Part of the fun in being a fantasy author is making your word processor's spellcheck hate you.

Had a good time in East Tawas, Michigan over the weekend! If you weren't able to attend the books are available on Amazon and copies will be being added to the Iosco-Arenac District Library's collection for patrons to check out.

Getting ready for an author fair!
Tumblr media
Getting ready for an author fair I have coming up in June (it'll be in East Tawas, Michigan if you happen to be in that area) and decided to redesign my bookmarks! Above is the old design and here are the new ones!
Bookmark #1:

Bookmark #2:

I could use your thoughts on bookmark #2 though! I have to choose between five different versions for the front side of the bookmarks and I'm not quite sure which to go with. So far, my favorite is the last one on the right which is from the book's back cover. Which version of the front do you like best though?

Okay, question for the readers of Tumblr! Where do you like to get your books from? Do you use Kindle Unlimited?
I'm currently debating whether to keep my books in Kindle Unlimited or not so I'm curious what everyone else's thoughts are right now on Amazon.

Finally starting to find my writing momentum again after getting hit by burnout out in mid-December. Not back up to full speed yet, but it's nice to be writing again.

Less then 10k left to write and I'll back to my original word count from before my book file corrupted!! Then, on to actually finishing this book after over seven long years of writing (and five of rewriting) it.

Today marks 7 years since the release of my first book! Woohoo! So, for the fun of it, I tried my hand at making a 'book trailer' for it in Canva. Also, the ebook will be on a Kindle Countdown sale on Amazon starting today (Sept. 13th) and slowly making its way back to full price on Sept. 20th. Link above.

A short bonus story for From the Ashes is not available on my Substack newsletter! The Letter is a prequel story and, if you haven't read my young adult, high fantasy, Cinderella retelling that it goes along with yet, the link and info for it will be at the bottom of the post. There are also downloadable versions available for The Letter.

I don't know about you, but I love etymology! Thus, I have a regular feature on my newsletter about the origin and history behind different words and idioms. If you like that sort of thing too, hope you'll give my newsletter a visit!
