Foolish week ahead!

I am so excited about this week. Well, no, I’m not, but I am! I just survived a week of spring break. Survived because lifting a box of early release copies of Xenagogue, I lost my balance and then my back hurt. Though, my back hurting isn’t really out of the ordinary.

So, if spring break was last week, why am I excited about next week? Well, there’s a birthday in the house, so I have an excuse to bake. Please don’t ask about my diet, it isn’t great. While out getting groceries today, I ran into someone with rainbow hair!!! I know, it was trippy. Now, I dyed my hair black back in January to get me to summer, so that will be a shock to some of you, but as Laura, the lovely lady with rainbow hair mentioned, I’m still full of rainbows in the inside!

  • me and Laura of the rainbow hair! She took a bookmark. She had the cutest family with her!!

What I’ve baked! The first is African Malva Pudding Cake. A family favorite. That second one is a s’mores blondie. It looks weird but it was tasty. The last picture is the mid-step in making fudge… it’s a dangerous process!

Next weekend I’ll make a sandwich cookie chocolate layered cake. Who knows what else will pop up… macaron cookies, pound cake (because we all need to put on more pounds!), and probably hot chocolate… he likes to drink it early and often!

Now, as you saw above, I have physical copies of Xenagogue. You are welcome to go ahead and order signed copies of any of my books from the website, INCLUDING Xenagogue! I know, super duper exciting. If you’d rather use paypal or venmo, just send a message and we can figure something out.

So, what’s new in the world of writing?

  • Obviously, Xenagogue is ready to be out in the world! It even has a few reviews on goodreads!
  • Veiled Phoenix will be at a sale price because of C.L. Cannon’s Fantasy & Sci-Fi Book Fair. Not only are there Free & Discounted books, there are prizes! Check it out!!
  • On April 11th, when Xenagogue releases, there will be an online release party on The Reading Lounge a facebook reader and author page. There will be a slew of authors playing games and giving away prizes. Come join in on the fun and see what you can win!
  • I’ve been going through the Yugen critiques and soon I’ll be calling for an ARC team. Pebble’s story is so fun! All of this brings me joy!

Happy almost April, my friends!

It’s The Holiday Season! ❤️📚🎧🌲🍪

It is almost December. I know that I just sent out a newsletter, but there are a few important things I need to tell you.

First of all, I’ve updated my website. There were a few items that needed a bit of help, but I believe I have it mostly in working order. As always, websites are a work in progress.

Speaking of progress …

  • Battle Phoenix – I am hoping to get this out in December, ahead of Christmas. I don’t know if I can. I also don’t know if it happens, if the audio will be available at the same time.
  • The Pebble trilogy – It is set for 2025! I hope all of you are as excited as I am. I believe after Pebble, I will be stepping away from these characters and this world. Then again, I have thought that before, so I may be convinced otherwise.
  • Events – I never really know where or how to find events. I seems to fall into them by accident. I do have a few coming up, but again, it seems more random than planned. I had one at a mall, not my best plan. I have one coming up in a few weeks in Madison, Wisconsin – super excited about that.
    • December 1st – I’m joining a group of authors for a day of give aways on the Reading Lounge of facebook. Find the link on my author page on facebook.
    • December 2nd – 7th – I’m joining a group of authors who are doing a December Dash, promoting indie authors books to be bought from their websites as holiday gifts. You can get mine from here. I’ve updated the page to include the phoenix series, and is updateable for when Pebble’s series is done.
      • The full list of participating authors can be found here, but it doesn’t officially start until December second!
    • The Big Gay Holiday Market – December 20th – 21st.
      • The 20th is 18+ with fun adult themed events
      • The 21st, in the morning is mask only, and the rest of the day is for everyone.
      • Come get gifts for the whole family!!

I have a friend who has started a website to review books! I’d love for you to check it out here!

I have another friend who has been making crochet art to make ends meet. Their work is amazing! They are disabled and this has helped them to maintain independence. If you want to check out their online store for more Christmas Gift ideas, you’ll be nothing but happy with their work. Check it out here!

We got this for one cat, a second decided it was hers. What can you do? But, it kind of fits my mood the day after Thanksgiving! I SHOULD be getting stuff done, but, alas, the cat reflects my wants!

Cheers, everyone! An happy holiday season!!

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!

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!

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
