Good morning!
Today I have just eight features and news stories to share with you today.
I'm still working on a few, and I was out of the office on Friday and Tuesday for bereavement, so I'm also playing a bit of catching up.
So be sure to check back on The Herald-News site: shawlocal.com/the-herald-news.
It's been a very family-focused few weeks, but I did pick at fiction a little. We had my father's Celebration of Life on Saturday and we will have Ron's Celebration of Life this Saturday. I also spent time this past week with a friend who is battling brain cancer.
On another note, if you're a writer, want to be a writer, or know someone in the Will/Grundy counties area that fits that description, be sure to check out this event. It's free but seating is limited and registration is required.
Here's a recap of other my other writing projects:
Last week three members of WriteOn Joliet hung out in the digital media center at the downtown branch of the Joliet Public Library to edit the radio play we presented at the Billie Limacher Bicentennial Park Theatre in Joliet on April 22.
We learned that recording and editing a radio play is very different from performing one (more on that later). A few of us will go back into the studio in next week to edit some more. I'm super excited!
And in the BryonySeries world:
House on Top of the Hill: Third book in the BryonySeries Limbo trilogy. I now have a good working draft of the entire book and two chapters that are ready for final edits.
Cornell Dyer and the Howls of Basketville: The next book in The Adventures of Cornell Dyer subseries is ready for production - after the Fourth of July. Rebekah will be traveling and then she's taking a few days off. We can't wait to release it into the hands of readers.
You can find other titles in the series here. Timothy has not yet added our latest titles to the BryonySeries bookstore. But all titles are also on Amazon.
Karla Joins In: The fourth book in The Girls of the BryonySeries series. Eight chapters are completed. I'm hoping to write the ninth on Sunday. But we shall see.
BryonySeries reference/guide book: Welcome to Munsonville: the People, Places, and Things of the BryonySeries. I'd love to have this one ready by the end of the year. Pecking slowly at it.
A Year of Shadows and Moonlight, of Gathering Blooms in the Woods: A rather unusual, poetic novella in the second person. Half of it is written and edited and another half is loosely written. Rebekah is also playing around with art for the cover.
Rebekah is also slowly updating the BryonySeries YouTube and Pinterest accounts. And she' catching up with Kindles for some of the BryonySeries books. So do watch for those.
Now back to the 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!
RECIPE OF THE WEEK
Sue's Diner is a fictional restaurant in the fictional Munsonville that only exists in the BryonySeries.
Each Wednesday, we post a new recipe. The recipe is either featured in one of our cookbooks, will be featured in an upcoming cookbook, or is just an "extra" we want to share with you.
Check out the recipe here.

If you'd like to officially join WriteOn Joliet, we have two tiers of dues and two ways to attend meetings. We also have a marketing arm that's getting longer every year. Check us out at writeonjoliet.com.
