Hello and welcome, my friends! It’s hard to believe we’ve made it through all the holidays and it’s already the middle of January. I took a bit of a creative break over said holidays – well, almost. On New Year’s Eve, Aleister (from my Order of Crows series) decided we were going to work on book 3 revisions and it has been full steam ahead since then. I’m almost finished with this round and the third book is looking a bit different than its first version, which isn’t a bad thing. Not at all.
I’m still on track to release the sequel to The Nameless later this year. The twins have been in time out much longer than expected, but I think one more pass on the manuscript for revisions and that bad boy will be ready for the editor. The cover is already scheduled and, from there, it will be all the fun (read sarcasm) technical stuff that goes into a book release.
That’s not even my most exciting news. I’ve been side eying social media a lot lately. The landscape – should I say internet scape? – is changing once again. Social migrating seems like a lot of work, building a new following, learning new apps, etc. While it’s impossible to swear them off completely as an indie artist, I’ve decided a more personal community might be at hand. I’m not popular enough for places like Patreon, but I thought why not try something different? So I’ve created a Discord channel. Anyone interested in talking writing, other creative ventures, book news, or getting to know me better is welcome. I’m not sure how this new idea will pan out, and I won’t know until I try. So (drum roll) please join me on Discord!
