New Books for the New Year

Celebrate these Peeps!

To wrap up the year like I did the year before, I wanted to close by sharing the achievements of my fellow Active Alumni authors and Mustache Cartelistas and spread the word in case you missed them. Here’s some new books for the new year for anyone looking to read more.

As I’ve mentioned in the past, writing a book is a no easy feat and that’s an incredible understatement, and personally, I feel a lot of us Indies have to look out for each other.

So, here’s to ce...

November 2022 Author Update

Hello Everyone,

I hope you all had a happy thanksgiving. I had an obscene amount of turkey, cookies, and mashed potatoes and was stuffed!

Anyhow, it’s that time of the month again where I give a brief update on the report on what is happening in my neck of the woods. So, without further ado, let’s dive into this November 2022 Author Update.

How’s my writing going?

Writing is going well, all things considered. Mostly because I’m writing—not solely editing for once, (interesting concept.)

New Book Release

Hi everyone,

In case you haven’t heard, my new fantasy novelette Amorphous Tides is live on Amazon in both eBook and paperback and available digitally in other stores as well.

Please, if you have the time, I encourage you to pick-up a copy for 99 cents and leave an honest review. It’s a quick read, (only roughly 30 pages,) but if you don’t have the time, I understand.

If anyone in the Mustache Cartel wants a copy for free, please shoot me an email and I can send you an eBook or pdf.

Introduction

Hey guys,

I’m back again for another author update. Last month I was extremely busy, and exciting goodies are around the corner. Without further ado, let’s get into it.

Even better, if you’re a part of the Mustache Cartel, you...

Lafonda and Leo Anniversary Giveaway

Hey guys,

Lafonda and Leo Heroes of the Land turns one year old in three days. To celebrate, I will be holding a giveaway, and a friendly challenge to see who can make the best bedtime burrito from the story.

Spoiler Alert, it’s not me…Mistakes were made

And it did taste good. My pudding got too hot. In hindsight, I should have made fresh than pre-packaged or ditched it for larger marshmallows. I intended for a S’mores burrito, but as you can see, mistakes were made.

So, I encour...

July 2022 Author Update

Hello everyone!

I’m back for another update on the latest goings on in my circle. I had some technical issues last month competing with the holiday, so this month’s newsletter is coming early.

Also, given that I’m home and sore from a wisdom tooth removal, (and that wasn’t pleasant,) I’ve been blessed to have some time to catch up and even get ahead. So, yay? My jaw is incredibly sore, lol. And don’t get me started on the antibiotics, ravaging my stomach. I hope you all at least feel better ...

June 2022 Author Update

Hey guys,

I’m a little later than I hoped (technical issues,) but I’m back for another monthly author update.

The Tavern

For those who don’t know, I run tabletop games for some friends of mine every Tuesday, like clockwork. Recently, a fellow writer of our ranks, and new gamemaster to boot, decided he wished to record his sessions in an effort of note keeping his game.

Me and the other regular GM thought it was genius and since followed suit. So, I figured since these are new charact...

May 2022 Author Update

Hey Guys,

This May has been a month of hard work and sharpening my axe to the wheel. Progress is coming, but not quite there yet. So, without further ado, I’ll dive into what’s been happening in my neck of the woods.

Piracy PSA

This is one I wanted to touch on real quick, as I’ve seen it happen to a few indie authors recently. I won’t touch on specifics, but I will say that as authors, we work really hard on the stories that we write, spending tons of hours, money, pulled hair, and so o...

April 2022 Author Update

Hey Guys,

Welcome to another update.

This one’s a bit brief this month.

What’s next?

The short story/novelette Amorphous Love should return from my editor fairly soon. Once that’s ready, it will need a cover and my plan involves a formal eBook launch.

Also, I hope to give a copy to anyone in the Mustache Cartel who wants one.

Afterwards, I plan to edit my work in progress while continuing, albeit it slower, on my current novella.
