Writing a book is a difficult task made with dedication, time and most importantly, work.

Last Weekend of December!
As the year winds down, I am grateful for the wonderful people
I have met both online and around me.
The creative community will always be my home. As we share our works and worlds, I hope the dreams
we follow and the goals we choose light the world around us. Onwards!

Christmas is coming!
I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season and there are few of us with coal in our stockings. (unless that’s what you wanted from Santa.)

How time flies!
NaNoWriMo has concluded and the Christmas season is in full swing. Have you all bought presents for everyone on your list? No? Well, I guess we’re in the same boat. Onwards!
I’ve now created trailers for the first five books in the Linked series and a trailer for The Orb. (Oh,that one is fast becoming a fave of mine.)

20181111 Weekly Update
As expected, once InkTober was complete, new challenges
arose as NaNoWriMo took off. I am now
writing the finale of The Orb series trilogy and hope to get the first draft
complete by month’s end. There are many
things to complete before the month is over and before the year concludes but I
am working diligently to stay on top of the challenges of each day.
I am including one of the chapter illustrations to the
Ripples of Mind revision that will be updated and released by year’s end. This will be accompanied by the release of
all other books with the exception of The Orb, which I will begin to revise
immediately at the beginning of the Year.
As soon as it is complete, I will have the new cover and illustrations
underway for The Orb and as the next book of the Linkes series is released, I
will begin the new year with a challenging goal I intend to meet: Releasing two books a year for foreseeable
future.
Reflections of Shadow will be the first book to kick off the
trend followed by book two of The Orb titled Sphere of Darkness. Next year, the following book of the Linked
series will be released and soon after, the final book of The Orb series will
be published.
Throughout this time, I intend to have advertisements,
trailers and blogs released beginning in January. It will be a brave new year for me with an end
goal in mind for the year 2020. (Fingers
crossed I can meet every goal and every challenge.) Onwards!
Below is the illustration for Chapter 3 of Ripples of
Mind. I will post this on my Facebook
page dedicated to my drawings. This will
also be a part of my work as 2018 concludes and 2019 is born. Cheers!

Greeting one and all. InkTober was a thrill ride and it is over at last. (Yay!) Now it is November, better known as National Novel Writing Month or NaNoWriMo for short. Guess who’s taken on that challenge yet again this year? This guy! (Yay?)
I managed to come up with a story at the last minute and have been writing diligently and desperately for the last few days. I will continue until the month is over, juggling daily Instagram posts, weekly IGTV video shorts and I will be trying to include a drawing for the sake of continuity, so I don’t get out of practice. I think I’m a glutton for punishment.
Regardless, I’m going to be busy for the month. Wish me luck and don’t be shy. Click a like on my Instagram, check out the positive vids I’ll keep making or just sit back and enjoy the mayhem. Seriously, sometimes watching someone as they walk into a wall can be fun. Grab some popcorn and enjoy the show!
