For the love of zines
A note about the ‘status’ I put on some zine reviews. I don’t want the ‘for trade’ status to give any impression that I did not like a zine. Basically, I have stacks of zines and I’m doing some inventory. I start going a little bonkers when I get too much ‘stuff’, so I do inventory a lot.
I am really, really strict with what I keep. So please, please don’t take it as an insult if your zine is up for trade. I’d keep them all if I had a bigger house and a calmer mindspace.
Yup. Take it as you will, but SeaGreenZine is now on Facebook.
I want to get this place kicking again, and the best way I can do that is by doing some zine reviews. If you would like me to review your zine (unlikely, as I am just starting out, but you never know), leave a comment on this post.
There are only 71 hours left to go on my Pozible Project. Be a part of publishing Fading Echoes, and get some great prizes in return.
Also check out the project page to see a video of me answering some frequently asked questions about the book.
***Everyone who donates – regardless of amount – will be entered in a draw for a prize pack from me! Included are signed copies of Echo Falls and Fading Echoes, a bookmark, and a sterling silver wolf charm on a silver necklace.***
As you no doubt noticed, things got a little slack here in the last half of last year. That’s because I took up being a full time student and got lost in the mix there.
But now I am back in action, and I will be posting more here again. Get ready for more stuff from yours truly.
And if you are a zine creator, don’t be shy about contacting me! I love to help promote fellow zinesters.
I am testing out Windows Live Writer to see if it makes posting easier. Bear with me.
Sea Green Zines is still alive! Just a little slothful.
I am very happy to announce that Dear Anonymous 2 is complete! Now only copies need to be made and sewn.
So if you have letters for the next zine, send them in! Email here.
Remember Purple Moose?
Well, being a favourite, erm, ‘companion’ of both my cat and my puppy, Purple Moose has seen better days. He has decided to retire from the trials of being a zine mascot and to pursue things like bookshelf life and knitting.
However, he did not leave me completely alone. Say hello to the Sea Green Zine Ninja:
The zine ninja and I spent the afternoon of my birthday together. It turns out he’s just as fond of hotel rooms as I am.
And strawberries.
And stealing hotel room bikkies. He doesn’t eat the bikkies, mind you. It’s the stealing that is the enjoyable part.
Hopefully you will be seeing more of the Sea Green Zine Ninja while we get to know each other, hopefully decide on a much shorter name and make zines.
Hm. Doesn’t look too bad in here, considering how long I have been gone. What have I been doing? Mostly this:
Running from a nightmare stalking her every move, Phoebe Martin arrives in Echo Falls hoping she has finally found a safe place to stop. But trouble has a way of catching up and soon the signs are there.
After a vicious attack in an alley, policeman Aidan O’Bryan is left with Phoebe as his only path to understanding why the Echo Falls werewolf pack – his pack – is being attacked. When another pack member is killed, Phoebe is forced to confront her past before she loses Aidan and everything she has come to love.
Love and duty become one as Aidan strives to prevent Phoebe from becoming the next victim. But with Phoebe just as determined to protect Aidan and her new home, secrets from her past threaten to tear them apart.
Will love give Phoebe the strength to trust Aidan and face her fears, or will her past destroy her future?

My first novel. Available in print (print cover is different) at CreateSpace and Amazon.com Soon to be available on Smashwords and Kindle.
I’m thinking of creating a mini-zine with the first chapter in it, so we’ll see where that takes me.
Until next time…
