A Big Announcement, Plus Experience Creative Worlds in a Whole New Way
I’m eclectic in all my tastes, but my readers aren’t necessarily. For example, those who enjoy learning about mythical creatures don’t always want to know about wagon trains (and vice versa). I’ve long pondered how to present the divergent topics I offer in a way that my subscribers can receive only the posts they want. I’m happy to say that a solution presented itself. I’ll spare you the technical details, but I now blog across separate-but-connected parts of my website organized by interest area. The Creative Worlds subdomains are: Fantasy Worlds, Historical Worlds, Dangerous Worlds, and Beautiful Worlds.
Now you can either subscribe to blog posts at all or only some of the Creative Worlds sites. I’ll post to each just twice a month for a total of eight posts per month.
The monthly Creative Worlds newsletter will contain my author journals with insights from my life and travels, my book news, and links to posts at all the Creative Worlds sites. The newsletter publishes on the first day of each month.

My Book News for July 2013:
What I’m working on right now: I’m completing DawnKing, book three in Tales of Faeraven, and have reached the midpoint of the book. I’m also editing Author Branding Made Simple with co-author Melissa K. Norris, for fall release.
Fantasy Fans: I haven’t yet received a release date for WayFarer, book two of my Tales of Faeraven epic fantasy trilogy, but I’m turning my thoughts toward its launch. If you’d like to be part of the launch team (thank you), click here for details: WayFarer Launch Team.
And now for my big announcement: as a thank you for my readers, I’ve created Fantasy Worlds, my new book extras site, just for you. I hope you’ll take a look at the site, which I designed to boost involvement with the fantasy worlds I create. You’ll find an image that represents my vision for Lohen Keil, the Well of Light, on the Fantasy Worlds page and one depicting Gilead Riann, the Gate of Life, on the Tales of Faeraven page. Feel free to discover intriguing tidbits from my research, characters engaging in interviews with their author, and even to learn who I would cast if my books became a movie. Here you can explore Elderland in a myriad ways through the mind of its author. Please be sure to vote in the book cover poll. Enjoy!
Romantic Suspense Fans: As you may recall, I’ve been working with Lynnette Bonner and Lesley McDaniel on a linked romantic suspense series entitled Islands of Intrigue. I’m pleased to announce that the first book in the series is now available. For details about this book, visit the bookshop at my website.
Historical Fiction Fans: I’m still waiting as editors deliberate whether to contract me to write Hills of Nevermore, the first book in my Montana Gold series, which is set at a time of unrest in the American West when outlaws, corruption, and vigilantes held sway. I’ll keep you posted on developments. No news yet.
Author Branding Made Simple: Together with my TriLink Social Media Mentors business partner, Melissa K. Norris, I’ll release Author Branding Made Simple in September. As part of the launch events, we’ll teach a two-hour social media class for NCWA in September. We’re also slated to teach our Solving the Pinterest Course at an event hosted by another local writers’ group in October, and we’re booked to teach on branding and Pinterest at the NCWA Renewal conference in May 2014. For more details on my upcoming speaking engagements, or to check my topics and availability, visit the speaker page at my website.
