Spring update

What I’ve been up to

🌸It’s officially spring in the northern hemisphere, and the flowers and tree buds and blossoms are here to prove it. Although the weather is still quite erratic. I went to a lake on Wednesday and it was bitterly cold, and I went for a walk with the dog on Thursday, and it was almost hot. That’s spring here for you. ¯\(ツ)

📝I have made slow but steady progress on book 2 so far. I’m 54k words in, so that’s (hopefully) over a fourth. Some life things that have come up might require me to take longer on this book than the last one, but I’ll keep working away at it, promise!

In the meantime, if you’re getting impatient, you can always beta read the first book. I have plenty of beta readers now, so I don’t need more, but I’ve left the applications “door” open, just in case anyone is itching to read more of my stuff.

Dragon’s Blood is free again for now

My second BookBub Featured Deal for Dragon’s Blood, (book 1 of the Blood of the Covenants Series) goes out on Monday, and in preparation, I’ve once again lowered the price of the ebook to $0.00 everywhere.

I haven’t decided when (or if) I’ll raise the price to $0.99 again, but it will at least be free through the end of April.

Now available through Bookshop

On a slightly related note, the Blood of the Covenants Series ebooks and paperbacks* are now available through Bookshop, the online book retailer that allows you to direct the proceeds to your chosen brick-and-mortar bookshop!

*Except for book 6’s paperback, which was too big for anyone but Amazon to print on demand for a while. 😅 Except the good news is that I just checked, and now my other print distributor will take it! So, I submitted it, and paperbacks should be available everywhere else sometime in the near future, including through Bookshop.
