As I mentioned in an interview last week, Fae Corps Publishing will be releasing a new anthology later this month featuring one of my poems, “The Black Cat.” Check out this YouTube short:
If you’re an eBook reader, you can preorder it!
In the meantime, if you’re looking for other spooky anthologies to read this Halloween season, don’t forget these others from Fae Corps Publishing featuring my fiction and poetry, including a poem in the style of “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe (whose death day happens to be today).
For those who haven’t watched it yet, here’s my presentation on word and page count last month at the Annapolis chapter of the Maryland Writers’ Association, shortly before Beneath the Deep Wave was published.
That’s right. I find it hard to believe that Beneath the Deep Wave will be available in a few weeks (on the 23rd). Ever since Mystical Greenwood first premiered, many people have been asking and asking when sequel would come. Well, the wait is almost over. I won’t be a one-book author for much longer. I am excited but also nervous. Hopefully, critics will feel I’ve gotten better and not that I’ve lost my touch.
Don’t forget you can still preorder the Kindle for Beneath the Deep Wave. Print copies will come after the release.
In the meantime, a micro memoir I wrote, “Eight Ball Corner Pocket,” is featured in the newest issue of Pen in Hand from the Maryland Writers’ Association.
Also, on the 21st, I will once again be giving my presentation on word and page count, this time for the Annapolis chapter of the Maryland Writers’ Association. It’ll be via Zoom only. So please register and join me at 7pn Eastern Time! Information can be found on the MWA website. You can help promote it on Facebook too!
Speaking of the Maryland Writers’ Association, registration is open for their annual conference in October. Early bird prices are available for one more week. I’ve signed up, and I hope to sell some books there. See you there if you can make it!
Now the pressure will be on to complete the third and last book in the trilogy. I imagine I will be besieged with the same questions.
Hello, everyone. If you remember from last month, I attended Balticon. Well, I had a good time, met some good people, was on some interesting panels, and I was able to sell three copies of Mystical Greenwood!
Also, in recent months, I’ve been featured in a couple new poetry anthologies. Check them out!
Many thanks to Gabriela Marie Milton for the opportunity to contribute for haiku poems to this anthology! Available in paperback, Kindle, and Goodreads.
I’ve also had this Christian poem published in the online magazine, Words of the Lamb, which has featured me before!
I mentioned this anthology a few months ago, but thanks again to Robbie Cheadle and Kaye Lynne Booth for allowing me to contribute not only six poems but also six of my pencil drawings! So yes, you can see me in action as an artist and writer! Available in paperback, Kindle, and Goodreads.
If you’re a poetry lover, be sure to check out my poetry page for other poems as well. And for you fantasy and fiction lovers, don’t forget that Beneath the Deep Wave will be coming out in a few months! You can preorder the eBook edition and mark it to read on Goodreads!
A lot has been happening over the last few months. First off, this week I gave a presentation on word and page count for the Maryland Writers’ Association Frederick County chapter. I meant to record it for my YouTube channel. Sadly, I did not. Oh well. Maybe I’ll do that next time I give it.
For those of you who’ve followed me for a while, you may remember me discussing this topic before. For those of you who haven’t, here’s that post:
A new poetry anthology is available featuring six of my poems, courtesy of poets Robbie Cheadle and Kaye Lynne Booth, who not only featured me but also allowed me to discuss my experiences with poetry as part of their Treasuring Poetry blog series a year ago. Many thanks to them, and also to Merril D. Smith for featuring a video of me reading one of my poems, which I’d written in college, as part of the anthology’s blog tour.
That’s right! It’s coming out in August. Here is the cover:
Beneath the Deep Wave is available for preorder from some vendors as an eBook, but not yet in Kindle, Nook, or print. More sales links will be posted when available. In the meantime, here’s a synopsis, and be sure to read and review Mystical Greenwood before Beneath the Deep Wave comes out. That way you’ll be caught up and won’t have to deal with spoilers!
And would you believe it, this is my 100th blog post! That’s a milestone. Many thanks to Sally Cronin, also, for sharing one of my previous posts in her Posts from Your Archives series. It’s been a good start, I think, to the year. I’ve taken further steps to balance the scales beyond social media. For this year’s Lent, I’ve given up watching videos on the computer, so my only YouTube usage has been on the TV. I’ve also been trying to limit my email logins to three per day.
I hope to see you next month at my presentation on word and page counts. See my events page for more details! I’m also hoping to be on panels at this year’s Balticon. I’ll post more details when I have them.
