Good morning!
I have seventeen news and features stories to share with you today and more that will be posted over the weekend (I'm working tomorrow and Sunday) so do watch for them.
I finished Cornell Dyer and the Calcium Deficient Bones on Tuesday. I'm just waiting for Sue to complete the art for Cornell Dyer and the "Mistical Being," and then I can chat with her about art for this book.
Timothy has also scheduled (and canceled) a couple of "Cornell" breakfasts to start working on the next book, a Sherlock Holmes parody (the main character is Sherman Homes) as life has gotten in the way for us. But - soon!
Sarah also had a crazy dream that sounded perfect for An Adventure of Cornell Dyer mystery. But she wants time to draw some sketches, a map, and write the "rules." It's called Cornell Dyer and the House of Broken Portals.
On Sunday night, I start my second and final at-home writing retreat of 2021. On this retreat, I will be finishing the second half of my working draft for Call of the Siren (the second book in the Limbo series), working at a rate of two chapters per day.
If my brain gets tired, I'll revist the first half of the draft and work on parts that need a granular, up-close type of focus. I currently have no timetable for getting this book done because this is where the quality of the writing counts. For now, I'm targeting a mid-spring release. We shall see!
Bertrand the Mouse has returned, and you can read about it here, here, and here.
Jennifer Wainright (frontispiece artist for Lycanthropic Summer) has completed two portraits for "Girls of the BryonySeries" series for tween girls and is currently working on a third. The portraits are beautiful and it shows that artist Jennifer Wainright can draw anything from werewolves to portraits!
I current have one book in the series completed, and I am working on the second, which I'll revisit this weekend when I'm off work. The goal is to have three of the eight done before I release any of them.
Now back to the seventeen stories. Simply click on the link of the story that looks interesting to you. Happy scrolling!
But before the stories, I have a list of additional resources and information. Please check them out, too -
Finally, if you'd like to find more kindness in your life, consider this book.
And have a great Friday!
