Meet the Author and Narrator, Part 3! youtube.com/shorts/eyTHI... Man, that's a great default thumbnail...

Q&A with the author and narrator of Sunchaser, part 2! youtube.com/shorts/oQVD-...

WE HAVE A RELEASE DATE FOR SUNCHASER IN AUDIOBOOK! Monday, November 10th is the official release date! Between now and then, check out some fun interviews between myself and the talented narrator, Cheryl-Annette Parker. youtu.be/ghPU-RV2yu4?...

Do you like indie books? Do you like finding new indie authors and a chance at getting book-type things for nothing? Of course you do! In which case you should check out the Read Indie Fantasy blog, where they're doing A Month of Rain and Reads!

Let me not to the narration of my books admit impediments; ACX does not approve when it approval finds, or works with the approver to approve. No, it is an ever-slowing mark That looks on release dates and is ne'er shaken.

Happy Halloween! This is as good as it gets this year; I'm on kid duty, so no Endermom costume. I suppose I could be a librarian, with my seasonal earrings and sweater, but really it's just comfy and warm. Hope everyone stays safe and has fun!

It's been 4,732 days since I submitted the audio for Sunchaser. The world has devolved into madness; dogs and cats are living together, "skibidi Ohio" has become part of the vernacular, and Patrick Rothfuss has actually finished his series. (George R.R. Martin, however, has not.)

Still so tickled by this! Also having an absolute blast following along with the competition--you should, too! #sff #booksky #sfincs3

I've played far too much Mario Kart and watched far too many cartoons to be fooled by this while out on a run. Nice try, universe!

Waiting on audiobook review by ACX. For anyone who remembers the old Windows file transfers--the time estimates always changed drastically... #audiobook #authorproblems

Friday: a statement

Pushed the button last night to submit the audio! It won't be long now. And if you go to my website and sign up for my newsletter, you might get a shot at a release day exclusive once it's live... #audiobook #fantasybook

Wednesday's message is about triumph in the face of adversity. The horrors persist, yet so do we.

He's nine and still does this. Be still, my heart.

Throwback to the time I made a playlist for Involuntarily Immortal... spotify.link/WRLuaF1xEXb

Just listened to Cheryl-Annette perform this section and had to share it with you all. Sometimes I go back and read something I've written and say, "Hey, maybe I'm good at this." This was one of those times. #booksky #sff #fantasybooks #audiobooks

I have all the audio for Sunchaser! It's mine...my own...my preecioouuusssss...

We're down to a few more days of recording, listening, and approving before the final audio for Sunchaser is submitted! I can't wait to share Cheryl-Annette's performance with all of you. It's fantastic! #booksky #sff #fantasybooks

Between watching the novella contest I've entered, listening through the audiobook narration for said novella, and planning audiobook release promotion, I'll be burning all the midnight oil for a few weeks. Someone's reading the sequel to it on KU, though! And I sold a book this month!

How many folks would rather keep up with things via YouTube than here? What do you like/dislike about it in comparison?

Sometimes you just have to stick your feet in the water with your mom.

Listen to Cheryl-Annette Parker perform a snippet from Sunchaser! Coming soon to Audible, Amazon, and iTunes youtu.be/1pC72ldsZFA?...

It's fall break, which means I theoretically have time for updates! Expect a newsletter here soon, plus a teaser of the audio from the audiobook for Sunchaser. It's sounding so good! For now, here are some boiled peanuts. If you've never had them, they're fantastic.

Saturday mode: martial arts edition

I had the privilege of attending a conference this week in San Diego with a focus on women in leadership and building our skillets to succeed. Much of it was business-centric, but there were themes that apply to writing and publishing, as well. So in case you need to hear any of these things today:

I'm completely blown away! It doesn't even matter if I win. This right here is why I write. Thank you so much to @kiraofthewind.com ! And do go check out her work, as well!

I'm not saying I'm short, but...

Cool centipede I found earlier. Hand for scale.

Sunchaser is in the mix for this! Keep your fingers crossed it makes it through the first round--there are some great titles in here!

I'm excited to be a judge for #SFINCS3! For those who don't know, #SFINCS is the Speculative Fiction Indie Novella Championship (the 's' at the end is just to make it sounds like 'sphinx' lol). It's like SPFBO, but specifically for novellas! Here are the books I'm reading for Team Grimoire Ink:

YOU GUYS. I just listened to the first 30 minutes of the Sunchaser audiobook recording, and IT'S SO GOOD!! I cannot wait to hear the rest!

I made a really good omelette this morning. In other, more important news, the first segment of the audiobook for Sunchaser dropped for my review yesterday! I'm super excited to listen to it and see what Cheryl-Annette Parker has done with her performance. #audiobook #sff

IYKYK.

Sound off of you've made it to Friday in spite of the craziness!

Someone bought all four of my books in ebook format yesterday! Whoever you are, thank you, and I hope you love them! (For the record, that only set them back $13 or so after tax...just sayin'.)

Have you read Sunchaser? Did you know it has a sequel? Follow along with more of Glorya's adventures and meet her niece, Zayira, at the best--and only--weatherworking school in Midlands! #booksky #indieauthor #fantasy #sff

Leaning toward this graphic. Thanks to all who weighed in! I've also got a newsletter coming out soon with more updates on audiobook news. (Spoiler alert: it's going great so far!) Sign up on my website--link in bio. What's your favorite thing about audiobooks? #booksky #sff #fantasylit

Finished and ready to box up and send! I really like how this came out. #crochet #yarnaddict

Which do you like best? If you've read my books, which fits them best? #indieauthor #indiefantasy #amwriting #amwritingfantasy #fantasybooks

Look what I got in my notifications today! Time to go pick up some indie reads! If you like fantasy books, I'd love for you to consider mine. I've pulled back on promotion this month as I pivot on a few things, so they haven't gotten much love. Links in my bio.

Almost finished with a baby blanket for a family friend--I love how this one's coming out looking like a sunrise (or sunset). Decided to crochet instead of knit due to time constraints. #crochet #yarnlove

Another day, another Internet search in the name of writing that probably puts me on someone's watch list... #amwriting #amwritingfantasy #amwritinghistoricalfantasy

YOU GUYS. I just listened to the checkpoint for Sunchaser in audiobook, and it. Was. AMAZING!! SO EXCITED!!!

Chloe got to visit the lake Sunday! She hasn't had much exposure to waves...

New(ish) review for Sunchaser! I don't check them often, but this was a wonderful find. If you want to read it before the audiobook hits, now's the time! a.co/d/iGaPuKW

Haven't played the first one in ages--can't wait to see how the gameplay looks remastered!

I'm still not sure whether this was intentionally hung there or not...

GUESS WHAT'S COMING TO AUDIOBOOK??? #audiobooks #fantasy #books #booksky #sff #authors #author

What's your favorite way to unwind at the end of a stressful day or week? Looking for ideas to change things up a bit.

Look what I found in the wild! Thanks to Apple and Dove in Gallatin, TN for carrying my books via Honey Rock Books & Cafe in Hendersonville! Go see both of them if you get a chance.
