Spooky season is here!

Ghosts and goblins galore with the occasional werewolf and vampire.

Then there’s the kids. 🙂

Halloween is my favorite time of the year, even though as an adult I don’t get to trick or treat here in the middle of nowhere. No parties, nothin’ but the early darkness. Faushing or however the Europeans spell it is the right Idea. Sort of a Halloween/marti gras type of thing in February for adults to dress up like vampires and human werewolves and party around the whole city. Happened in Germany while I was in the Army there and it spilled out into the streets between houses and other places. At least that was what I was told was happening. 12 hour shifts didn’t leave much time to socialize after sleep and meals. But it sure looked like fun partying and the costumes were beautiful and varied from century to century for the vampires and various garments for the weres. I enjoyed the little I saw.

We’ve had a bit of cool weather these last few days. Dad had to put on a coat, he thought it was too cold. 50 is cold when you’re used to 100. I just slipped on a long sleeved shirt. It does feel cold but I’m enjoying it for now. We’ll be back in the 70’s by Tuesday according to the weatherman.

The cats are down. Only 7 have been showing up at mealtimes. But Dad hasn’t been seeing any coons, Raccoons, on the trail camera. However he did see a coyote.

Still on the last chapter of the WIP, Deadly Sea. I’m also working on the next one, Dragon Mistress. I also pulled out my short story Museum 1944. I might add to it and get it out as well as a short collection. It fits spooky season but I might not be done with it and pubbed by Halloween. So I just may work on it anyway since it is the season. Maybe I can pub it in February as a Faushing thing. 🙂

Oh, Hootin an Hollarin was a bust. 3 books sold($15each) and 12 tiny dragons(2for$5). Of course I didn’t have any new books out so that made a difference. That’s why I need to get at least 2 books out before the end of this year. Triple Treasure was a bust too, but that I expected as there was competing events that weekend. I didn’t break even on either event. I paid for my food but not the booths. Next year with new books out I should at least break even, depending on participation.

Catch you on the flipside. Stay tuned for the next installment.

Mid June

Got my new glasses. Need to get used to bi-focals again. And seeing differently since these are stronger.

Still working on Emergent, the Time-Lost book. Got the cover done. Just need to write the last few chapters and I’ll be done with it. I’ve been writing it with shifting POVs. One chapter is one MC and another chapter is the other MC. I also have a bit of a hint toward reverse harem in this book. Two males having feelings towards the same female, but it’s only a hint. Once you read it you’ll see what I mean.

Since I’ve been working on Emergent, I haven’t been updating my Vellas. I think I’ll take a few and write an episode or two of one or so of the others and update. My reading numbers are down and I’m not getting very much participation so…I’m going to spread a little love.

What are good names for a pair of supernatural female ravens? I have placeholder names for now for the ravens in my Bone Whisperer series. I still haven’t figured out names for them. I need to before this second book comes out. The closest thing to them is Odin’s ravens but one they’re male and two, they’re male. 🙂

If you’re looking for your next read, try out my book, A Playground of Bones. Book 1 of Bone Whisperer. Or one of my other fifteen books I have out. My Elemental Voice Series has 4 out of the 5 books out plus 2 novellas or the first book in my Ghostwolf series, Raven Manor. I also have over 5 Vellas out to try.

Still running the naming contest for book 5 of Elemental Voice series. So 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. One writer gave me some names at the conference and I may use one for one of the characters but I still need some more names. There will be more than one ‘winner’.

Stay tuned for the next installment.
