Greetings and salutations all! It’s time for another weekly update!
Still writing along on The Cold Ones, and I designed a lovely piece of swag for it that should be coming in the mail soon… I’ll share pictures when they arrive. Well, only if they arrive after the cover reveal. I’m not planning a big shindig for the cover reveal, but I will likely have a little quiet gathering of some kind… In any case, you guys will get first peek when it’s time, and I’ll give you plenty of heads-up for it.
In other writing news, my beta for Wolfborn has finished reading it and given it two enthusiastic thumbs-up. So, the editing will begin very soon, and hopefully I can get The Cold Ones finished up here soon, and passed on to her as well. As most of you probably already know, I edit my own stuff. Yeah, yeah, I know, that makes the hair stand up on a lot of people’s necks, but I’ll be frank here… I’ve had occasion to read quite a variety of books, the majority of which were edited by other people, sometimes teams of other people, and, by and large, I haven’t found the result to be any cleaner than any of mine… I do a good job… Perfect? No, I’m sure if you read them, looking for flaws, you’d probably find some. *winks, shrugs* I write well, and I’m a perfectionist when it comes to it, and it shows.
Anywho, what else? Oh, if you aren’t currently following the Terrible Turtle Conspiracy comics, you need to start… I’m currently guesting as myself, and the current storyline is one I collaborated on with writer Jonathan Harvey… things are going to get interesting, and you never know who might show up in these pages, so start following it now!
Live Writes at the Bistro has been set up for February 7th… We have a great line-up, including some new-to-us writers… I love it when newbies drop by! Live Writes is open to any writer, published or not, who wants to come and hang and have fun. If you’re interested in writing, shoot me a PM… Our March event will be here before you know it… and mark it on your calendars, February 7th, 8PM EST.
Hmmm… what else… Oh yes! Next Saturday, February 3rd, I’ll be Live Writing with Riley Bryant at the Coffeehouse Poets Live Write. We go on at 7PM, starting out a night of fabulous live writes, so come early, and be prepared to stay late and enjoy the wonderful word weaving.
Alrighty, I think that’s it for this week. Keep your eyes peeled for new teasers and snippets this Teaser Tuesday, and fresh Wolfborn news this Wednesday. Have a great week everyone! Peace & Love & Muchness!
