So what else is coming this month?

Hammer and Anvil

Hammer and Anvil arrives on October 24th.

You can still pre-order your copy of the book for only $0.99!

The paperback is available now!

I think it might be my favorite Soriya Greystone adventure yet. I’m a little biased but each books in the series seems to come a little more natural to me. As if she was always meant to be in the world.

The Gifts of Kali is coming along and I’ve started piecing together how the trilogy ends. After that? Well, there’s still Greystone Books 6 through 10 to work on…

Lots more Soriya and Loren to come in the future. I hope you enjoy the start of this new adventure.

Is that it?

Yeah. I think it is for this month. Next month, there will be a free book promo and a couple local appearances. I’ll be talking about these in the Writing Update later this month!

Happy Reading!

Writing Update – March 15, 2018

By

It’s been a light month for me so far. Lots of good distractions, however, I’ve persisted in getting a small jump on next year’s big project.

Writing Update

Next year’s project turns from the novel approach to a more episodic nature. There is some of that in Greystone, threads weaving throughout the series, but for this next endeavor I’ve tried to really tighten up the narrative so that each piece provides a full story yet propels the overall arc forward to the following chapter in rapid fire delivery.

Will it work? I hope so!

To dive in, I’ve outlined the six episodes that will comprise the inaugural “season” of the series. First, I plotted them separately then began to filter in the connective tissue that ties everything together and leaves readers wanting a second season.

Tons more prep work involved before getting to the down and dirty part of writing, however, I’m enjoying exploring this new world and the possibilities it provides.

Convention Season!

That’s right! Convention season is upon us and I am taking part in my first one ever one month from today!

The Buffalo Comicon is Sunday, April 15, 2018 from 10 am until 5 pm at the Buffalo Niagara Marriott at 1240 Millersport Highway, Amherst NY 14221!

I will be there with books galore and am happy to sign your edition with my signature flair. Please tell me if sarcasm is unnecessary or if it is preferred. (I’ll do whatever I want anyway…)

The Buffalo show is the first convention I ever attended as a kid and is a great place to pick some cool books and meet some incredible folks. Very much looking forward to seeing you there!

Reading

I won’t bore you with the X-Men reading I’ve been binging on this time around. (1986 was a great year for mutant books… just saying.)

I’m hoping to finish off my winter reading list next week and will be sharing my thoughts next update!
