SARA, a Canadian Saga was my very first novel. My story was published by Wynterblue Publishing Company in North Bay several years ago, yet it still holds its own on Amazon sites. If you haven't read it yet, I hope you will check it out. I will never forget the thrill of having my first novel published. SARA is available in Kindle, Paperback, and Audiobook formats on all Amazon sites.
THE OBSERVER – His Eye is on the Sparrow is a story told by three generations of women; Karina, Anna, and Karen. I was privileged to meet these women throughout my NaNoWriMo writing experience in November of 2019. Three women, yet two souls, share their experiences. The story begins with Karina in Bangalore, India. She makes the challenging move to Elliot Lake, Ontario, Canada and is overjoyed when her daughter, Anna is born. Time passes and sadly, Karina dies. Three days after Karina’s death, Anna’s daughter, Karen is born. Anna realizes that Karen is her grandmother all over again. Is this possible? Certainly, Karen believes that it is.These three women bless us with their understanding, knowledge, and experience of the Christian and the Hindu religions. Each woman lives her own separate life; has her own personal struggles; yet family patterns repeat. Karen’s search for authenticity enriches the story and, yes, a beautiful love story is woven throughout the pages.

SOME STATISTICS:
I asked AI, through Google, this question; how many self-published authors are there in Canada? This is my response. " High Total Output: Over 2.6 million new self-published titles are released globally each year. A proportionate share of these originates in Canada via accessible, dominant platforms like Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing, Kobo Writing Life, and Draft2Digital."
Wow! 2.6 million self-published titles in one year!
As a relatively unknown but prolific and dedicated author, I am very proud to say that, given all the odds against me, I do enjoy sales of my thirty paperbacks and many kindle short stories through Amazon.
Sometimes I think, wow! How absolutely amazing! From a selection of millions of books, someone has actually picked up a book that I've put my heart into and shared with the world.
I want to say thank you to everyone who has bought a book from me and a thanks to all who haven't yet but who plan to check out my books.
It's Canada Day 2026 and this proud Canadian author feels blessed and honoured to live in this most beautiful, caring, democratic, country. Canada strong and free!
Happy Canada Day! Happy reading! https://amazon.com/author/audreyaustin
