Story Round-Up: Catching Up With Feature Stories in The Herald-News

Good busy Friday morning!

Below are the bylined stories that have run in The Herald-News features section over the past couple weeks.

There's only a few, and that's for two reason: I used up the last of my vacation time at the end of the year, and I've been playing catch-up at work since I've returned).

This weekend, I do plan to add at least one chapter to two novels I currently have in progress: Lycanthropic Summer (the werewolf story) and The Phoenix (the first in The Limbo trilogy).

On Saturday, I have a list of miscellaneous BryonySeries business work,  a fundraising book for WriteOn Joliet I need to finish formatting, and a possible lunch date with two of my grandchildren (depending on if the weather holds).

Sunday is church and a second planning meeting for WriteOn Joliet.

And tonight after work I have a coffee date with Sue Midlock, the illustrator for The Adventures of Cornell Dyer, a very laid-back meeting to chat about our love for supernatural books.

For those who are new to my blog, I have a list of places to find me online and then, onward to the stories!

Have a great Friday, readers, writers, and BryonySeries fans! :)

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): 

 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.

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.

Books and Such

Information on my books (including where to buy) along with upcoming events is at www.bryonyseries.com. If you have any questions, email me at bryonyseries@gmail.com.

Thank you for reading The Herald-News. And for reading this blog. And if you've read (or plan to read) any of my books. Your support is greatly appreciated.
