No Rest for the Wicked

I’m a bit late on updating after my first in-person book event. It was, as far as I’m concerned, a smashing success. The book fest boasted fifty-four authors in total spread out over two locations and the sheer amount of love and attention my table got was amazing. The weather was great. Sales exceeded my expectations, although I’ll be honest I wasn’t sure what to expect. The Black Feather Press team (Derrick, myself, and our son) nailed execution and presentation and we even evolved our setup in real time. Huge thanks to everyone who bought my books, stopped at my table to check them out, and took away cards to check me out later! The whole thing was such a confidence boost that I’m ready to do it again.

Do it again I will. I have registered for a small local convention on April 26th. Local folks can find me vending at the Merritt Square Mall Con from 10 am – 5 pm. Although this is not a book-centric event, I’m positive the con goers will be my tribe. I’m just as excited to be a part of it as I was for the book fest.

In other news, among preparations for converting my setup from a three-foot table to an eight-foot table, apprenticing with my editor, and life obligations, the Sevina Gate project is still simmering. Because we have been very busy, progress on it is slow but we are moving forward. I have made the first official art drop into the manuscript and I adore it so much. Just look at it.

That’s Niko. He looks so bothered, doesn’t he? I adore that character so much.

I think that’s about all the news for now. Check back soon. Thanks!
