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.Continue reading “Plans for December”

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 haveContinue reading “Guest Post: Literary Corners: Designing a Functional Home Office in Limited Quarters”
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 thisContinue reading “Cozy Times at Leavenworth’s Indoor Holiday Market”

Prairie Heat and Tractors: Vending at Peculiar Oktoberfest
On this week’s episode of I find out so you don’t have to: Peculiar Oktoberfest Vendor Fair! There is much to say about this event from a bookseller’s standpoint, and I will do my best to cram it all in here.
Plans for October
September was an extremely successful month, beginning with my final day of vending at TTFC! After my return, I made great progress on long overdue projects, and managed to see most through to completion. I also laid out important production plans for the rest of the year and beyond. This October, I plan to putContinue reading “Plans for October”
Vending Back-to-Back Weekends Part 2: TTFC
Last week I reviewed my experiences as a vendor in the Artist Alley at DenFur 2024, so take a look at that post first if you haven’t already. This week, I’ll be talking about my vending experience in the Artist Alley at Tails & Tornadoes Fur Con 2024, which took place in Tulsa, OK overContinue reading “Vending Back-to-Back Weekends Part 2: TTFC”
Vending Back-to-Back Weekends Part 1: DenFur
I have often wondered what life would be like relying on my writing alone and just how much effort it would be compared to the reward gained. This August had got a little taste of that, having vended at two conventions on two consecutive weekends: DenFur (Denver, CO, August 23rd-25th) and Tails & Tornadoes FurContinue reading “Vending Back-to-Back Weekends Part 1: DenFur”
Plans for September
Apologies for another late posting, but the latter half of August has been a whirlwind of activity, as expected. Between vending at two back-to-back conventions (the subjects of an upcoming blog post or two), staying briefly at a mountain lodge, and all the days of travel in between, there had been little to no timeContinue reading “Plans for September”
Plans for August
July has been a long, fairly quiet month. Unfortunately the first week was a bit hectic, and it never truly recovered, though progress was made throughout, particularly on the Knights of Aralia as hoped. Christmas in July was perhaps the biggest highlight, despite the modest returns (see my recap here). Nevertheless, I applied to vendContinue reading “Plans for August”
