I did the list of what I have to do this year and already feel overwhelmed, won’t lie. I have to get Quest out this year, but I won’t push to have it out for the book events. People don’t tend to buy the second book unless they are already a fan, so I willContinueContinue reading “2026 is already stressful”

It’s almost Christmas time….
Well, it’s almost December. I am behind on Quest because of losing my car to a deer. Everyone is fine, even the stupid deer, but not my car. Another financial burden my family did not need. I hope at least by the end of next week to be done with the first round of editsContinueContinue reading “It’s almost Christmas time….”
This is Halloweeeen 2025
I sold 9 books in total at Applefest! I was surprised that I didn’t sell more, but it was still a good amount. Made no profit in the end with the total sales I’ve done this year, but still at least got them out there. Now if I could just get reviews…sigh. I am doingContinueContinue reading “This is Halloweeeen 2025”
Applfest!!!
One of my favorite events of the year is coming in fast! I will be in front of the Franklin Public Library from 10 am to about 4 pm. It will depend on the amount of traffic and/or whether I sell out. At about 2:30 pm, I will read the prologue from Destiny, so ifContinueContinue reading “Applfest!!!”
Petfest Saturday
Last post before Petfest! I will be in the Bandstand Park in Franklin, PA, this Saturday, September 13th, 2025. I will have copies of Never Alone and Destiny’s Call to Arms in both paperback and hardcover. I will not have the rubber ducks or Edgar or my little dragon because there will be lots ofContinueContinue reading “Petfest Saturday”
Golden
Well, sort of. I was more on the sunburned side, but everything went pretty well at the Oil City Festival of the Book. Sold 3 copies of Destiny, which is on par with what I sold last year (though that was 3 copies of Never Alone). It did not seem as busy as last year,ContinueContinue reading “Golden”
Vindication with my Napalm era
Yes, I finally watched it. I’ll talk about in Pop culture corner. The paperback is up as I had already posted. It was on their end, as I had thought from the beginning. Shock. I am still salty, for I had told them that the files from the hardcover had gone through the same changesContinueContinue reading “Vindication with my Napalm era”

This month just keeps getting worse
It’s been a month since Destiny came out, and my paperback is still not available. I am becoming increasing furious with this self-publishing company. It keeps claiming errors with the files that are impossible because there were only two changes made, and the errors they are claiming are impossible. I do not know what IContinueContinue reading “This month just keeps getting worse”
Well they are processing…
Hello my Dragon hearts, So yeah…. I found out that KDP has a page limit of 500 pages for hardcovers. Even if I took the bonus content out, it would make no difference. Therefore, I have to go to Ingramsparks. I will not lie, I’m not fond of them for certain things, but there’s notContinueContinue reading “Well they are processing…”
