School's Almost Upon Us!

Greetings all!

It's that time of year again, when school starts up and various children, and adults, head back to school. Be it college, grade school, secondary, or preschool, I hope you will all enjoy your time there.

I know I've been out of hat for a bit. My grandmother passed on July 24th and I went to the funeral. The week after that, we had a wedding, so it's been super busy, but I hope things will settle down a bit.

A friendly reminder to school librarians, teachers, and other educators, I am available for presentations, assemblies, and writing classes. Check out my Author Visits tab for more information there. Info packets can be downloaded by following the link on that page. Rates are negotiable.

Again, I hope you are all well and that you are well-prepared for this upcoming school year and I hope to see some of you there!

Upcoming release, guys! ((updated))

Hey all! I've been working hard for a good couple of months to get things ready and I'm finally to the formatting stage!

For those who don't know, I've been working on painting (acrylics) a series of paintings for my newest children's book on migration. As a former preschool teacher, I was made aware of the need for more books on this subject, especially in the younger age groups, and decided it was about time someone took up the challenge, and so I give you the tentative cover for my newest book, One Cold Autumn Day!

Please remember that this is not the final version, but I just wanted to share this with you guys. Feel free to comment and offer suggestions.

A big thank you to all!

Hey everyone!

This last weekend at the Frisco Book Fest was absolutely awesome! I saw some people who I've met before, including one little fan who just had to have book three in the Tarragon Trilogy! Your excitement made me so happy! And I loved meeting all the new faces as well. I hope you'll like the books you took away with you. I know the room was small, and the lighting not so great, but I had a lot of fun!

I just wanted to give a quick update on things: Still looking to cast a few characters for my radio drama version of the Tarragon Trilogy. Audition lines can be found by clicking this link here.
We mostly need older voices to fill the roles of adult characters.

As for everything else, it's business as usual.

Anyone looking to host an author event?

I figured it couldn't hurt to put this out there, but I am currently scheduling events in local area schools and libraries for the upcoming school year. So, if you're a school librarian or secretary, or English teacher, I encourage you to check out my "author visits" page to get an idea of what I'm offering.

Goodness, but it's been a while!

Hey guys, I know it's been a hot minute since I last wrote anything here. Man, it's been crazy!  For those who've been following my facebook page, you know I've been trying to do a weekly (for the most part) live stream. I'm currently on a cooking and baking kick so if you want to learn how to make something, let me know.

I also quit my day job as a front of house team member at Chick-fil-a. It was fun while it lasted but they kept wanting to give me more and more hours, which meant I couldn't work on what I really wanted to work on, my books and other related projects. So, I left. I'm now working as a substitute school crossing guard, which is a lot less hectic, even if it is less hours.

So, what's going on in the writing world for me? Well, I just updated all of my Tarragon books so they should be a lot more squeaky clean, free from more typos and whatnot. I've also got a hard cover version of Bob The Littlest Dinosaur and Bob and The Color Fairy available for order through Amazon and other online retailers. Hadn't done anything in hard bound before so I'm pretty excited.

I've also been working on turning my Tarragon Trilogy into scripts for an audio drama, which I hope will start releasing by the end of this year. I'm currently in the process of auditioning voices for the different roles, so if you're interested, want to give voice acting a go, by all means, head on over to the audition site and give it a look around. You can find it HERE.

I've also redesigned the logo for my Tarragon Trilogy and wanted to share it with you. So here it is! Still have some bugs to work out and all that but I think it looks pretty fancy, especially the R's.

 

Outside of that... I'm trying to get over bronchitis, which is fun, let me tell you. Hoping to see everyone on May 11th at the Frisco, Texas Frisco Book Fest, which I will be attending, between 1:00 and 5:00 pm that day. They also have a Frisco StrEats thing going, with food trucks and whatnot, like a block over, so come out and enjoy the food, the music, and find a great new book to read!

Merry Christmas, Everyone!

Greetings all! Happy Holidays! And Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
