Free Book Friday June 21: It’s all downhill from here.
The first day of summer (in the Northern Hemisphere) always reminds us that the days are going to get shorter. But don’t despair, in six months they start to get longer.
For you in the south, this is already beginning, so congratulations, you win!

ARC sign up here!The story behind Free Book Friday: I’ve met many authors and readers during my time marketing, cross-promoting, and blogging. I think writers have a responsibility to inform readers about all the indie authors out there in the very crowded world of book publishing. You can’t do it alone, and why would you when you have a supportive group available?
Readers don’t just read one author – they stick with their favorite genres. Therein lies the power in cross-promotion. If one of my readers buys a book from an author I promote, then chances are there will be a reciprocal effect, or so is the hope. Do I want to boost sales? Of course I do. Do I want to boost other’s sales? Why not. It’s called karma.
Some free book offers require a newsletter sign-up, which is a small non-monetary price to pay to try out a new indie author.
Reads From StoryOrigin and BookFunnelStoryOrigin and BookFunnel allows authors to advertise their books to each other’s audience. I hope you have been able to discover a new favorite!

Thursday Thoughts: Happy Solstice!
The official northern hemisphere summer ‘pause’ of the Sun in 2024 occurs on June 20, at 4:51 p.m. EDT. Want to hear a story? Of course you do.
One day in ancient times, Eratosthenes, a scholar at the University of Lyceum in Greece, decided to make a map of the world. The next day, he decided it was too much work and applied for a job at the new library in a little place called Alexandria.
King Ptolemy III, looked over the parchment with Eratosthenes’s credentials and said, “Meh. He’ll probably work for cheap.” And was hired.
One day—still ancient, by the way— Eratosthenes was sitting on the edge of a well eating his lunch (falafel, in case you were wondering), when he noticed something.
“Hey! I told them no onions! There’s onions in here!”
He angrily plucked each one out and dropped them down the shaft of the well, when he noticed something else.
“Hey! There’s change down there!”
He looked around for a very long pole and some chewing gum. Half and hour later he had a handful of coins and was late for work.
The next day, out of a job, Eratosthenes went back to his little moneymaker. When he looked down, only to notice the sun was shining directly on the bottom, revealing to his disappointment that there were no more coins, only a few chicken bones. He stood and saw that his shadow was centered around his feet. “Interesting,” he thought, then shrugged and went to the employment office to look for another job.
Oh, he also used this information to calculate the circumference of the world to within 1000 miles. But that’s another story.

Weird Wednesday June 19: Cartoon / Doppelgangers (Part II)
Blogging and book marketing take a lot of planning. If you have theme days for your blog, you have to make sure you actually have something written (or drawn).
See where I’m going?
Yeah, no cartoon this week. I’m not home, and I didn’t draw or upload a picture, so you get a book promo graphic.
One reader said: “I can’t wait to get further in this book. I read chapter one, and I was IMMEDIATELY HOOKED!“
What do you think: Read Chapter One
Last week I featured some uncanny doppelgangers, and now I can’t stop noticing them. Another blogger informed me that apparently 1 in 10 people share a resemblance.
What about the actors, Karl Urban and Brad Pitt?
And here are two pictures of someone who isn’t who you think:
Do you know?

Tuesday Top Ten: Slightly (and no so) Painful Things
Every one has their own pain threshold, so some of these might make you just say, “Meh.”
[Full disclosure: I have never given birth, so I cannot say for certain where it would place on the list, but I’m pretty sure it trumps…well, anything I’ve experienced.]
Top Ten Slightly Painful (and not so) Things
10. Papercuts: In the days when people actually received mail, the mistake we all made over and over was sticking your finger into the poorly adheased* end and sliding it to open the envelope.
9. Sunburn: I don’t remember putting on sunscreen when I was young. Now, I always do…unless I don’t.
8. Stubbing the baby toe: How many times have I had to click that one back into place?
7. Hangnail: When left alone, it is quite benign, but we inevitably flick our finger over it and think “This time when I pull on it, I won’t feel a thing.”
Right…
6. Runner’s injuries: Usually localized in the lower extremities. Can range from the dreaded twisted ankle (“I didn’t know it could bent like that.”), to any of the leg muscles going “Poing!” during a run (Usually at the farthest point from home), to the Achilles deciding that you don’t really need to be able to walk normally.
5. Eyelash in the eye: This can stop you in your tracks as you try in vain to avoid looking like someone possessed.
4. Migraines: No joke here. It would be higher on the list but I needed funnier ones.
3. Hangovers: Thankfully I learned my lesson during my university days.
2. Bacon grease: Vegans never suffer from splattering grease burning their forearms, but is it worth it? You bet.
1. Bungee cord to the head: You secure one end. You stretch the other to attach much to far away. Yeah, you didn’t secure that end…
And the honorable mention goes to:

