Hello everyone! Strawberry Days was a fun and interesting experience. Between the rain, lots of humidity, cute dogs, yummy lemonade, and squirrels, it was satisfying. (Picture above is a cute dragon I bought from a vendor. She is Mini FireWind and she will be a part of the display now.) By Saturday at about 10:30ContinueContinue reading “Strawberry Days wrap-up and future events”

Shipping woes
How do some places manage to stay in business… So, a fun thing happened with a certain big online company. I ordered 5 copies of Never Alone for the upcoming Strawberry Festival. This is what I got: All five copies were in separate boxes. One had no packing, while another was in a box tooContinueContinue reading “Shipping woes”
Quick Updates…
Wanted to drop a few things: 1) Spent a bit yesterday to create a map for book 3 (because of being referenced in book 2). It’s not perfectly done, but it’s enough for now.

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”
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”
