Genre Agnostic Speculative Fiction
This year started out fast and busy around here, and I have all kinds of fun things to share!
The first goes back to last year, when I entered my very short story “The Spider Who Ate the Elephant” into the Golden Nib Contest for The Virginia Writers Club. My home group The Appalachian Authors Guild surprised me by picking it as their winning entry. Then I was even more pleasantly surprised when it took second place in fiction statewide!
Thank you for stopping by to read my sweet holiday romance The Magic Cat of the Hidden Springs Inn and Spa! Alas, the free week is over, much like the holiday season for 2019.
Check out this post for more information about the WMG Holiday Spectacular, including my two stories, one by Jason A. Adams, and a bunch of wonderful holiday tales by some of my favorite writers.
Thank you for your fantastic support in 2019, and Happy New Year!
A great opportunity to get holiday shopping done early for the readers in your life, or to give yourself a daily break from festive madness!
WMG Publishing has put together a wonderful Holiday Spectacular: a collection of 35 holiday-themed short stories, including two by me and one by Jason A. Adams. Both of mine are Appalachian stories, too. I’ve read almost all of the stories, and I’m excited to get to read them again in this fun story-a-day format!
Local-ish folks, Jason A. Adams and I will be out and about for the holidays! We’re launching The Occasional Bookstore right here in St. Paul, Virginia, based at the Mountain Heritage Museum and Gallery.
These dates are a perfect chance to shop local with us and other great small businesses around town!
More local authors will be joining in, so read on for dates and more information.
Kobo has a great ebook box set sale going on, and my Storms of Future Past box set is part of it! For local folks, this series takes place mostly right here in the Appalachian Mountains of far southwestern Virginia.
This set includes all four books in the series, and it was already a pretty dang good deal at $9.99 for over 220,000 words. From now until November 18, it’s 40% off.
(An update from Spiral Publishing that I couldn’t be happier about! For the first time, I have more pre-orders for my Voices through Time novella Walking the Ghosts in Large Print than standard.)
With our Large Print editions selling well over the summer, we decided to make that format available for all of our novellas, novels, and collections (when possible, more on that later). We’re delighted to have this format available for anyone who needs or just wants it.
