Happy Blog Monday!
So much has been going on in my world lately, that I have
gotten a bit behind scheduled.
First, the Harlem Days Festival went very well. My banner turned out very nice. I sold a handful of books, and met a lot of
new people. I also had the privilege of
meeting author, Tom Nelson. He is the author
of three historical fantasy books titled: The Paladin Callendro, The Winds Wharhalen, and a new book Warrior of the Dusk.
We had about two hours to talk shop and chat. I can honestly say he is a very interesting fellow and I enjoyed
my time spent at the author meet and greet all the more as I had someone talk
with.
Second, I am happy to announce that my quest for a radio
interview has come to fruition. I have
made it through all stages of the process, and completed the interview. If you are interested in having a listen, all
you need to do is go The Children's Author Show on August 29-30, 2012. I will be listed in the “ON AIR” box. Just give it a click and turn up the speakers. It was a fun interview and although I talk
really fast and say the word BOOK a little funny to my ears, it was worth the
effort. Now I can say I have at least
completed one of my goals on promotion this year.
Third, I am finishing up the final, last, totally complete
edit of Shadows End and then my good people, it goes to production! Yay!
I have been working with the cover artist as well to complete the
cover. So much to do in order to get it
out and published. Stay tuned for a
release date. I expect late September
or Early October. I am not certain
exactly at this moment. I will see if
its posted yet and let you all know.
Fourth and finally, I am excited to announce that I have
been invited to attend the Kentucky Book Fair on November 10, 2012. Woo Hoo!
I am very excited as I like the book fairs and festivals. As I don’t know if I can attend the Tucson
Festival again this year due to our competition schedule I really wanted to get
into Kentucky. Not sure yet what I will
be doing at the festival as of yet, but I am sure they will let me know when
they can. For more information you can
go Kentucky Book Fair or Kentucky Book Fair Face Book Page.
This week I will finish catching up and next week should be back to normal, or whatever will pass for normal anyway with my schedule. Have a great week everyone!

Can't wait to hear your interview! Looks like a neat site that. Do you what sort of audience they get there? Is it all kids? Did you actually go there or do it over the phone? How does that work?
ReplyDeleteYou're on fire. And how great you got to meet a fellow author. Historical fantasy sounds intriguing. I'll have to check that out.
Impressive y'are. :) Congrats on your upcoming book release (can't wait to have my final copy of the trilogy)!
I have tried to find out the audience and its a lot of authors (go figure) but its also a lot of parents looking for books for their children. I dont know about the other author show audiences but that is a good view for the Children's Show.
DeleteI like that word, Trilogy.

That's so awesome! I'm incredibly psyched for you.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm getting there. This writing stuff is hard...who knew?
DeleteWow! Kentucky! If you go through NJ...:D Can't wait to hear your interview. Unfortunately, I have to wait until I get home. No speakers on my computer at work. :(
ReplyDeleteLike Carrie says, "Impressive" that's definitely what you are, my friend.
I keep trying to get through NJ. One of these days I will make it. Hopefully when you have time. Life of a working writer is busy!
DeleteHope you like the interview!

Congratulations on the Kentucky Book Festival, that is so awesome. I listened to your radio interview and you did great! I know how relieved you are that it's over.