Music Monday: 2001
There is a radio show on CBC here in Canada that occasionally does a feature called SYNTH: Songs You Need To Hear.
Now, I can’t say to someone, “You’ll like this song” (or book for that matter) because I can’t presume that others will share my taste in music (or books), so it is safer to say, “You might like this” and if they don’t like it, so be it.
Maybe you will find a new favorite.
CBC MUSIC, Central · Mornings with CBC Music
There are a few difficult things I find about writing these music posts. First, there are too many songs to mention. I try to pick ones that bring back a memory or that I think had an impact that year (good and bad). Second, sometimes the different music charts don’t sync up. I discovered that some songs that charted in Canada, charted the year before in the US, so I might be off by a year.
2001.
No. Not that one…
The year that gave us Nickleback’s (the band you either love or hate, but probably hate) How You Remind Me.
But they didn’t make the cut, but Train does:
So does Incubus.
A couple of female vocalists:
Default didn’t make it big like Nickleback…but they should be glad they are not Nickleback.
A little Beastie, a little Blink, maybe some Bizkit, but all Canadian.
In Too Deep hit #20 in Canada, #10 in the US, and #1 on the UK rock charts.
It takes guts to do a cover of a song by a huge star. Did AAF do Smooth Criminal justice (pun not intended, but it’s a good one)? I think so.
And finally…who doesn’t remember Shrek?

The Origin of Father’s Day
The Origin of Father’s Day
Father’s Day, the much often neglected holiday (as opposed to Mother’s Day), has its beginnings over one hundred thousand years ago. Really. Due to a recent discovery deep in a cave—the location has been kept secret—we now have a transcript of that momentous day.
Oggy: Mom? Who is that stinky, hairy guy that keeps dragging in carcasses?
Mom: That’s your father, Oggy. Please be respectful. He works hard at hunting to feed us.
Oggy: Works hard?! He doesn’t hunt. I’ve seen him steal from the hyenas!
Mom: Is that so? Hmmm. That would explain the teeth marks on the femurs. Either way, he does bring us food.
Oggy: If you call rotting flesh, food. Tell him to invent fire so we can cook it, or at the very least, he could cultivate some limes so you can make ceviche.
Mom: Well, it wouldn’t hurt to thank him once and a while.
Oggy: Fine. I’ll thank him today, but that’s it.
Mom: How about every twelve times that circle in the sky is actually a circle.
Oggy: Aww, Mom. You know I can’t count past theses.
[We can only assume he holds up his fingers]
Mom: Fine. Here are some clam shells. Just go buy him a card.
True story. Now you know.
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads!

Songs for a Sunday: Billianne
I was going to do a double shot of music on Monday, but since I had nothing else planned for today, here’s something that might interest you.
How new is Billianne?
She doesn’t have a Wiki page yet. This is what I do know: She’s 20. She’s from Milton*, Ontario, and during the pandemic went viral with an acoustic cover of Tina Turner’s classic hit “The Best”.
-Leon
*This is what I know about Milton, Ontario: The Robertson head screwdriver was invented and manufactured there, thus freeing the word of the scourge of the slot, more commonly known as the two-turn slip screw.

