Event:
Second Friday, Mesa
I love starting with a thank you! Mesa Second Friday was
great as usual and especially so because I missed the past two months and
because so many friends made it out this month. Thanks goes out to Patti, and Don for arranging the booth and
always being the best publishers I have had privilege to work with. To ChetShupe for being a great photographer and great friend!
It was great to see Raymond again and to have Commodore Max finally available to press-gang new readers. And, a warm
welcome goes out to Shelbie and Tiny from the Rocky Horror Picture Show, FilmBar crew! Thank you for supporting piracy!
Book News:
Fresh Blood books are nearly sold out as far as those I have
on hand, not to be ordered again until next Halloween season.
The final edits to Trolls will be done in time for release
in December! Finally! I am so excited about this book and nervous at the same
time. This one is very dear to me and I am deeply hoping it is well received. I
can’t wait until more readers join Emily and the trolls on their adventures through
the world under the bridges, to rescue the Queen of the Trolls and face off
against the Witch Arakne.
And now a couple pieces of sad news. I will not be able to
participate in NaNoWriMo this year, for the first time since
2003. It is a pleasure to know that so many of my young writer friends are
giving it a go though. Shout out to Hunter, Bri, Joe, Jenn and Frank! I am with
you in spirit NaNoWarriors! My alternative is to promise more blogs during this
time and in the future, I realize I have been slacking off due to other
priorities.
And, of course, there is Max’s Despair that is fast becoming
mine. For those still anxiously awaiting the next installment of The DREAD
Fleet series, I am still working on it and we are getting closer. I promise it
will be worth the wait, if that helps ease the frustration.
Thank you to everyone, readers and writers alike! You
energize me when I am feeling overwhelmed or slacking off and I love reading
your work always too!
