Hello 2017! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season! Mine was great and extremely relaxing which was something I definitely appreciated. Of course, "relaxing" to me is a slightly different definition than most people would have. I did a lot of research which goes hand in hand with writing. I also had a chance to sit down and make some long-term decisions and plans regarding the ROAM series which I'm very excited about. I hope everyone feels refreshed starting out this new year and ready to tackle their creative and personal goals!
The Softcover edition of The Revelation of Dacey Sinnett is almost here! I'll be reviewing a proof copy soon and if everything looks good then I hope to have them available through Amazon sometime this month. I also plan to release Fossegrimen (short story) on Kindle early on in the year.
I have two books on Wattpad which are being updated regularly. HUNTER and The Dead Oaks: Book One. I'll continue to work on these in the first part of the year and then hope to finish the year out with my (ROAM) spin-off/tie-in DůO. I can't give too much about it away but I can tell you that it will delve deeper into the Order of Azoth, Hunters, and Techno Mages. But that's all I'm revealing for now! I may even begin some other projects but we'll just have to wait and see how scheduling works out. I also plan to submit some things to a few publications and enter some writing contests.
A book signing event may be in the works. No date set yet. Still mulling a few possibilities over. I will keep you all posted, though! That leads into an art-related question that I've already been asked. Will I have any booths at conventions this year like I have the past couple of years? I have no idea. I haven't made any plans to and I'm still juggling the logistics of it. Please keep in mind that everything I do to market/promote my work is 100% me, so it really just depends on time/finances. I do love seeing you in person, though! That's why I think perhaps a book signing might be better suited this time around. You can always find my art online, though!
I already listed a few fun sketch cards in my Etsy shop over the holiday and I plan to list more periodically throughout the year. I could write an entire segment on my artistic plans and because of that I'll end those musings here and save them for a future post.
Speaking of art, how awesome are these drawings of Ethan, Benny, & Dacey (ROAM), and Jasper & Wes (The Dead Oaks) from Gaby of Whimsy and Noir! I absolutely love them! She also runs a paranormal webcomic and has her own Etsy shop; so be sure to check her out sometime!
If you guys have any fanart or things you'd like to share from these series please send them my way so that I can include them here on the blog!
Thanks so much for reading and I hope you all have a fantastic year!
