This past weekend, I attended my last live appearance of the year at St. John LaLande’s annual Christmas Bazaar in Blue Springs, Missouri. It took place in the school gymnasium, and was definitely one of the cozier events I’ve been to this year. But was it worthwhile?Continue reading “Holiday Vibes at a Christmas Bazaar”
!!! Book Release: ‘Knights of Aralia Book III’ !!!
This morning I am thrilled to announce the official release of the next book in my latest series: Knights of Aralia Book III: The Return of Hope! For those of you who have pre-ordered already, my sincerest thanks, and I truly hope you enjoy the continuation of this epic series as much as I enjoyed writing it. For those who have not but want to know more, go take a look at its page here.
Cyber Monday Sale!
Today only, all my e-book titles are just $0.99 from select retailers! If you haven’t yet added any of my titles to your e-library, this might be as good a chance as any.
Plans for December
November was one pretty amazing month for me from start to finish! Not only did I have a lovely time at the Indoor Holiday Market in Leavenworth, but my next Knights of Aralia book went on pre-order, I signed up for one more live event in December, and made great strides in other future projects.
Here at the start of December, I am in a pretty good position to wrap up a most eventful year in very neat fashion. There’s still a lot to be done, beginning with the launch of Knights of Aralia Book III on the 6th, followed by my final live appearance of the year at the Christmas Bazaar in Blue Springs, MO on the 7th and 8th (come see me if you can!). Some more progress on certain drafts (including finishing up Knights of Aralia Book IIII and Sauragia 3) are in the works as well, and the cherry on top would be if I could finally finish up a long-outstanding translation project. Either way, I am determined to clear the deck this December, and thereby allow myself to start with a clean slate in 2025!
Also, don’t miss tomorrow’s Cyber Monday Sale: just 99¢ (or equivalent) for all e-books!
Small Business Saturday Sale!
Today only, you can get any print book for 50% off via my site or my publisher’s exclusively. This includes signed editions, so head on over to my books page today!
Also, I will be vending at the annual Christmas Bazaar in Blue Springs, MO next weekend (Dec. 7th and 8th)! I’ll be behind the Bluedrake Books booth with all my titles, including possibly a few copies of the newest Knights of Aralia book…
Happy Thanksgiving!
Have a wonderful day with family and friends, and don’t overstuff yourself too much!
Guest Post: Literary Corners: Designing a Functional Home Office in Limited Quarters
This week, I once more welcome back guest-poster Christopher Haymon of Adulting Digest. Many of us writers have very small areas designated specifically for our writing use, assuming we have any at all. In this post, Mr. Haymon will discuss how to get the maximum use out of the minimal space we so often have to work with.Continue reading “Guest Post: Literary Corners: Designing a Functional Home Office in Limited Quarters”
Best Reads of the Year List!
Howdy all! It’s that time again. Every year, Shepherd.com asks authors (and readers) to share their 3 favorite reads of the year on their site, along with a brief explanation of what made each book so great. Published authors also have the option to submit one book of their own to feature alongside each list, which makes this a unique and free opportunity for authors to promote their work and the work of others via recommendation by other authors! If you’re interested in this, go check them out by all means. In the meantime, here’s my list:
Also, Knights of Aralia Book III: The Return of Hope is finally on pre-order as well! For more info, visit the book’s page here. Thanks!
Happy Veterans’ Day!
It is 106 years since the ceasefire that effectively ended WWI, but we have not forgotten. At least, a few of us haven’t. To those who give their all to keep this country safe, my heartfelt thanks. God bless, and have a wonderful Armistice Day.
Cozy Times at Leavenworth’s Indoor Holiday Market
On Saturday, November 2nd, I made what may well be my final live appearance of the year at the annual Indoor Christmas Market in Leavenworth, KS. It ran for a mere 6 hours from 10:00A.M. to 4:00P.M., but it was truly a breath of fresh air after my last three appearances in October. At this point, you’ve heard plenty about my experiences at live venues, so I’ll try to sum this one up as briefly as I can.Continue reading “Cozy Times at Leavenworth’s Indoor Holiday Market”
