Yes i know I should do this every day but between my poetry collections, getting Harry’s book together and helping on getting Reflections up and out I lost track of time. Thanks to all that work though I now have a number of new releasing showing up all over.
Twist of Fate is the most recent charity collection. Stephen Wilson is the man behind this one and it came out really exceptional. There are a lot of talented writers/poets/photographers and other people inside this book. I am very proud that I have two poems inside. The money from this book goes to those effected by the Tornadoes that destroyed so many homes in Oklahoma.
Reflections of the End is a facebook group anthology about what else? The end of the world. I submitted one piece to that one and hopefully it will be well received by the reading public. It just went up life this morning after all lot of shuffling around. I got added as an admin to this group so I could help push it through. These folks are another group of highly talented indie authors. We will now work on the second book..all kinds of stories about secrets.
The Writers stuff group is closing up submissions for their anthology and I have a tale in that one too. Plus we have been doing a bunch of drabbles to help fill pages. I have quite a few I have done but I am not sure if all of them will make it into the book. Drabbles are a lot of fun. Exactly 100 words written about an image. Good practice for sure.
Guardians of the Gate City is live on Barnes and Nobel, Kobo and Apple but for some reason not yet on Amazon. I put through the paperback version this morning on Createspace so it will be available to those who prefer a real book in their hands. I really hope people will buy the collection. That is a lot of Harry stories all in one place and I basically tossed in Sudden Disappearances for free!
The two poetry collections are out and available and I will work on finishing the third one next month. I needed to step away from that one. Just too intense. I plan on finishing up a few short stories this month instead. Blackbird is two thirds done and then I can dive into a few other projects.
My sales might have been slow in June but at least I had some. Not as many as in May but I am told things go like that. I got one review of my own work and a few of the anthologies. Funny thing about anthologies some people just don’t get them. I know we got dinged on one of the collections because of all things that the stories were not all set in the US by American authors…really? I mean anthologies are so you can try out a new author, see if you want to read more of there work. No where in the description did it say the book was US or American based. Now I can understand wanting to read stuff like that but dont expect it to be there if it isn’t listed in the blurb…
