Good morning!
Despite working just three days (so far) this week, I still have nine news and features stories to share with you today and few more that will be posted over the weekend, so do watch for them.
I had a very nice, very late (on many levels) birthday dinner with Timothy last night. His birthday was September 8 and last night was the first night we could sync schedules (we did have a very small, very short family celebration on the actual birthday).
I was only able to pop into WriteOn Joliet's launch party for Discord for just thirty minutes and play one game, and I misssed this morning's #5amwritersclub altogether. The group meets on Eastern time, which means 4 a.m. for me.
But we had late dinner reservations, got home even later, and, well, I did try. I don't think I've ever hit snooze so many times!
Here's the thing. Often, when we work for the good of the family, the family (ironically) has to be set aside. Last night was not one of those times, and I'm glad of it. It was a nice dinner and enjoyable time together.
Here's a recap/update on my other BryonySeries porojects:
I am currently re-reading my scribbled first draft for Call of the Siren (the second book in the BryonySeries Limbo trilogy) and starting to color in the lines.
So I will use this time to re-read my scribbles, start coloring in the lines, tackle a few projects (not all writing proects) I hadn't anticipated on tackling, and spending some time with family.
Sue Midlock is nearly done with the art for Cornell Dyer and the "Mistical Being" (cover looks great, by the way) and I'm hoping she can begin art soon for Cornell Dyer and the Calcium Deficient Bones.
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 we will get to it 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.
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 nine 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!
