Dear Readers,

Thank you for visiting DevynQuinn.com. I have some news to share, so here goes:

Although I have written several novels and novellas, and even won a few awards, I had to learn the hard way a book has little chance of succeeding without the support of the publisher and marketing team. Unfortunately my books did not receive any publicity, and most slipped into quiet oblivion despite my best efforts to promote myself.

While it was a bitter pill to swallow, I finally had to realize I do not have the magic touch for attracting readers. With that in mind, I have made the decision to put down my pen for awhile and pursue other avenues of creativity.

The decision was a difficult one. Don’t get me wrong. I love to write and I love hearing from my readers. (I still do, and the contact form is still in place.) It just came to the point where the excitement of creating a new story disappeared and the aggravation of the New York publication process wasn’t worth the stress. Life is too just short to be angry or disappointed with one’s work.

For the convenience of readers I am leaving this site in place. But there will be no new releases for a while, with the exception of Descent of Demons (Keepers of Eternity 2), which was already in the publication que last year with Mojocastle Press. Given a little space and time I might be back with a renewed desire to write and fresh ideas. For now, I simply need a break. I do hope everyone understands as I sort everything out.

Any future announcements will be posted here.

Warmest regards,

Devyn
