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,Continue reading “Best Reads of the Year List!”

Plans for November

October was simultaneously a very productive but also rather disappointing month. It saw my biggest streak of live appearances ever in a single month, though not one of those appearances turned out exactly as I had hoped. October also saw a increase in blog activity (mostly recounting my experiences in the aforementioned venues). Perhaps mostContinue reading “Plans for November”

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 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”

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”
