April 16, 2024

Interview: Over on Marie Bilodeau’s blog, A Coffee Break with Jennifer Brozek where I answer three simple questions.

Interview: Roll with Rem Alternis on GenConTV. YT video. 3-53 minutes. We kind of talk all over the place. Rem is a great interviewer.

Kickstarter: “Dear Penpal, Belgium 1980.” Looking for something unusual for you or a loved one? How about a cozy ghost story told by snail mail? It’s the gift of escape tunnels, ghosts, and adventure told over 24 letters that will ship worldwide. Appropriate for 8+. The campaign has funded and met its first stretch goal, so I added a new one! “The Old House on Highway 109” is a 30-day emailed ghost story to run in Oct 2024. Check it out! #ProjectWeLove #DearPenpal

Spotlight: Spring into Horror Author Spotlight: Jennifer Brozek. I will be at the HWA Seattle Chapter Barnes & Noble Event (Totem Lake) on May 11th, 2024 along with so many other awesome authors!

Shoutout: From Amazing Stories about “Dear Penpal, Belgium 1980.” We’re funded and our first stretch goal is met!

Shoutout: Marie Bilodeau. There is no Church of Writing. Do not listen to the Evangelists. No truer words. All writing advice is just opinion based on the experience of the writer.

Shoutout: E. A. Hendryx. Falling Through the Black, a no-spice, romantic YA Science Fantasy adventure. Funded! Kickstarter ends on 27 April.

Shoutout: Jason Matias, local PNW artist. I absolutely love his artwork. I really want to own one of his pictures: Ice Cave with a View.

Support: As always… if you appreciate my work and would like to support me, I love coffee. I am made of caffeine. This is the quickest way to brighten my day.

March Monthly Stat Thing

April 1, 2016

I’m going to ignore that it is the first of April and pretend that “lie and be cruel to the people who trust you most” day doesn’t exist. Year-to-date stats:Fiction words written: 58,210 / 200,000Article words written: 4230My novels/collections edited: 3Other novels/anthologies edited: 4Events attended: 4 / 9 Mostly, I’m boring. I’m drafting my Shadowrun novel, MAKEDA RED. This means no social media until I hit word count unless there are extenuating circumstances… like picking up my new car. I didn’t want to have to buy a new car, but mine got totaled at the end of February. I’m still reeling from sticker shock, but I do like my new car. It’s a Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid in sage green. I got my all wheel drive hatchback. The Husband got his hybrid. We’re both happy. We think he’s told us his name but we’ve got to drive it a bit more...
