( Listen with AI audio ) Magic, Romance, and Fantasy in the Draoithe Saga - June 28, 2024 Dear Reader, Book News First: As you all know, Ruined Lion launched on Juneteenth. I finally finished Ghostly Kingdom 's edits last week, so of course, I wanted to publish it. The launch process began on Sunday. It takes time for all the iterations of the story to be live everywhere, but I think most of them are available now. Sneaky publishing is back in full force! I've gotten two additional stories published wide in June, and I'm hoping to get a few more before summer ends. If you've been waiting, buckle up your seat belt. Summer is here, and I am in zoom mode without the shackles of the day job. Update: I figured out how to craft the book bundles on Payhip, and it's a lot of work. It's still easier than creating the box sets, so I'm going to attempt building the Kingdom Rising and the Royal Council book bundles and get those ready for sale before the end of summer

( Listen with AI audio ) What do authors read? - June 21, 2024 Dear Reader, I'm excited to announce Ruined Lion launched wide on Juneteenth. If you are in the mood for a twist in the love story sequel to Druid Ancestry and need more of Lazlo and Soraya, pick up Ruined Lion and continue the tale. I created a quote video for this story in case you want to see it. There are other videos available surrounding this and other tales in the Lyons Gate Miniseries . If you haven't subscribed to my YouTube channel, glance at it. I post all the dream oriented creative video bits there. I hope you spent your holiday reading and relaxing. I know many people celebrate summer holidays around the pool with a grill, but I prefer to read when I get the chance, even if it is pool side while the grill coddles dinner. The book-life is the only life for me. This grand hope leads me to the subject of this post. What do authors read? All authors start out reading first. We add the writing later.
