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”

Last post for the year
Hello everyone, It’s not been a good December. There were two colossal disasters that hit the house, and a few other issues. I’m waiting to hear from a beta reader, so there’s nothing really to report on the Quest front. I am planning to drop at least a teaser for the cover in January. PopContinueContinue reading “Last post for the year”
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”
Darkest before the Dawn
I have had a long and gut retching week. My best friend passed away suddenly last week. She was pregnant, and the baby boy passed away as well. I am drowning in grief. It came out of nowhere. I am trying to hold on to the unwavering faith that she had, to work through theContinueContinue reading “Darkest before the Dawn”
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”
Festival of the Book!
Hey everyone, Last reminder for Saturday! I will have a limited number of copies of Never Alone. And the paperbacks of Destiny’s Call to Arms are the “error editions” that have the error map and other minor issues that have since been fixed, but not before they were printed. They each have a notecard withContinueContinue reading “Festival of the Book!”
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”
