Got plans for this weekend? No?

Then come check out the Connecticut Renaissance Faire in Lebanon, CT! It’s Fantasy & Romance Weekend this weekend, which will feature a wedding vow renewal ceremony on Saturday and a fantasy creature costume contest on Sunday, along with great shows throughout the day both days.

And, as if you needed another reason to go, I’m the featured guest author on Saturday! This will be the big debut for the print edition of Well-Behaved Women – Awakening, and I’ll of course have copies of Action Figures, The Adventures of Strongarm & Lightfoot, and Cheap Thrills Digest available.

You can find the author nook in the shady lane area, which is to your right upon entering the faire site. It’s down on the left near the Shady Emporium. I’ll have a table set up all day, and between 1 and 2:30 PM I’ll be there to sign books and meet fans. Other than that, I’ll be running around portraying General Gaspard de Saulx as part of the show’s main scenario.

In other time-sensitive news, this is your final week to grab the Heroes & Villains superhero novel box set!

The e-book set includes Action Figures – Issue One: Secret Origins and will be available through September. This collection also includes Hero Status by Kristen Brand, Super by Karen Diem, Morning Sun by Jeremy Flagg, Supervillain High by Gerhard Gehrke, Wearing the Cape by Marion G. Harmon, Serpent’s Sacrifice by Trish Heinrich, Fuse – Origin by David Neth, The Kota by Sunshine Somerville, and Sidekick – The Red Raptor Files Part One by Christopher J. Valin.

Buy it now for just $2.99 on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or Kobo!

WRITING PROJECTS

Well-Behaved Women: Work on draft one of book three is moving along nicely, and I am creeping toward the climax. I’ve passed the 56,000 word mark, and I suspect I will be adding a lot of material to draft two to expand the story. I’ve also put the call out for narrators for an audiobook version of Awakening, which I plan to have out by the start of the holiday shopping season.

The Going Rate for Penance – Editing phase complete, on-track for a February 2019 release.

The Adventures of Strongarm & Lightfoot – book four: First draft in progress.

Action Figures – Issue Eight: Crawling from the Wreckage: Fourth draft written. Tentatively scheduled for a February/March 2019 release.

Action Figures – Issue Nine: Hell Hath No Fury: First draft in progress.

Action Figures – Issue One: Secret Origins (audiobook): Review completed, final editing in progress.