Weekend Wrap-up June 15: Drumroll Please
This is what my KDP sales dashboard looked like for the month of June:
Each day I looked, I wondered…will I go a whole month without a sale? I was reminded of the time watching the local sports team bomb so bad that the fans began to chant, “No points. No points.” Kinda cruel, but also kinda funny. Even more cruel was when we started rooting for the visiting team.
So, this morning, I had a plan to write a hilarious post about trying to get to the end of the month without a sale. Then this happened:
Oh well…
From the “Am I not as funny as I think I am?” file:Sometimes my cartoon ideas are a bit odd and out there. Readers have told me that sometimes they just look and scratch their heads and say, “Huh?”
There are times I actually laugh out loud when I drawing. This was one of them:

Free Book Friday June 14: In Conversation With – Paranormal Fantasy Romance Author D.L. Lewellyn
In Conversation With: D.L. Lewellyn
Today I have the pleasure of sitting down with author D.L. Lewellyn. Can I offer you anything to drink?
Thanks so much for having me as a guest, Leon. I’m good with my mug of black coffee and donut holes for now. And just for the record, I rarely eat donuts. I’m just making sure my husband doesn’t eat the whole box.
Did you know, that in Canada we don’t call them doughnut holes? Our flagship cult and addiction corporation, Tim Hortons, supplies the population with “Tim Bits.” For a brief time, rival chain Robin’s Doughnuts offered “Robin’s Eggs” but they have mysteriously disappeared…
Both are clever names to disguise that they’re really just little sugary blogs of fat.
So true…
I read that you have traced your roots back to the 1600s. Anyone famous or imfamous you care to name drop?
Ha! You would think there might be in all that time, but alas, just pioneers and farmers though those adventurous souls are remarkable in and of themselves. My Godby ancestor didn’t do anything more famous than travel in 1610 to the Jamestown colony on the Sea Venture, which foundered on the reefs near St. George (Bermuda) after battling a storm. All survived and lived on the island while they built two ships from the wreckage, the Patience and Deliverance. Pocahontas was also a survivor. The Sea Venture’s fate allegedly inspired Shakespeare to write The Tempest, and Bermuda became a British settlement.
Thomas Godby made it back to a decimated colony aboard the Deliverance and thrived until an argument at a neighbor’s home one evening caused an injury that ended him. His death at the hands of William Bentley resulted in one of the first colonial criminal trials with a jury of twelve. After receiving a manslaughter verdict, Mr. Bentley demanded that “he ought not to die” and claimed the “benefit of clergy” and his life was spared. The benefit of clergy was the defense of the literate. He could read so he was worth keeping alive, right?
And you didn’t think I had stories. 
I promise to stop here.
Never ask an author to tell a story, right?
Especially one who’s a hermit and tends to yak a lot when let out of her she-cave.
What was the first thing you wrote that was made publically available?
My very first writing venture was my paranormal romance series, The Starlight Chronicles. I self-published book one, Ursus Borealis in July 2021, six months after starting my story. Book two, Drago Incendium, followed that December, and two years later I polished up and republished the first two with book three, Tigris Vegus, dropping on my 60th birthday.
I noticed this picture on your website:
Please tell me you write all your books with this wonderful piece of technology.
I wish I could! I have a thing for classic typewriters. This is my Dick Van Dyke Show inspired gem. I did intend to journal with it, but wow! Those keys are hard to strike.
I actually learned to type on something like that in high school. They are also very loud.
I’m so old that besides the modern IBM Selectrics, my classroom included typewriters from the 1920s with those super high keys that could do a number on your fingers when they slipped between them, which was like always. The teacher wanted us to get a feel for the keyboard. I do miss the auditory feedback in these classic functional machines.
Okay, let’s get to what the readers really want to know. What’s the longest scarf you have ever knitted?
Haha! I’ll just say I’ve knitted scarves lengthy enough to trip over. And lots of them.
Onto the book, or books for that matter. What authors influenced you?
