MY TIME IS NOW!

Well, it’s Saturday, technically, but close enough.

That’s right, my author day at the Connecticut Renaissance Faire is October 5, and in addition to having copies of all my books available,  I’ll have available an extremely limited special package: buy the entire Well-Behaved Women trilogy and you’ll receive a free code for the audiobook version on Audible for the low price of $32 — a $25 savings over the retail price of the three books and the audiobook!

And on Sunday, the faire will welcome Kim Headlee (The Dragon’s Dove Chronicles).

WRITING PROJECTS

Action Figures – Issue Nine: Hell Hath No Fury: Draft two is underway, and the cover art is coming along nicely! Will we see this book in late 2019 or early 2020? Stay tuned!

The Adventures of Strongarm & Lightfoot – Sworded Affairs: Second draft is with my beta readers.

Well-Behaved Women – Endtimes: Audiobook recording is DONE and audio files are undergoing final review. It should be available sometime next month!

The Adventures of Strongarm & Lightfoot – Assassins Brawl: Recording of the audiobook version is underway!

APPEARANCES & EVENTS

  • The Connecticut Renaissance Faire – Saturday, October 5, Lebanon County Fairgrounds, Lebanon, CT: I’ll be there as part of the Local Authors Series. Here’s the full line-up for the final weekend of the season:

Saturday, October 12: A.L. Davroe (The Tricksters series)

Sunday, October 13: E.A. Rappaport (The Legend of the Four Races series)

Monday, October 14: Jo Kearney (The Adventures of Amelia the Astronaut)

We’re heading into crunch time for the Connecticut Renaissance Faire this weekend. After that it’s opening weekend, and I expect my creative energy to dip a bit, which is typical during faire season. Working seven days a week for nearly two months gets exhausting. Fortunately, even if my writing time suffers, I’ll have a new audiobook project to keep my going. No complaints.

WRITING PROJECTS

Action Figures – Issue Nine: Hell Hath No Fury: I passed the halfway mark on book nine during a 12,000-word writing jag last week. Problem is, I’ve hit a rather critical plot twist earlier than anticipated. Where will this take me? Guess I’ll find out this week.

The Adventures of Strongarm & Lightfoot – Sworded Affairs: First draft completed.

Well-Behaved Women – Transition: Audiobook in final processing.
