E-Publishing: Electronic book publisher and mystery author Nicola Furlong will speak to us about the e-publishing industry.

She is the author of two stand-alone mysteries, six inspirational cozies from the Church Choir Mystery series and one non-fiction mystery writing primer. Nicola has also written a gardening guide for the West Coast and has adapted two of her novels to screenplays; both were optioned for television. Three of her books are available as e-books.

She also produces book trailers, and is the co-creator of a new multimedia storytelling platform called a Quillr. A Quillr amalgamates text, audio, video and still images, and her first Quillr, a controversial suspense thriller, may be experienced at www.UnnaturalStates.com.

An innovative guerilla marketer, Sidney resident Nicola says she is a shameless self-promoter. She has worked in fisheries and environmental consulting, and survives the travails of publishing by cycling, playing ice hockey, growing poppies and eating chocolate.
