The ebb and flow of the seasons brings back a tighter schedule in September. I usually find it hard to let go of that easy summer vibe. Shouldn’t life always be thus? This year is different. For more than a month, I’ve been panting for autumn to arrive. No, the heat didn’t cause my breathlessness, well only indirectly. Wildfire smoke running rampant in my state was the culprit.

The smoke receded a bit, and I’m feeling better. I even managed to go for a short hike on Labor Day.  Here’s the trail I walked down. There’s a story somewhere in those shadows, I’m sure.

Fall, my favorite season, is right around the corner. There’s a certain excitement in the brisk air. Leaves flame with color. Mists dance above the rivers. I’m particularly happy to move into the last part of the year because of what it will bring. Read on for a run-down.

Reader News 

Here’s the latest on my books in three genres and other writings.

Epic Fantasy

For a limited time only digital copies of DawnSinger (Tales of Faeraven, book 1) are  discounted to 99¢. My publisher sets the usual  retail price much higher than that and doesn’t reduce it often. If you want to read this book for less, I suggest taking advantage of this offer. The special price is part of the Christian eBook Bonanza & Giveaway, a huge promotional effort that includes lots of prizes and books at steep discounts. Again, this is available for a short time only, so grab it while its golden.

My publisher has given a release date for the launch of Sojourner. The third book in the Tales of Faeraven medieval epic high fantasy series will arrive in October 2019. I’m about to give a sneak peek at the cover. Curious?

What’s next for the epic fantasy genre? Look for the novella, Elf Seeyer, in summer 2019. 

Western Historical Romance

Hills of Nevermore (Montana Gold, book 1) and Cheyenne Sunrise (Montana Gold, book 2)  are available in eBook and print (priced at $3.99 and $12.99 respectively). Both are available free on Kindle Unlimited.  Purchase these titles from the bookstore.

I’m waiting to make revisions based on proofreader’s notes to Stagecoach to Liberty, the third book in the Montana Gold western historical romance series. After that, I’ll perform my own proofread. This is all part of the process to ready a book for publication.   

I’m currently plotting and researching The Forever Sky (Montana Gold, book 4), which will release in 2019.
