The Balkan Secret Conspiracy Manuscript is Back from Edits
The Balkan Secret Conspiracy comes closer to it's last laps. I will be working on editing and taking into consideration what has been suggested to me. One more edit after that will be done. I am currently looking at finding an agent, but failing that, I will solicit my manuscript to a few publishers. Failing that, you will see this well-written novel with a great plot self-published and available near you soon!

Pawn: A Novel and Collection are now available on Chapters.ca
Slowly, but surely, other internet booksellers are slowly picking up my books. This is a breakthrough for me, considering on my first approach to Chapters, I was told that in order to have my books with them, they would have to be published through a Canadian publisher; even if it was via their website. This will allow, for the most part, more choice for Canadians when they choose to purchase my books.

The Balkan Secret Conspiracy Is on it's way to completion
A PERSONAL NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR
With the renaming of the manuscript, I, Barbara Anna Marjanovic, have had an influx and re-birth of inspiration to the completion of this long-awaited novel. Yes, it is a conspiracy, yes, there are parts riddled with horror, paranormal activity, and telepathy. Those are the kinds of books I write.
Take a journey through the life of Zlata. Zlata (meaning "Gold" in Croatian) was stuck in the middle, as a child, of Word War II. Living in the hills and valleys of former Yugoslavia, she suffered the loss of her father and brother through the bloodbath created by the Ustashe and Chetnik mafias (Croatian and Serbian, respectively). Losing her mother prompted he to be one of the few to defect across the German border, and come to Canada.
Many years later, as an old woman, she is surprised by a visit from one of her old neighbors in the old country. A seemingly innocent reunion brings back horrorible memories, and an unbelievable conspiracy. Her friend, Charles, reveils undiscovered documents--ones that break through a conspiracy brewed only by the most evil of individuals. A higher level Balkan conspiracy like no other...
Shall I say more? I have the ending. Plan for an interesting read--if you dare follow.
