After nearly two months away from the beginnings of my outline for Shallow Trenches, Open Skies, I think I need to start over. I've just had a thought about a couple of my main characters that changes everything!

We're about 2/3 to 3/4 of the way through Gas Giant Gambit's edits. I think we may finish this week! Then proofreading! And pre-orders! And author copies! And ARCs!

I can't wait!

I just discovered that during WWI, 7,000 family dogs were recruited to carry aid to the wounded and messages to the front line.
Shallow Trenches, Open Skies needs a messenger dog character.

Just did an author interview for "The Stuff Legends are Made of" and RARE: A Dark Anthology of Unusual Secrets, coming out next month!
I'm not sure when or where it will be made public, but I'm sure I'll get that info before it does 😅

My novel is coming out in a few months. So I'd like to get the community's opinion on something before I accidentally start marketing it or myself as something we're not.
It's being traditionally published, but by a tiny new indie press.
Does that make me an indie author?

Ha! With Rare: A Dark Anthology of Unusual Secrets coming out April 22nd, I officially have an Author Page on Goodreads!

Whew! Did it! Just under 2400 words total with some notes to add details as I edit later.
I don't know if this will be good enough to get me to the next round, but I'm proud of it.
Romance is wildly outside my wheelhouse, but I think I did okay.
