Good morning!
Although. for years, I've posted a roundup of my feature stories on Fridays, I may, for now, post them on Mondays, simply because we're experimenting with new posting schedules and all stories may not post by Friday morning.
So here'a a bit of catching up over the last few days, stories and otherwise.
On Saturday, Rebekah and I hung out at The Book Market in Crest Hill. We arrived a few minutes early to "dress" the store's "book signing" table only to find the owner had already done it for us!
Although business had been slow most of the day, it picked up during those last two hours of operation. Not everyone stopped at my table, of course, but some did, and it was wonderful to chat with those who did.
We sold a total of seven books and gave one Bertrand the Mouse book to a little girl. Not bad for two hours on a snowy Saturday.
The rest of the weekend, quite honestly, was filled with church, chores, errands, and a bit of work.
Before the event I did a smidgen of fiction: some character development for The Phoenix (the first book in the Limbo series) and some tweaking of previously written chapters for Lycanthropic Summer (my werewolf story).
Next weekend should (hopefully) be less busy and more productive.
Below is information on where to find the things I write or edit or post.
Scroll past that information to get to the feature stories. Browse and click at whatever interests you.
Mostly, have a marvelous Monday: readers, writers, and BryonySeries fans! :)
Non-bylined features:

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.
One can also find those event listings, the Gotta Do It calendar, as well as the pets, health, faith, and arts and entertainment calendars, under the sections tab on the left hand side of http://www.theherald-news.com/. Click on "features" and the topics drop down. Gotta Do It runs under "people."
Community news? Again, under the sections tab, under features, and by topic. Updates are posted on these days in print and web (and some only on web on other days as I have the time):
Daily updates: I do post the briefs and calendars on Twitter during the week, so you're welcome to follow me at @Denise_Unland61.
BryonySeries stuff: I post curated content relating to the BryonySeries at @BryonySeries. And assorted related content at www.facebook.com/BryonySeries. And of course, please follow the adventures of Bertrand the Mouse on Instagram at bertrand_bryonyseries.
If you're a writer anywhere in the world, you're welcome to jon WriteOn Joliet's Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/writeonminooka/?ref=bookmarks. We're based in Joliet, Illinois, but we love to meet and interact with writers outside our area, too.
Upcoming events:
Once Timothy Baran is done updating this page, these will listed here: https://www.bryonyseries.com/fetes-and-feasts.
Check out the progress he has made so far. Each square is hand-built. And be sure to "hover" your hand over the first square. Note: this only works (so far) with the desktop version.
But he's also made A LOT of changes to the website. So be sure to roam around a bit.
