I've been a busy bee this month. And yet, surprisingly, not as busy as previous years. But that doesn't mean I don't have updates!

With "GOATS" coming out tomorrow, I figured it would be a good idea to share this month's writing update a day early. No, I don't give away any secrets about "GOATS" or the WIP "Skull Daddy: Mother/Father" - you'll have to read those yourself if you want to know what they're about 😜

I had three copies of The Way of the Wielder in a local bookstore. When I stopped by recently, I noticed all had sold, which made me very happy.

Long story short, I just heard back from them with next steps. Turns out, they want five more copies of book 1, plus two copies each of books 2 and 3!

I'm very happy about that (despite the somber mood I'm in today)! 🥹 🥳

Did spooky season solve all of my problems? Maybe!

Reviews are never mandatory, but they are appreciated! No matter what rating you give, reviews can help authors find their target audience and help readers find books they might enjoy. I personally do not live in fear of one star reviews. All of my books can be found on The Story Graph and Goodreads

For everyone who said "you should write a horror story about a hospital" after my trip to the ER... Well, you're in luck because "Modern Hauntings" has plenty of hospital scenes 😈
