June 2018 Writing and Publishing Round-Up

June was an… interesting month. I had a skin growth cut out of my leg – twice; managed to defeat a week of the flu; and also got over a back injury. This might have put a crimp in my writing, but it did allow me to catch up on some reading, and I became acquainted with works by Michael Anderle, Craig Martelle, Martha Carr, and P.R. Adams. I also caught up my publishing schedule, although my writing schedule fell completely apart and had to be rewritten. In addition to that, I learnt a bit more about the business side of publishing, and updated my social media presence, including the following sites:
