Summer – FREE BOOKS!

Hi everyone! I want to keep this short and sweet. Updates:

  1. I have written and updated the Pebble Stone Chronicle trilogy. I will now pass them off to my team to do their magic. This won’t be a quick process, but it’s worth the wait.
  2. Veiled Phoenix is out in the world! The second book, Moonstone Phoenix, is past the first editor and soon, I hope, will be off to the second.
  3. I believe I started in the subject that there were free books!

I know I’ve mentioned this, but ALL DAY TODAY!!! Free fantasy books!!

May the books be ever in your kindle!

Fire and Phoenixes!

Happy June!

Well, it finally happened. Veiled Phoenix is alive and well and out in the world. For those of you who read books on Kindle Unlimited, go, read, and enjoy. If you’re more interested in eBook or Paperback, those are available as well.

Moonstone Phoenix, the second book is slated to come out on November 22nd. If I can get all my raving racoons to agree, I may get the book out sooner. At the moment, that actually looks good. I have one and a quarter edits left. Beyond that, the cover is done and I do my own formatting.

I’ve been spending the last month and a half critiquing SO many books. It’s been nice getting back to reading. I’m also almost done writing and cleaning up the Pebble trilogy. Then I’ll throw the series to the critique/edit group. We should see Pebble out in 2025 … at the latest. (I may write faster than my elves can work…)

We are halfway through pride month, hope you’re enjoying it!

Thunderbolts and Lightening!

If you live anywhere in or around Wisconsin, you know the weather is … exciting. It’s Saturday right now, and ironically, the weather is nice.

But, yesterday and tomorrow are thunderstorms. Earlier this week we had a day with four (five?) tornado sirens!! Below is an image of the storm Tuesday night. Friends lost power for days. We lucked out.

Long story short … I got a lot of reading done, and the BOOK FAIR is postponed until June 2nd. Good news, I will definitely have copies of Veiled Phoenix, officially out June 14th, pre-order the eBook today!, to sell!!! Bad news, you have to wait a week to buy them.

I still hope to see you there! https://www.facebook.com/events/374391782017381

In the meantime, I’m almost done cleaning up Battle Phoenix, then I’m back to the Pebble books!

It’s a fair!

Hi all!

The transition from teaching to only focusing on writing is always odd. I keep thinking I’m forgetting something. I’ve spent most of the last week beta reading two books, both excellent. I love that part of writing, getting in and seeing the process before publishing, knowing that my thoughts and opinions will help make someone else’s project better.

Though Veiled Phoenix comes out on June 14th (!!!), I’ve already done a reread of Moonstone Phoenix. Last night I began my read through of Battle Phoenix, the end of the trilogy. My first beta reader suggested I add a chapter to the end of the book, so this read through is slow and critical. I’m trying to really get in and make it better.

Don’t forget, you can pre-order any of the Ember Savita Trilogy, today! Though Veiled Phoenix comes out June 14th, you can order the first book from me early. I don’t have that page up on my website yet, but you can order one book on the Jade page and put Veiled Phoenix in the notes. Be the first to read the book!!

As a reminder, all of Jade Stone Chronicles is available on eBook, Paperback, Kindle Unlimited, and audiobook!

On Sunday, I’ll be at a book fair in Kenosha, Wisconsin. There will be lots of venders there selling books and other fun items. There will be a food truck!!! I know, I get excited by almost anything. Here’s a facebook link about the event.

https://www.facebook.com/events/374391782017381

As soon as I’m done with my beta reads and Battle Phoenix, I’ll be back to the Pebble series. I believe the first book is at a good point, but books two and three need work. So, I have a lot of work to do!

I hope all of you are as excited as me.

Summer Dreaming

May is such a strange time. There are a large number of us still chugging away: work, school, homework, deadlines, and all of it. That said, for some people, finals have come and gone, school’s out, and it’s time to look towards the next chapter of 2024.

I hope no matter what you’re doing, you are finding ways to relax and have some fun.

There are a few things I’d like to discuss. First of all, I have several meet and greets around Wisconsin this summer. Some coming up soon.

Friday, May 17th, I’ll be at Studio Moonfall in Kenosha, Wisconsin from 4 – 7pm. Here is the facebook event.

Saturday, May 18th, I’ll be at Dragon Tale Books in Menomonie, Wisconsin with A.R. Grimes from 1 – 4pm. Meet the Authors-Huckleberry Rahr and Angela Grimes

Sunday, May 26th, I’ll be back at Studio Moonfall for an outdoor book event with lots of authors and other venders.

Besides planning meet and greets, I have been trying to read, write, and well, do some arithmetic. That last is mostly over now, since I am one who finished final last week. I’ve been reading through the edits of Veiled Phoenix, the first of the Ember Savita trilogy. I do believe it will be a trilogy. Once I got done finalizing that book, I read through book two, Moonstone Phoenix. I’ll probably read Battle Phoenix next.

Veiled Phoenix will be live on June 14th!!! If you were wondering.

I have two amazing critique readers who read my books and ask those probing questions that lead to me adding or subtracting words, depending on what they’ve asked. I am supremely thankful for both of them. I was going through Angela’s comments on book two and will be going through Elizabeth’s comments on book 3. Usually Elizabeth is the first to get her hands on my books.

