Alright alright!! TIME FOR A COVER REVEAL! I am setting a publication date for Dragon Riders of Old for SEPTEMBER 10th!! This is my first STAND ALONE novel, and if you have been following along - this is the one I am dripping out over on Substack! This is a thing of Beauty:

Stan is amazing! If you have a few bucks to spare, please do.
As much as it pains me to have to post this or even ask for help. I could use your help with my fundraiser on GoFundMe. Please share, support, or donate—every small action counts. gofundme.com/f/rally-for-st…
Number 3 on the Dark Fantasy best seller category, and still number 2 for best selling box set over on Smashwords! Still another week to get my first two books for free in eBook form by going off Amazon platform!

So I have been reading some Middle-Grade Fantasy this week, and you are not kidding @ImperatorErebus there seems to be basically one formula being applied to ALL these stories.
Then why is Traverse City and Petoskey like 80% retirees?
A little revisit to the end of chapter 1 of Bonds of Scale since I just went through an edit of it last week!

I genuinely wonder if the people in the comments are saying how loud and annoying babies are, have spent time with one for any extent in real life? I have had 3 so far, and I can safely say that the baby phase is the best time to pack them out and about to restaurants because…
I posted a new review for @CKKesterson for Heroes of Valhalla. If you guys have not, it's worth tossing on that TBR stack!

Great video. I want sales, but it’s not about the money. I see my "vocation" as a writer a lot like how I saw my stint in the horse industry. I became an instructor and a professional trainer. I invested BOAT TONS of cash into riding lessons, clinics, expos, shows, and equipment…
"Writer" isn't one specific thing and "writing" isn't done for just one reason. If your writing is a vocation (rather than a profession), then how do you define success? Today's video is for you.
Someone was very happy HER stuffed Lorcan made it home!

Last day! It has been fun to meet so many new people and talk to people about my books but also self-publishing, and all I have learned is the school of hard knocks style!

So the thing I have learned from this event is that parents REALLY want middle-grade fantasy. I feel like I have a pretty good opportunity to explore that if I can think up the tale.
