A Change in the Wind

 Hey guys,


I thought I'd best give you the update on things. I was going to do an event in Irving, Texas last weekend, but if any of you showed, you know it didn't happen. The store manager canceled on me and it is what it is. Hopefully I will see you in December in Little Elm, TX instead.


Now, on to the bigger news, I am going to turn my focus onto turning the Tarragon Trilogy into a series of screenplays that I hope to find a producer for. I know I'm at a huge disadvantage, as I don't have an agent, and I don't really have any contacts in the industry, but I feel compelled to go this direction right now.

This will likely put my newest children's book, Moving the Zoo, on hold, but I do promise I will be working on it intermittently. It just probably won't be out in time for Christmas.

I do have some experience with screenplays, though nothing produced. I was a semi-finalist in a screenwriting contest last year, and I was an intern with an independent film company back in 2006, so not completely new to me, but I have never pitched to any Hollywood big producers, but that is the goal. If I'm being honest, never actually pitched it to any kind of big wigs, unless you count sending query letters when I tried to get traditionally published.

All that aside, if you have read any of the books in my Tarragon Trilogy, and liked them, please spread the word. Write a review. The more online presence I have, the better. And, maybe, someday in the not too distant future, you will see either those books, or something else I've written, on the big screen. That is my hope.

Thanks, y'all, for being great fans. I hope to improve my craft and make y'all proud.

New book release and cover reveal

 Hey guys, first, thanks to those who came out and saw me at Kroger in Bartonville, TX. I met a lot of new people and hope those who bought copies of my books enjoy them.


Now on the the meat of the post. I am officially announcing that The Tarragon Trilogy will be released November 1!

 I know it's been a long time coming, but I've finally got everything together, complete with two new short stories (Walter's Story and Emi's Story), as well as some illustrations depicting how I see key items in the books. These are all "never before released" additions specific to this all-in-one book.

 

And here is the cover:

 


This book will be available in ebook and paperback formats to start, with hardcover to follow, and I will share the links as they become available.

I am also getting close to releasing the omnibus version of the Trilogy, complete with two new short stories (not previously released), and some illustrations. I am finishing up those illustrations and working on the cover but hope to have a preview of it for you soon.


 

And in the newest news, I am working on creating a new Children's Illustrated book. Moving The Zoo should be available later on this year, hopefully in time for Christmas, but definitely by the end of the year.

 Also still in the works is the all-in-one version of the trilogy in paperback, hardcover, and ebook, with some added extras. So keep an eye out for more updates on that.



And, for those who do not know, my mom recently passed from cancer, which is why I haven't been as active with anything outside of the audio drama. She passed peacefully, surrounded by family. I will be dedicating one of the upcoming episodes of my audio drama to her memory.


And in other, other news, I am working on adding a new author to the DragonKey Press family. And that's all I'm going to say about the matter.
