Happy Spring from (still in)
the Sonoran Desert!

I’ll be living amongst the rattlesnakes and scorpions for two more weeks before I start driving north to get off the desert floor prior to summer’s arrival. I definitely don’t want to be down here for the summer temps!

2025 sees a handful of new books releasing:

Children’s author Pam McDonald's second Children’s book, Kate’s Crow, will be released later this spring. For more information, click on her name above.

Our newest author, Ann Schreiber, has her third book (and first novel) going into design today. If you like a good ‘Hallmark’ movie, you will definitely want to keep your eye on her web page for future announcements on the release date of Emily’s Next Chapter. If the last few processes come together quickly, I’m going to say the end of June 2025. Otherwise, July.

Author Amy Gregg has her second novel in the ‘Accidental Farmer Mystery Series’ going into editing this week. If things move along smoothly, I’d go out on a limb and say we might see that release toward the end of 2025. Still too early to say for sure, but fingers crossed.

Editing is wrapping up on the debut YA Adventure/Mystery Fiction novel from Andrew Nelson. No release date yet, but once the editing is done, things tend to move a bit quicker. I should know more by the next quarterly newsletter which will be sent out in July from Wisconsin.

For myself, the JELLYBEANS Coloring & Activity Book goes into design in April/May. That book is long overdue since I don’t sit still very much. I will say though, with the amount of designing needed, I’d say a release date of late summer/early autumn. There’s never enough time in the day. ;-)

We have a few other projects in the works, too. A couple of Children’s books, a debut YA novel, one or two non-fictions are coming in, and at least one other fiction novel to be released between 2025/26.

On my way north, I’ll be stopping at various bookstores & libraries, sharing the Fox Pointe catalogue with buyers; the perpetual sales trip. Depending on how the summer schedule pans out, I may do a community event or two for book sales and promotion of Fox Pointe Publishing’s authors.

Well, that’s about it for what I can think of to report from the desert. I’ll be on the road soon and gathering new memories and meeting new people - telling them all about our books. If you’d like to learn more about the books, please click on either the book covers or the authors’ pictures, and that’ll put you right where you need to be in order to learn more. Please support our authors and buy your books from them, directly. #supportsmallbusinesses

An EXTRA that has nothing to do with books:
I’ll add in, if you’re interested in my adventures of being out on the open road, on the permanent sales trip I’ve found myself, you can check out and subscribe to my YouTube Channel* https://www.youtube.com/@wyrdnwylde Granted, it has nothing to do with books, or at least not directly (I wouldn’t be on a permanent sales trip if I didn’t have something to sell, so it’s sort of related.) But I put this channel together so my kids could keep tabs on their crazy mom, and I could look back at my adventures and wonder who the ‘nice lady’ is on the videos when my memory starts going. Oh, who am I kidding? My memory has already started disappearing… ;-)

*My YT Channel has nothing to do with professionalism or formality. It’s all for fun and you’ll see me in my pajamas, and at different events, and all of my trials and tribulations of being an RV owner, etc. This vlog is strictly for entertainment.

 

+ reminder +

In 2024, Fox Pointe moved the retail buying process directly to the authors for a few reasons: For readers, they get signed copies of the books, and get to interact directly with the authors. For authors, their income increases, and it gives them the opportunity to make personal connections with readers and build their audience/network for future releases.

In order to contact our authors, directly, click on either the book cover off the home page of our website, www.foxpointepublishing.com, or on their pictures posted on the ‘Professionals’ page of the website. You’ll see clickable links/buttons posted on the pages to contact the author directly. Most of our authors have landing pages, webpages, or Google forms attached to those links, and a few have emails but those authors will still get your orders, too.

 

+ upcoming autumn release +

Former Twin Cities socialite Lilly Schmidt struggles to get her grand plan for agritourism off and running in Lone Tree, MN. There always seems to be a bump in the road. The latest bump is the new veterinarian in town, who happens to be terribly single.

It’s time for the town’s late summer festival, which is a perfect place for tempers and
long-held secrets to heat up, dredging up the past that should have stayed long buried. But those aren’t the only things boiling over: Lilly also must face matters of the heart as things start getting weird between her and her once-ex-boyfriend, now-hired-hand Ryan.

When the son of one of Lone Tree’s founding families is found dead at the yearly celebration, Lilly finds herself pulled once more into figuring out who the newest murderer is in town before it is too late.

Amy Gregg began her writing journey at a young age with what would eventually be known as "fan fiction," quickly growing into her own narrative voice, and never once thought to stop. Save for those four years while attending Concordia University, St. Paul, to get her B.A. in Psychology, and that handful of years to start a family. Then, she went back to school for medical administration. Somewhere in there, she sleeps.

When not writing, she enjoys watching movies, reading, spending time with family, and having spirited discussions of all things Marvel. A native Minnesotan who grew up in the suburbs of Minneapolis, this “city girl” lives with her daughter and two cats west of the Twin Cities.
