Hey, hey! I know I\u2019ve been kinda quiet of late\u2014did ya miss me?\u2014but I\u2019ve been pretty busy over the last couple of months, and the summer shows no sign of slowing down.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what\u2019s up:<\/p>\n

\"\"I\u2019ve signed up for a Blurb Blitz blog tour (say THAT three times fast) with Goddess Fish Promotions<\/a>. The tour starts Monday June 5, featuring Enthe\u00f3phage on a different blog every day for the rest of the month! Some of those blogs will offer the opportunity for visitors to comment, so I\u2019ll be lurking those days (after work on my workdays) to answer questions or comments any of you might have. Here\u2019s the schedule<\/a>, with links to each and every blog stop on the tour. Stop by if you can, say hello, and show some love to these bloggers who support indie authors!<\/p>\n

\"\"On June 9 at 6:30 p.m. ET, I\u2019ll be featured in the #ReadLocalShow<\/a> on Toi Thomas\u2019s YouTube channel<\/a>. Toi is an amazing hostess whose support of indie authors is awesome, and I had a lot of fun talking with her. I\u2019ll also be watching when the interview goes live<\/a>, so if you want to stop by and ask questions or offer comments, I\u2019ll be there to respond. Toi\u2019s YouTube channel is chock-full of bookish and other fun stuff. Be sure to check it out!<\/p>\n

Then, later this summer, I\u2019ll be \u201cappearing\u201d on the Determination, Deliberation, and Dragons<\/a> podcast. The episode is set to go live on August 15 at 7:01 a.m. ET. Peter, my host, asked lots of great questions including, \u201cHow do you train a dragon?\u201d Fun! DDD posts a new podcast about every two weeks with interviews, workshops, and more. Definitely worth a look!<\/p>\n

That’s all the events and appearances for now. BUT WAIT…<\/p>\n

Book one in The Founder\u2019s Seed is still with the proofreader, and I\u2019m about to begin changes on book 2. Book 3 is still with beta readers; I hope to begin editing that one by the end of this summer.<\/p>\n

Also?<\/p>\n

Beta readers are always welcome! If you would like to read some of my work ahead of the masses and are willing to provide creative feedback and completed questionnaires on a schedule, drop me a note. Let\u2019s chat!<\/p>\n

That\u2019s all for now. If you\u2019re on my mailing list, you already know all this since this schedule and info came directly to your inbox. And if you aren\u2019t on my mailing list, why not? Subscribers get first access to unpublished short stories, sneak peaks at chapters, articles about sustainability, and fresh news before anyone else.
