It’s hard to believe that it’s been 20 years since Canawlers was released. Not only was it my first foray into historical fiction, it was my first indie published novel. Up to that point, I had had two books published by two different publishers. One was a young adult novel, and the other was a horror novel. (I have the rights back to both, and I will republish them at some point.)

A biking trip down the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal inspired me, and it also turned out to challenge me to take my career in a new direction. For the next 15 years, I wrote exclusively in the history and historical fiction. It’s only been in the last few years, I’ve branched out to do horror, fantasy, and YA again.

For the 20th anniversary edition, I had new e-book covers designed for all the Canawlers books. I also did re-edits on the books to fix some consistency issues and other errors. Finally, I wrote a new Canawlers novella that I will include with Canawlers, Between Rail and River, Lock Ready, and The Race in The Complete Canawlers Series e-book box set.

If you haven’t read Canawlers yet, here’s your chance. The new edition is on sale on Kindle for 99 cents. It is also on Kindle Unlimited. Take a look and let me know what you think.
