You've gotta take a look at this tree (Yep, That's The Subject Line)



Hey Reader,

What's on your plate for this week? I'm finding a pretty smooth balance between working and writing. I have to show you a picture of the tree in my backyard now that it's blooming beautifully from the summer.

Some noteworthy highlights:

-Because my brain is so crammed with different information and on the verge of splitting into alternate universes, I've started using plotting software to begin plotting the entirety of the remaining MAD series. I'm super passionate about this series, so I cannot wait to share more news and updates with you all regarding this. Also, on a side note, Mad City's anniversary will be coming up next month...keep your eyes peeled for an email mentioning that.

-I met with my cover designer last week to approve the sketch for the cover of The Yellow Oak, my next novel. A cover reveal will be coming very soon!

-Last email, I shared an update for the formatting of A Night At Memoren Diner with a free download link. This was met with 100+ DOWNLOADS. You guys are amazing, and thank you so, so much for the support. If you missed my last email and you would like the download link, reply to this email and I'll help out.

-To top that off, A Night At Memoren Diner received another 5-STAR rating, submitted by Gina! Gina, if you are reading this email, THANK YOU so much!! As a kind reminder, you can leave a generous review or rating for the short story here on Goodreads. One sentence or two makes all the difference.

To end it off, I would suggest for you to check The War of Light Trilogy, set in the genre of Epic Fantasy, available on amazon for $2.99. Here's the blurb:

The fate of two nations rests in the hands of two unlikely heroes.

Ermo stands in the shadow of her family's legacy. She must rise to the challenge and face down the Holy Empire. Roan lives under the thumb of a religious theocracy. She must survive the coming storm, though it might change her forever.

A darkness lingers, waiting to strike. An ancient war begins anew.

Join a fantasy adventure telling the story of a world broken in time. Our heroes must rewrite history and bring civilization back from the brink of collapse.

Or else, the perpetual conflict between their peoples will fall prey to an even greater evil...

That's it on my end. Let me know what you've been up to, and if you have any recommendations. Until next time!

Hey Reader, This email will take a bit of a different pace while I'm focused on writing the rest of Mad Virus. I think the good news is that because it's a balance of reoutlining, rewriting and revising, it's not as long as typically writing a first outline and draft from scratch for me. We can stitch together a lot of things, including the little bites I've written in my notes over recent years. In those notes were also some self-reflective pieces. If you need a little escape today, check it...

Hey Reader, May you spare a recommendation? What's something you've loved recently that's been on your mind? Was it a book, video game, movie? Or something more unique like a place, meal or event? Was it old or was it something brand new? Regardless of what it is, send it to me - I need more recommendations to digest on my free time. Something I just realized after taking in so much media is how little I have a list of my own to thoroughly enjoy. As for my own recommendations, For anyone...

Hey Reader, Today is Labor Day. I've cracked a Corona, took in some of the leftover summer heat from this Florida summer, and re-tidied portions of the house after taking care of a 1-year-old tycoon. (He was actually a gem) I've had some interesting changes to my life that's left me in a lot of self-reflection. Change is, and will always be, weird even though it's an essential component in life. Who you are now is not the same as who you were 5 minutes ago. This can be from something as...