I’ve been a seriously obsessed reader since before I could hold a book. My Dad stoked the fire by reading me bedtime stories. He has a wonderful voice. As a result, I’ve been influenced by an eclectic list of classic literature and modern authors and genres: Frank Herbert, Dean Koontz, Joanna Lindsey, Jude Deveraux, Jane M. Auel, Tolkien, Thomas Harris, Grisham, Crichton, Cook, Cussler (gotta have my Dirk Pitt), and James Herriot. I went through a period of cozy craft mysteries set in knitting and stitching shops around the country (too many to name). In my later years, I discovered paranormal romance adventure (Romantasy these days). My all-time favorite is Grace Draven but there are so many amazing authors in this genre. Romance is my primary jam.
My dad did the same for me. Maybe you’ll let me tell that story if you want to interview me sometime.
Funny you should mention that. To your readers… Check out my June Spotlight Guest interview with Leon at bydllewellyn.com where our discussion continues. And speaking of Grace Draven, she was my December guest.
Hey! Only one plug per interview…
Moving on. Do you have a favorite book?
I would love to name just one, but as you can see by the list above, my tastes are varied and many, and I love so many different aspects of all of these writers’ storytelling styles. I think that’s why I finally tried my hand at writing. Reading for me must be entertaining above all things. So, the stories that deliver the escape are the ones that stick.
What was the inspiration for The Starlight Chronicles?
After spending a summer consuming nearly 200 paranormal fantasy romances and deciding I wanted to write one myself, the first plot seed that took hold came from my fascination with ancient cultures and the idea they might have been aliens. I focused on the Sumerians. I love Earth history mixed with sci-fi. My antagonists are three immortal brothers from the planet Anurash who came to Earth in the time of Mesopotamia. Their arrival instigated the development of the “black-headed ones.” Over time, they merged their DNA with animal shifters and forged a supernatural race to rival the other races of Fae, Vampires, and Shifters in my world that share Earth with humans.
Writing this series allowed me to explore a modern world where humans unknowingly for the most part live alongside these magical races. You might call it urban fantasy except that much of the story is set in lesser populated places like Quincy, California, and Ketchikan, Alaska.
Sci-fi/Fantasy is wonderful, isn’t it? You can take everyday people and throw them into a mix of all sorts of beings and any situation you can think up.
Yeah, and alternate timelines, too. Throw the fact-checking out the window…
What’s a fact but imagination with data? I’m not really sure what that means, but it sounded good.
Who does your cover art?
Me. I had to approach my writing passion as a hobby with a minimal budget. I use Canva primarily to design my covers and promotions. I do my own website and newsletter design. Art is also a passion, so graphic design is an enjoyable outlet, and I’m constantly learning to do things better. (I really need to figure out how to do wrap-around covers.) I also do my own editing and publishing, using tools like MS Word (love the Read Aloud feature), AutoCrit’s editing platform, and Draft2Digital. I have a background as a paralegal and administrative assistant, so editing was sort of a life-long occupation. I also have a lovely, talented niece who shares my creative passions and contributes to all my endeavors in various ways, depending on her availability.
I do my own too, and made a lot of mistakes, but have learned from them.
By the way, my parenthetical above was a hint for a tip on wrap-around covers. I love yours for Euphrates Vanished.
I just emailed ya.
I always like learning about the musical tastes of other authors. Any favorites?
So many! I love blues and rock going back generations (even the old Mississippi Delta greats like John Lee Hooker and R. L. Burnside). My favorite modern bands are The Black Keys, Cake, The Record Company, and Nathaniel Ratliff & the Night Sweats.
Nathaniel Ratliff. Sure a good songwriter. Doesn’t he great voice?
Every one of his songs makes me sit in the car after pulling into the garage and finish listening.
Are you ready for the lightning round?
Bring it!
Love the enthusiasm!
Least favorite social media platform?
Twitter!
[Loud buzzer] Oh, sorry. Minus one point for using the old name.
I refuse to call it X. That’s when it all went down hill.
Last binged show?
Blue Eye Samurai
First vehicle you purchased?
A Plymouth Champ
Favorite city?
San Francisco
Diner, Drive-in, or Dive?
BJs Brewery (Sorry, northern Nevada is woefully short on cool places to eat)
Scariest animal you have encountered?
Been too close to cougars, bears, and scorpions.
Oh my…
This has been a pleasure. Thanks for chatting. I’m looking forward to meeting your readers when they drop by to learn a bit more about you. Any links you want to share?
