Dave Laderoute to Publish with Five Rivers
 |
| David Laderoute author of Out of Time |
Another gem landed in our submissions folder a few months ago, this time from Dave Laderoute. What unfolded was an honestly written, engaging YA novel, Out of Time, targeted for the 8-12 reader, absolutely Canadian in content and outlook. It’s always a joy when you forget you’re reading as an editor, and become engaged as a reader.
Dave Laderoute and his wife, Jackie, live in Thunder Bay, Ontario, along with their three kids–Andrew, Mark and Sarah–and the obligatory writer’s cats. Dave has a Master of Science Degree in Geology, has worked extensively in the mining and geoscience sectors, and retired as a Lieutenant Colonel from the Canadian Army Reserves. He and Jackie now run a successful business in Thunder Bay, The GameShelf, specializing in board, party, card and other “unplugged” games.
Dave has been writing off-and-on since 1990, and has had several short stories appear in various small press publications. Most notably, in 1999, he took second place in a contest sponsored by the Association of Computing Machinery, a consortium of major companies including Microsoft, Intel, Hewlett Packard, Apple and others. Dave has also written extensively for role-playing games, particularly The Legend of the Five Rings product line. Out of Time is Dave’s first novel-length publication, but doesn’t intend it to be his last!
You can follow Dave on Facebook or on his now-being-resurrected-from-long-dormancy blog at http://anyothergoat.blogspot.com.
Out of Time is scheduled for release late 2013 in both print and digital formats.
