Holiday Updates 📚🦃🌲😍🔥

Hi friends! I know it’s been a few weeks since I’ve written, but don’t worry, I’m here, and I have a lot to tell you! I’ll send another update coming out, probably on Sunday.

First of all, for those of you who celebrate, happy turkey week. If you so indulge, I hope you eat all your favorite foods. If like me, you’re taking on a different type of holiday week, have an amazing time! When I was in the Peace Corps, I remember how weird it was on Thanksgiving week when it was just like any other week. Why would people in Papua New Guinea care about our Thanksgiving!

Well, I’m not working on Thursday, but the family is eating pizza, not anything traditional.

So, what big announcements do I have for you?

First of all, on December 20th and 21st, I’ll be part of The Big Gay Holiday Market, in Madison, WI. I’m so excited to be part of this event! I hope that if you’re anywhere near Madison, you’ll consider coming out to support me and others in the market.

For those of you interested in book gifts for Christmas, there is a stuff your … bookshelf! event. From December 2nd through the 7th, the fantasy site is promoting paperback. It will link each book to stores as well as author websites. The goal is to promote books for gifts.

Backing up through the calendar a bit more, on December 1st, I’ll be doing a facebook author party. If you are on facebook, and want to join The Reading Lounge, you could win lots of fun items.

Throughout the day, different authors will be celebrating Brandee Paschall, who has a new book coming out. They will be sharing about themselves and their books, and most will have prizes. I’ll be doing my bit at 7 – 7:30 Central Standard, so Chicago’s time. I’ll be highlighting all my books, but the giveaway will be Veiled Phoenix … or any of my books the winner s interested in.

So, that’s three big events … are there more? I’m hosting a white elephant this month, but I’m not sure that’s all that important.

To give you some reasons why I haven’t had many newsletters go out, I’ve been doing a lot of events. I’ve gone to Kenosha, I even did a craft fair in a mall in Illinois. That may have been the worst idea yet. People in malls seem to take books sellers as a personal offence. I went with author A.R. Grimes, and we were both baffled.

We took a self created challenge to see how many people we could complement. It was interesting seeing different people’s reactions.

Well, I hope you all are well. Drop a comment if you think I missed anything or you have any questions. Otherwise, I’ll get another of these out mid exam 3, possibly before….

Cheers!

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!

So Many Good Books!

I love to bring you good books! Today I have so many!

I am currently reading Blasted Research by Coffee Quills. I am almost half way through reading this gem of a book, and it is fantastic. Jules, our hero, lives in a dome in this post apocalyptical future. The premise of the story is excellent, but I also wanted to read this book because of the use of the neo-pronouns xe/xem, it intrigued me. In books 4 – 6 of Jade Stone I do introduce they/them characters, but his is so much more.

In the dome, everyone is required to marry and have kids. Jules doesn’t want to pair off. This is only one of the story arcs. Xe is also asked to travel out of the dome to help gather materials to test the radiation.

The story is fast paced, and the characters are fun. If you want to check out Coffee Quill, they have a website, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and so much more!

Another book I love just came out this month: Romancing Celia by Parker Love. It is the second book in this series. It is a sweet, sapphic, fade to black romance that takes place in the Wild West.

In this book, the characters take a path of discovery to learn who they are, and what they are willing to do to live the life they feel in their heart. In Ann’s case, she knows who she is and who she loves, but she also understands what happens if a community doesn’t approve. For Celia, it is a story of growth into the person she wants to be and learning who she loves.

The last book I want to feature is Wylding Snare by A. R. Grimes. I talked about this book before, but in case you missed that newsletter, it is a fun-filled high fantasy/portal fantasy that comes out in a few weeks! On September 10th, when it arrives to Amazon, I hope you’ll take a chance on it. The author, like me, spends a lot of time creating fun loving characters who you just can’t help but love.

As always, I, myself, have three books out in the Jade Stone Chronicles series. If you haven’t read them, I’d love for you to check them out. If you have read them, please drop a review, tell a friend, or share on social media! The fourth book, Traitor, comes out in December and is available to pre-order now. This year has been a whirlin of crazy… so exciting! I think you for your continued support.

Cheers!