Once I’m done reading through Ember’s books, I’ll go back to Pebble’s series. I need to do much more with her trilogy. I think the first book is probably fine, but books two and three need … more.

As well as writing the books, I’ve been getting the covers made, which is always a fun process. They are slowly getting done.

You can get more info on all of the books on their individual pages on my website.

Anyway, hope you’re May is going well!

And The Winner Is…

Not me.

Wolf Healer is a finalist in two categories for the 2024 American Legacy Awards! I didn’t win, but I get place for LGBTQ+ Fiction and Urban Fiction. I’m still pretty excited.

Since 2024 began, I’ve written a first draft of all three books in the trilogy that will one day be the Pebble Stone Chronicles. In the next day or two I’ll even contract for the covers! It’s all so real. I need to read through the books before I have anyone else read them, the books are short and need … well, probably a lot, but at least some TLC. (That’s tender loving care, not a channel on the tele… )

Last year I wrote a phoenix series. The first book, Veiled Phoenix, has finally been edited. For awhile it felt like the book that would never BE edited. I’ve not only gone through the edits, which means I can start formatting the book, I’ve set dates for publishing all three books of the trilogy, and set up pages on amazon. That’s right, it’s all really happening. You can check out the pages on my website or on Amazon if you want to pre-order any of them.

Here is a link for Amazon. <CLICK ME!!>

So, Veiled Phoenix will come out on June 14th. Check out this cover!

Isn’t it great?! Let me know what you think.

In Like a Lion

We’ve made it to the end of March. This hasn’t been the best month for me in sales, but it’s been amazing in terms of audiobooks… guess what?! They’re ALL OUT!!!

If you want more regular interactions with me. I have an author page on facebook that I’ve been very active in. Please join me and others. It’s been lots of fun interacting an joking around.

I write a lot of books. I have a couple of pen names where I write contemporary and paranormal romance. Because of this, my editor has a hard time keeping up with the backlog of books I have. So, Veiled Phoenix, the first of the phoenix shifter books, has been patiently waiting for the love of more than critique readers.

In the last few weeks, I have found a new editor and signed a contract. She will start editing in the next week or so. By the end of April, she’ll be done! Then the ARCs can go out. I have about six or seven people signed up to get the book early. If you are curious, here is my page on the book so you can read what it’s about: https://huckleberryauthor.com/ember-savita-chronicles-book-1/

If you want to sign up to be part of the ARC, here is the sign up: https://forms.gle/ULf31wBhhB3vavfn7

I am currently writing the third of the Pebble books. I have planned on there only being three books in her series: Xenagogue, Yugen, and Zephyr. The blurbs haven’t been added to the website yet, but they’re coming soon, I promise!

Happy sugar weekend!

It’s March, and We’re MAD!

Okay, not really. Actually, I’m rather happy to have survived February. It was rather mild, scarily so. I even went without a coat once. As someone living in Wisconsin, that is unheard of. The next day it was below freezing and there was snow, so that made more sense.

I just now … like a few minutes ago, listened to the first chapter sample of Pack Present, the last audiobook being made for the Jade Stone Chronicles. Andrea Kummer get’s better and better every time.

Over the last month, I wrote the first of the Pebble Stone Chronicles! I don’t know that I told you it was being written, but she’s getting her own trilogy.

I’ve updated the website. I realize it’s been awhile … too long. I spend more time writing the worrying about such trivialities. Pebble has her own pages, and I’ve given small blurbs to the books I feel comfortable summarizing. I don’t have covers yet. I’m still agonizing over how they should look. There are so many overhead bits and pieces to publishing a book!

Speaking of books, Veiled Phoenix … oh! I need to get the phoenix books up to the website! Always more to do!!! Anyway, Veiled Phoenix is with the editor. If I can get the cover made for that book, I may be able to get it published before the summer.

If you want more constant updates, I have been keeping my facebook page updated and revving with daily posts. Check it out! https://www.facebook.com/HuckleberryAuthor/

Anyway, if you want to be on the ARC team for Veiled Phoenix, a … you guessed it, a phoenix shifter book, with magic users, phoenixes, and a gender fluid main character, sign up here: https://forms.gle/rxayssoAQNNVvqzU8

An ARC means advanced read copy. I’ll send you the eBook and if you’re comfortable, you leave a review as close to the day the book publishes as you can.

Happy March Madness, my friends

Let it SNOW!!!

It is Friday the … well 12th, not 13th, but we were SO close.

It is the second time this week Wisconsin has closed for snow. On Tuesday it wasn’t so bad. I didn’t want to leave the house anyway. I’d gone shopping on Monday, not thinking about the forecasted snow, and ran into everyone and their brother shopping … it was fun. I sometimes feel I’m as clueless about the obvious as Jade!

Today, I was supposed to drive roughly two hours to Kenosha, Wisconsin for a ‘Meet the Author’ event. I’ve been planning this trip to Studio Moonfall for over a month. I love the bookstore and the owner is lovely. Unfortunately, the snow, ice, and overall blizzard had another idea.

I’ve rescheduled for May 17th … past the semester when I’m teaching and hopefully past the snow!

In early December my family got a new kitten. She is now six months old. She’s been hiding in my bedroom since we got her. Yesterday, we locked her out of the bedroom. Believe it or not, she started to explore and see what her new home was about.

Happy January!
