Fun In The Sun

Hi My Friends. I want to thank you all for such a successful launch! Battlefield, the last of the Jade Stone Chronicles came out the 21st of July, and if I check out the Amazon standing today, August 5th, this is what I see:

The Novella IS coming. I’m just struggling to get the cover just right. It will hopefully answer all the remaining questions. I don’t want to put the pre-order for the novella up until I have a cover.

If any of you are close to Sheboygan, Wisconsin, I’ll be hosting a class with A.R. Grimes, writer of Wyldling Snare, a truly excellent book, about how to create a book series. If you want to join us in Sheboygan at Word Haven Book House, click here!

A.R. Grimes can be found here. Her blog Cycle of Tahara is a delight! She posts more cat photos than anyone I know!

Now, if you need a great read while waiting for my books, check out Breaking Glass by Lisa Amowitz. There are only a few days before school starts, so get your reading on now!

Pixes and Ogres

I traveled to Sheboygan, Wisconsin with my friend, A.R. Grimes on Sunday for an author event. We taught a class on conceptualizing your book. But I get ahead of myself. 

The two of us strapped onto our griffins for an exciting ride across our state. We carried our books, and a hope to share our love of writing, creating, and publishing. 

When we landed, we realized before we stopped at the local book shop, we had to focus on our stomachs. We found a tavern, Sly’s Midtown Salooon, yes, I spelled that correctly, though your question was legit. 

A bevy of pixes quickly got to our needs, flitting around, serving the trolls and gnomes demanding breakfast and ale. We were informed the owner, an ogre, was around keeping all in line. It took a bit of time for the cook to switch over from breakfast to lunch, but when the food came, it was delightful. 

Michelle, our pixie server.

The Cook, and her pixie philosophy!

Once we fed the beasts that were our bellies, A.R. Grimes and I headed over to WordHaven BookHouse. The lead elf was out, under the weather, but she left a wonderful commander, able to watch the store as we held our class. We had five students in attendance as we discussed ways to plan out a book, resources, and our path to get works published. 

In the end, we slid on our magical rainbows back home, excited about the new friends we had made on our adventure in our own state.
