On Tuesday September 6, 2016 I will launch my first traditionally published series with the reissue of the Tj Jensen Paradise Lake Mysteries books 1 – 6. I think it is fitting that I will enter this new era in my career during the month of September, as September marks the anniversary of my career as an author. On September 15, 2013, I published Halloween Hijinks on somewhat of a whim, and as they say, the rest is history.
A year later, in September of 2014, I produced an anniversary edition of the book which is the Halloween Hijinks which is currently on sale today.
I am really excited to embrace this new phase in my career. I love self publishing and will continue to do so with the majority of the series that I publish but I do think traditional publishing has something to add to my overall portfolio as well. I wasn’t sure if I’d like working with so many people all who want to have a say so in the final product of the book, but I have found the staff at Henery Press to be fun individuals who are easy to work with and generally want to ensure my happiness with both the process and the product.
I have an awesome launch party going on over at https://www.facebook.com/events/848072505336998/ Please do join us for games, challenges, and giveaways from now thru September 6.
We will also be doing a book club for Pumpkins in Paradise from September 19 – 22. Please join us for discussion, games, and prizes. https://www.facebook.com/events/1408072279209347/

Can’t wait for September 6th I’m so excited to re-read this series. I have joined in the fun on FB and enjoyed reading comments from everyone about their Halloween costumes I especially enjoyed pictures people shared. Also about their decorations. Brought back a lot of great memories of when I was younger and my mom was alive. She made all of our costumes for Halloween and always decorated our home for every holiday/season. I hope you never give up writing I’ve truly enjoyed everything I’ve read of yours(and I’ve read it all). Thank you for your generosity for gifts and such you make it so much fun but I just enjoy hearing from everyone lol. Have a great day!!!
Happy Fall! Congratulations. I love your books. Thanks for doing so much.
I would love to win one of your paperbacks! Thanks for the fun giveaways. I know you put a lot of work into your launch party!!

Really happy for you! I love the artwork on any and all of the books. The new ones do have a flare that captures the eye. May you go all the way to the Best Seller’s Lists!
Love all the new cover designs.
I love your books so much! Never cared for mysterys before your Zoe books hooked me. Keep up the wonderful work!
This looks like a fun series!
I found you about 5 months after you published your first book. I was very sick and reading Zoe’s adventures got me interested in reading again and made me want to get into rescue. Even had cataract surgery so.I could read easier. 3 years later I have had to have surgery again, read lots of books and currently have12 foster cats and kittens. Thank you for helping me find life after retirement!!!!!
Wow, Sandy that is so sweet, It means so much that I could make a difference in your life. I am very touched.
Kathi, I just want to say congratulations on this milestone. I really enjoy your books and look forward to many many more.
Love Kathi Daley’s books. You can’t go wrong with them. The series are great cause you get to know the characters and the settings are small towns which I love.
The cover is so cute. Makes me want to read it!

I have read all the TJ books, and enjoyed them all. I’m excited for the traditional publishing because more perhaps people will have a chance to read your work.
And I do like the new covers. My question though is how much change in the stories is there?
Kathi, I want to wish the best on your new journey. Enjoy!
I haven’t read this series yet and I’m looking forward to reading the series.
It is wonderful to see & experience this new adventure in your writing life. Wishing you all the very best. I can’t wait to read this newly revised series. Thanks for the giveaway!
Thank you all for commenting. I am going to choose 2 winners today to receive books from the new Tj collection – Missy Vanhoose and Sandy (I’m guessing Hemsher?)
