Story Round-Up: Features in The Herald-News, June 26 through July 2

Good morning!

I have twenty feature stories to share with you this morning - with another sixteen that haven't posted to The Herald-News website yet, so watch for them over the weekend.

I had my second COVID shot yesterday, and I'm happy to say I met ALL my deadlines for this week, in advance of the holiday weekend and the shot, so I'm planning to read, rest, and binge-watch the current K-drama I'm enjoying wiht Rebekah (who got her first shot yesterday) instead of the half hour before bedtime that's our usual habit.

I do have a big project that I should have tackled, too, but it's not due for a while, and I'll get it done. But I did want to make more progress on it this past week than I did.

Here's a quick summary of where I'm at, fiction-wise. Although, honestly, I may not tackle any of them this weekend.

The next book in The Adventures of Cornell Dyer chapter book series: Cornell Dyer and the Whispering Wardrobe is now live in print and Kindle. Buy it here on Amazon and buy it here from the BryonySeries store.

I'm currently co-writing the next Cornell Dyer story with Rebekah. It's actually a book she started years ago and had 4,000 words written. I'm building off that and even worked her dyslexia into the story. She approves all chapters before I move on. It's called Cornell Dyer and the "Mistical" Being.

Timothy has another Cornell Dyer story mentally worked out (Cornell Dyer and the Calcium-Deficient Bones, I have two other Cornell Dyer projects in the very early works.

And then, for down the road, Sarah had a crazy dream that sounded perfect for An Adventure of Cornell Dyer mystery. Bur she wants time to draw some sketches, a map, and write the "rules." It's called Cornell Dyer and the House of Broken Portals.

I'm hearing rumors that Bertrand the Mouse might be reincarnated for my sixtieth birthday in two weeks. We shall see...

The first book in the new BryonySeries Limbo trilogy The Phoenix is now available in the BryonySeries store and also on Amazon in print and Kindle.

And I FINALLY made some real progrss on the second book of the Limbo trilogy: Call of the Siren. Nancy Calkins did the cover art for it already. I just need to write it!

I also have an artist for a "Girls of the BryonySeries" series for tween girls, a series Sarah suggested to me a decade ago. The first cover is in progress (the biggest problem was finding someone who could do portraits well), and I've outlined several books.

Now back to the twenty feature 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 Sunday, we post a new recipe. The recipe is either featured in one of our cookbooks or will be featured in an upcoming cookbook.

Check out the recipe here.

WRITERS

If you're a writer anywhere in the world, you're welcome to join WriteOn Joliet's Facebook page. We're based in Joliet, Illinois, but we love to meet and interact with writers outside our area, too.

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

I also suggest this book: Little Book of Revision: A Checklist for Fiction Writers. It's exactly as it says. Each page some with one suggestion for revision. The rest of the page is blank, so you can add your own notes. All proceeds benefit WriteOn Joliet.

If you need support in your writing, I highly recommend this Twitter group: #5amwritersclub. I joined it last year. Writers support each other on Twitter and meet every three weeks at 5 a.m. (4 a.m. CST - needless to say, I am often late!) on Zoom.

If you need editing or help with self-publishing, check out dmbaranunland.com.

ARTISTS

If you need an artist for a project, I offer these recommendations.
