Mid-May Update

My large order of books shipped so I should get them any day now. We took up a few books to the indie bookstore in Springfield, MO to replace the ones she sold and added a few extra. But not more than two each of my mains. I want to ensure I have books for the June Conference and if an emergency sale happens. 🙂 I also left a few of my key metal bookmarks at the bookstore to see if such would sell. My beaded ones didn’t sell well so I want to see if these would. The book order should shore me up and I won’t need to order too much for Hootin an Hollarin in September and the Triple Treasure event in November.

I got my hardcover and softcover of my volume 1 omnibus. Looks good I think. The hardcover is more than the softcover of course, about $4 more. They have books 1-3 in them. Volume 2 omnibus will have books 4 & 5 and maybe a little novella. I don’t know yet as I haven’t written book 5 and don’t know what the characters have in store for me and my readers. I will also have an omnibus with the three companion novellas in it. After I have finished the third novella. Kindle Vella has messed up my plans for this series and my Ghostwolf series. My muse is being fickle.

Speaking of KV, I’m working on my Vellas, especially Emergent and Book 2 of Bone Whisperer. You can blame my muse for this. She’s stuck on Emergent and Bone Whisperer 2 for some reason. I want to get book 3 of Ghostwolf out but she won’t even look at it. So Vellas it is, for now. One of these Vellas might be out by August or September as ebooks/books. We shall see.

Have you read A Playground of Bones yet? It is a mix of paranormal murder mystery and paranormal women’s fiction. She is not a 20 something nor is she in her 60’s but she is an woman in her late 30’s, early 40’s with some life experience behind her. I added a bit of local history to the mix of folklore I used for this book. If you’re looking for your next read, try out my book, A Playground of Bones.

Still running the naming contest for book 5 of Elemental Voice series. My Muse is as I said being fickle and only giving me bits and pieces right now. Which is going in the book bible. I am looking for inspiration into their personalities through names. Are they pompous, pretentious, practical or precocious? If you got a good name for a vampire matriarch, her vampire PA, her vampire head of security, a human villain, or a morally grey vampire assassin give it a try. You may win a signed book or a signed bookplate whichever you choose as well as being mentioned in the author notes. So put your email and the name(s) in a comment if you think of one.

Stay tuned for the next installment
