One of my traveling coworkers sent this picture to me from Wordsmith Bookshoppe in Galesburg, Illinois! It's so lovely seeing Upon a Waking Dream out in the wild. If you're in the Galesburg area, please stop by and snag a copy!

A troubled young ghost hunter. A vengeful spirit. They’re the perfect match. Until they’re not.

Morning, peeps! J. S. Bailey, here. To make a long story short, I'm having a baby soon and need to make room, so I'm clearing out my stock of books. The horror titles I have available are Memory and Bone ($20) and Solemnity ($10).

I'm signing books at Cincy Book Rack this coming Saturday from 12 to 4pm! I'll be there with 5 other local authors, so this should be lots of fun. 😊

Writing Staycation: Day 5

I went to the Bethel Branch of the Clermont County Public Library and wrote 2,500 words. In all this week, I've added 12,000 words to the sequel to my weird scifi adventure novel, Dalton Kane and the Greens, which is the most I've written in 5 days in a very long time.

Writing Staycation: Day 4

I got some writing done at home, then went to the Owensville Branch of the Clermont County Public Library after lunch to write some more. Total word count: 2,500. I have made so much progress this week!

Writing Staycation: Day 3!

The weather turned frosty and foul overnight, so I stayed home with the kid and managed to write 2,000 words in spite of the constant barrage of toddler questions. My messy living room may not be as peaceful as the local library, but I'll take it.

Writing Staycation: Day 2! I headed over to the Amelia Branch of the Clermont County Public Library to write some more.

Today's word count: just over 3,000 words. I'm making so much progress!

Which library do you think I'll be writing at tomorrow?

I'm taking a "staycation" from my bookstore job this week to try to knock out a big chunk of the novel I've been struggling to write for four years.

Today I took my laptop to the Union Township branch of the Clermont County Public Library and wrote 2,000 words. Whew!

It's been in the making for a few months, and now it's here! Memory and Bone is finally available as an audiobook. I worked with narrator Danni Deguire, who did a wonderful job bringing this story to life. Links in comments!
