Print Editions: FARLEY

Journeymen of Stone. Some of you have been asking. Yes, I do have copies of Farley, which has also recently released in both print & audio formats. These books are *thick* and they have full-color illustrations, which added to the printing costs, so I’ve nudged up the price by a few dollars. If you want to nab a signed copy from me, it’ll be $30 (includes shipping in the US).

In-stock, but limited quantities! I currently have…

8 copies available!

Personal Touches

Inky Fingers. Interested in signed copies of my books? Lord Mettlebright’s Man (which includes Suuzu and the Nine Nippets of Legend) is available. The stamp for Suuzu’s story features Boniface’s exasperation over his little brother’s oh, so charming ways.

Booked Solid

Coop was excited for their trip all the way up until Daroo warned them how long it would take to get passports.

“But that’s months! We’ll miss Dichotomy Day!”

“That was never an option.” Dad passed him a brochure. “Four-hour bus tours are booke...

Even Though

Coop’s voice cracked when he asked, “Where’re we going?”

With a little half-smile, his dad came through. “Wardenclave.”

He whooped and lunged.

Dad caught him and hugged him tight. “The world’s bigger than our backyard. Who knows? Maybe someda...

No Shirt, No Shoes

Coop spread the red wagon—in pieces—on weathered plywood. His bare feet were grubby. The sun felt good on his back. Grease got under his nails. And he couldn’t have been happier.

Well, maybe a little happier.

Ever since Daroo...

Coop 009: Among the Trellises

Among the Trellises

Dad was up the step ladder, Rose on the rung above his, safe in the circle of his arms. “Angle it more,” he coached. “That’s the way. Now… snip.”

Dad had planted that climbing rose in honor of Rose’s first birthday. Ev...

Print Editions

Lord Mettlebright’s Man‘s print edition will release on July 22, just a couple of days from now. I just spied it on Amazon, so if you’re planning to buy the book through an online bookseller, you can probably pre-order! Very exciting.

Typesetting this book was a unique challenge. 700 mini-chapters … and then the short story, which has its own layout and Table of Contents. The results are very pretty!

My own print editions are ordered, but it’ll probably be at least a week be...

Pokemon GO!

Vivillon Patterns. Every so often, I’ll remind followers that I’m a pokemon trainer. ::twinkle:: Since I just completed the Vivillon collection challenge this morning, I thought I’d brag a bit & see if anyone needs a friend. I play daily, participate in raids, and send gifts from the High Plains region.

I added the elusive Sandstorm patterned Vivillon to my collection thanks to a new friend in Jerusalem. ::blows kiss::

If you also play Pokemon GO, drop me an email with your friend...
