“Oh say does that star-spangled banner yet wave / O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave“
Happy 250th birthday to the United States of America! It’s been a ride making it this far, and many challenges no doubt lie ahead. But for now, have a safe, fun Independence Day, all, and I’ll see you with my first substantial post of the month on Thursday!
Plans for July
June turned out to be a very productive month in spite of many factors. Progress on the Knights series was excellent, with incremental accomplishments elsewhere. Still no further translation work, sadly.
July will continue to build on the foundations set up in June. However, with many extraneous tasks out of the way, productivity should be even greater. In particular, I’d like to give a once over to Knights of Aralia Book VI (Book V: Vengeance of Darkness will be going on pre-order later this week for those who’ve been following that project), finish typing up Sauragia 3, and perhaps begin drafting work on another side project of mine. On a side note, happy Canada Day, and I hope you all are looking forward to a grand celebration this Saturday!
Happy Father’s Day!
To all you dutiful dads out there, thanks for all the love and guidance you give to your children. You’re the best!
Plans for June
May was a good month. Not as productive as I’d hoped–certainly not as spectacular as April. However,
Happy Memorial Day!
Under current conditions, you may or may not be doing anything to mark this day as the “official” start of the summer season. Whatever the case, let us take a moment today to remember those who have given their all to defend this country and her principles, both at home and abroad. God bless, and have a wonderful day.
Happy Mother’s Day!
For those fortunate enough to still have their moms, remember to tell her how much you appreciate her. For those less fortunate, let us take a moment to reflect on all the wonderful memories.
Plans for May
April was an extremely busy month. Between my last-minute acceptance as a vendor at a local craft show (less than two weeks after returning from Dallas) to fantastic progress on several projects, I would say it was overall a great success. And perhaps the biggest achievement of all? Yes, I finally did it: after 5 years, the rough draft of Sauragia: The Saltrak’s Revenge is now complete!
May could be interesting, though I don’t expect it to be as spectacular for a number of reasons. That said, I will proceed to type up my new Sauragia manuscript, do some reviewing work on K. O. A. (Book V is scheduled for release this December, by the way), and who knows what else? After the chaos of April, I’m looking forward to a more relaxed May, perhaps with some nice warm weather for a change.
Another Small-town Affair
Last weekend, I appeared at Belton, Missouri’s annual Spring Craft Show at the High Blue Wellness Center. Not exactly the kind of place one would expect to go searching for books, but there was a last-minute opening, so I decided to take the chance.

A couple weekends ago, I was once again a vendor for two days in the Artist Alley of Texas Furry Fiesta. Like last year, I was once again selected for Friday and Sunday dealing, but the results, as so often in this business, were quite different…

He is risen!
Happy Easter Sunday, all. May the promise of salvation and eternal life be forever a ray of hope in troubled times. Have a blessed day.
