Spot the Changes: A Study in Aether edition
Sometimes seeing it in our minds (or in the rough stick-figure sketch sent to the artist) doesn’t match what we had envisioned. Since we caught so many at this stage, the colour version only had three changes. In this edition of Spot the Changes, we decided to go from the sketch version. There were seven differences between the first sketch and the final cover. Can you spot them all? Don’t scroll down until you’re ready for the answer.
I know everything says “Get it now!” but there’s no link – that’s because the release is delayed a little due to printing issues. Keep checking the UBL page – we will update the link as soon as we have it!
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

A Study in Aether Re-Release Cover
Hello Readers!
Earlier this year, I regained the rights to the Elizabeth Investigates Series and the fine folks at River City Siren Press have agreed to re-publish them.
A Study in Aether will be coming out soon and we were lucky enough to get the amazing Pinkpiggy93 to do the new cover.
I’ll let you know when it’s available and I have to say I’m really excited about this cover.
What do you think?

All Good Things…
Hello Family, Friends, and Fans;
In 2009, I decided to write a story about a young girl who finds mittens in the snow and discovers that they are transformed people. It started as a young middle grade but eventually settled on a YA for 10+.
Just over ten years ago I signed a contract with Renaissance Press. They went on to publish the next 3 books in the series. Renaissance was a wonderful home for my series and I appreciate everything they’ve done.
The Bad News
Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end and the series rights have returned to me. It’s sad. I hate change and endings.
The Good News
The series is not dead yet. I have signed a contract with River City Siren Press for the entire series.
We’ll be republishing the books with updated covers and updated editing. I’m amazed at how fast this is going.
The Other News
That means it’ll take a little while to get all four of the originals republished, but hopefully I’ll have book 5 ready by then.
For those who have been here since I started this publishing journey, thank you!
For those who are new, welcome and also thank you!
Stay safe and be kind,
Éric

Today I’m 35
Hello My Imaginary Friends,
Today is my birthday! (If you’d like to get me a gift, read and review my books.)
It’s easy to look back on your life and think, “AHHHHHH. I’ve accomplished nothing!!!” But that’s your insecurity speaking. At the very least you’ve done something that a lot of others haven’t; you’ve survived.
Surviving is good. I’ve been lucky enough to not only survive but do a few things that, I think, are awesome: (no particular order)
- Graduated University
- Had 3 books published
- Written 7 novels and part of two novels
- Made sure there was constant content on this blog since 2014
- Learnt how to roast coffee and made a semi-successful business out of it
- Been married for 9 years to my best friend (Although that’s mostly her being patient and a little luck)
- I’m super proud of Baby Dragon
- Wrote and developed an RPG (Can’t wait for FADDS to be available to all)
I’ve spent my life feeling average. I’m not the smartest, hardest working, most handsome, etc. So it’s nice to have things I’m proud of and that I feel I’ve done well. Yes, I realize there’s nothing on that list that hasn’t been done before, or that hasn’t been done better before. But I’m proud and consider myself lucky.
Who knows what I’ll be able to accomplish in the next 35-50 years.
What are you proud of?
Éric
