I'm proud that, a year ago, I published The Wilderlands

It's a fantasy story with swords and monsters. It's also about how people are weaponized against each other

It's marked down to $12.99 & $5

30,000 words, ~125 pages, and 14 chapters into Light Keeper Chronicle 2📝

It's slow going writing when I can between day job stuff and generally trying to stay alive, but I feel good about this draft and still think I could have it done by the end of the year!

Goodness me, I'm 30 years old, we're not in a pandemic, and I can't get hooked on a game like this again. I don't have the time ...

And yet, here I am, killing time

I did a local first Friday event at Storyhouse Bookpub in Des Moines yesterday. It was a lovely time and I sold 9 books in 3 hours! (Which is the most copies I've moved outside of an event with friends and family)

Got copies of ‘The Wilderlands’ sent to #Storygraph winners this week :)

Thrilled to know that the people behind the Sinners Blu-ray release know exactly what we're looking for

#IndieBookstoreDay

If you're celebrating #IndieBookStoreDay this weekend and are in the Des Moines-area, catch me downtown at Storyhouse Bookpub at 6 p.m. for their Book Banning Resistance Party.

Swing by to hear me talk about "Catch-22" and/or grab copies of my books!

Excited for the first 3-star review on "The Wilderlands"! While I would love for them to have liked the book more, it's cool seeing how different people feel. A variety of ratings and takes makes the book feel somehow more traveled.

Regardless of the stars, please review! 🤩

While I'm not an advocate for AI summaries, it is interesting seeing what #Storygraph thinks of my book based on reviews.

Couldn't confidently tell you where it got "transformative power of responsibility" but the rest seems pretty on point
