personally signed one of your very own!
A big thank you again to everyone who supported me - with a special mention to my family and my better half Stephen. Also, a great big thanks to Daniele Serra who did the cover art. Absolutely brilliant!
Next in line is The Raising as well as a few new anthologies. All of these you'll find under the books section. I've put up the links to the appropriate sites for ordering Darkness Springs as well in that section.
In the new year, a move to England for 6 months is coming, and then, back to Ontario permanently with my better half and kidling. It's going to be a busy and hectic year, but one I'm looking forward to eagerly. Now... get over and buy my book! Wheeee!
Ava good one all. ^_^

The new short story (okay, not so short as it ranges in at 85,000 words) has been sent and accepted for the new book Anthology Of The Living Dead. It's called Matty and I had a lot of fun writing it. I don't do zombie stories very well. I've always found then to be done to death (pardon the pun), but this one, I think, is outside the spectrum while keeping the general genre intact.
It's due out (if all goes well) in October and will be published by Triad Publishing. I'll make note of where to buy it as soon as it's released.
Also, I'll be winging my way overseas again on July 25th. I'll be hanging in Northern England for over a month at the boyfriend's house and generally making a nuisance of myself. While I'm there (and in between keeping my youngest son from chasing the dog) I'll be writing a new novel set in Whitehaven, which is just outside of where I'll be staying. I'm hoping it will flow with ease as I'll be immersed in the culture. I'll be back the first week in September and gearing up for book signings in the wake of Darkness Springs.
So, that's it kiddies. Hope everyone has a fantastic summer and I'll update on you my adventures in the U.K. as I can.

A quickie here. The Ladies of Horror short is in to the proper people. It's called Jake and, next to The Raising, it's got some of the most violent sex scenes I've ever written.
Also, Ive been asked to contribute to a new novel coming out called Anthology Of The Living Dead. I've already begun writing for this one and it will be a twist on the standard zombie theme.
And... HELP is now available, so make sure to get your copy. It benefits Preditors and Editors battle against P.A. This is one helluva worthwhile cause - trust me!
I've been in touch with my marketer and he tells me, Darkness Springs is just about ready for release. I should be winging my way around to signings in the near future.
Hope everyone has a fantastic summer and I'll try and update at least once while enjoying the sun.

Rite... and so I'm back from England. The trip was entirely too short, but I am taking heart in the fact, I'll be back again come the summer. It was brilliant! Simply brilliant! The weather couldn't have been nicer and as far as the personal stuff went... I've never been happier in my life.
Now, in the biz side of stuff... I am still finishing up the project for Ladies of Horror, but while I was overseas, I did wrangle a few photos for it. The rest will come when my better half is over here in a few weeks. Not only is he a wonderful boyfriend, but he never complains when I make him take the same pic over and over.
I'm trying to get this last bit of project done as I have another novel waiting in the sidelines. It's a ghost story of sorts, and it's set in Northern England. I was inspired by a true story I was told. Summer Passes has not been forgotten and I'm going to attempt writing both at the same time. There's something to be said for stupidity.
That's it, I guess. HELP should be available damn quick, so make sure you get your copy. As well, Darkness Springs is looming around the corner and I'm stoked for its release. Here's to a productive summer!
Cheers, Cassie

Another project in the works called Wicked Tales is a reworking of fairy tales aimed at adults. My story, The Three Little Kittens, still has pies and lost mittens, but this ain't no kids tale. Mum's a slut and the 3 lads are a vengeful brood. Look for Wicked Tales later this year.

It's been a quick winter. Very quick. Spring is in the air and with it, I have another anthology I'll be included in. Help is a novel chalk full of brilliant authors, all coming together to aid the Preditors and Editors website. It's a fantastic website that authors, editors, illustrators, publicists, you name it, have turned to at one time or another for information and advice. Look for it. Buy it.
Also, I'm adding my work to two other projects. The first is Ladies of Horror, a novel being put out by Word Weavers. The second is a collaborative effort called Edward Ballister. Both these will be out later this year. Darkness Springs is nearly here and my marketer tells me it should be ready for release by the end of May or beginning of June.
In personal stuff, I'll be heading overseas to England in a couple of weeks for a bit of well deserved rest. Hope everyone has a great Spring.
Cheers, Cassie
