Spicy barbecue
to help the plains of Kansas
roll by until dark.
Apologies for the late post. Jessie and I are currently in Central Kansas, trying to knock out the longest leg of this trip in one shot. Did I mention that we’re moving Jessie from Denver to Baltimore this weekend? Next stop: St. Louis!

In the hopes of reviving this series as a monthly installment, I’d like to talk about another region of northern Úr’Dan. The Western Uplands have received terribly little attention in my writings so far.
I must admit, this region of Úr’Dan is not as fleshed out as some of the others we’ve discussed. We’re changing that today! Continue reading “Exploring Úr’Dan: The Western Uplands”

Welp, I definitely forgot today was Friday, so I will be brief.
This week has felt very full, but I think I’ve accomplished very little publishing-wise. Stress at work is the main cause of that.

I finally did it. I completed my revisions of The Warden of Everfeld: Memento and sent it off to my book designer for formatting.
I feel… anxious? I don’t know. I’m glad to have it done, and on deadline, but suddenly the reality of publishing this thing is washing over me.

Tonight is the new moon, by the way 🙂

I honestly was not sure I could complete it at all, but I did! And now I have the entire weekend to implement some edits. Continue reading “Friday Publishing-Day: Final Edits!”
I might be late to the party on this one, since the video was published on YouTube over a month ago. However, I just heard this cover of The Cranberries’ classic on the radio, and felt compelled to share it. Watching Bad Wolves’ powerful video only heightened this need.

Grill smoke filters up

outdoor nights to come.

My weeks have really been flying by, and I still can’t figure out why. The stress at work has eased off a bit, so that’s good. Reading through my manuscript has gone more slowly than I wanted, but I’ve made solid progress.
Now, I have just over a week before my book designer starts his work…! Continue reading “Friday Publishing-Day: Burning Daylight”
