Story Round-Up: Features in The Herald-News, Feb. 23 through Feb. 28

Good morning!

I'll be adding three more stories later today, so be sure to check back (not everything that is in print today has been posted online yet).

Below you'll find information on where to find me and my writings in the online world.

Beyond that, you'll find links to all the human interest/features stories that ran in The Herald-News this past week.

Tonight, I'm attend an author event.

Tomorrow, I'm attending a book signing.

Sunday, I'm attending a fundraiser.

But other than that, my only plans are some reading and a whole lot of writing for my first book in the Limbo series and my werewolf novel, both part of the BryonySeries.

I'll be armed with plenty of quiet and coffee. All I'll need is for the muse to show up.

Wish me luck!

Non-bylined features:

Monday through Saturday I assembled my non-bylined works into one convenient file and posting them on Facebook in the evening, so readers can easily choose the ones they want to read.

Or search by topic (people, pets, A&E, faith, health, and food) at theherald-news.com.

Social media:

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.
