Next week, I have vacation time to use, so I'm giving myself a "writer's retreat" and immersing myself in Before the Blood. Social media postings will be sporadic in order to maximize my time, but I'm hoping to give a brief update about my progress each day via this blog.
Also in 2018, I'll be starting a newsletter. I'm giving away the first chapter of one of the books in the BTB prequel as a "thank you" for signing up. Want to be included? Drop me a line at bryonyseries@gmail.com
Now some quick information before the stories:
Non-bylined features:
Monday through Saturday I assembled my non-bylined works - brief posts and calendar listings - into one convenient file and posting them on Facebook in the evening, so readers can easily choose the ones they want to read.

Artworks: Joliet resident wrote lyrics for 'Here Come the
Irish'
John Scully said: "As a musician, I think it's always
good to add to something to people's lives, something that's worthwhile, and I
think we're on the mark here with 'Here Come the Irish.' It has added
immeasurably to the quality of people's lives. [And that's just not a ] good
goal for music. I think that's a good goal for anything."
