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”

Recap: Christmas in July
. This past weekend, July 19th and 20th, I attended the first annual Christmas in July Vendor Fair in Grandview, MO. And as usual when I make an appearance somewhere, it’s nice to take a moment to reflect on lessons learned which can be applied to future endeavors.
Reminder: Christmas in July This Weekend!
Just a quick reminder to everybody that I’ll be at the first annual Christmas in July vendor fair in Grandview, MO this weekend. All info is on the flyer, including the vendor list (I’m listed under my publisher’s name). Hope to aee some of you there!
Plans for July
June was a busy month, though with what at times I couldn’t say. It started off with my setup Carry Nation Days and ended in a mad dash to prepare things for the upcoming month of July, which was mostly successful. July will be a grand month, I can just feel it. Once again KnightsContinue reading “Plans for July”

Vending at a Street Fair
This weekend, I attempted my first ever street fair, and I am happy to say it was a surprising success! I confess, I underestimated the literary interest of the audience to which I was selling, which made what was essentially a single-day event (the three hours Friday evening were largely rained out) somewhat profitable. But,Continue reading “Vending at a Street Fair”
Plans for June
May was every bit the full month I had predicted. Not only was progress made on several manuscripts, but I took an actual week’s vacation and attended Belton, Missouri’s first annual Carry A. Nation Days event (where I will still be until 8:00 tonight!). June will probably be a quieter month by comparison, but preparationsContinue reading “Plans for June”

TFF 2024: A Retrospective
It is one week since I returned from Texas Furry Fiesta, an anthro animal-themed convention hosted annually in Dallas by Creature Arts, which was my second ever live appearance as an author/bookseller. Having had time to reflect on this whirlwind expedition, I have come to a few conclusions, which I will share in this week’sContinue reading “TFF 2024: A Retrospective”
Plans for March
Well, February was certainly a packed month. Between some major manuscript checking, ordering stock for my appearance at Texas Furry Fiesta, and other sundry progress, I feel it was an accomplished month indeed. Here in March, I am hoping to build on that progress, and of course to see just how I can do atContinue reading “Plans for March”
