Women of the Weird West
Another cover reveal happened this week, for a book I've got a story in! This is edited by KC Grifant, and out via Brigid's Gate Press in June: Women of the Weird West:
Goodreads
The story I wrote is called "The Stinger of Hellbinder Gulch" and it's one of the spookiest short stories I've ever written! It's an honor to be part of this book (that roster!!). KC and I are actually co-editing a Weird West anthology next year at Stars and Sabers. More on that later. Women of the Weird West should be up for preorder soon, so keep an eye out for it!
What Does Star Wars Mean to You? Podcast Interview
The wonderful folks at the podcast What Does Star Wars Mean to You? had me on the show recently, and you can listen to how Star Wars has impacted my life. A great interview!

This is most welcome! Also, I got some bookmarks for the book, so I officially have merch for Dungeon Crawl at the Haunted Mall, my actual Choose Your Own Adventure book! Exciting!

One Month to The Vale of Seven Dragons!
We're just one month out to the release of my fantasy debut novel, The Vale of Seven Dragons! Publishing April 7. Preorder in hardcover, paperback, or ebook from your favorite bookseller. I'm writing the sequel now! Some suggested links:
Event News Forthcoming
There are several events I'm part of this year, and I'm waiting on finalizations to share some of those details in my upcoming newsletters. Because there's a lot happening fast, you'll see at least one more from me this month; maybe two. That's unusual, because this Spring is full of fun, book-related things!
Writing Update
I'm writing like the wind to catch up to my book deadline for the second Vale of Seven Dragons trilogy book, Coursers of Wings and Flame. After that gets turned in, I will switch over to new, not-yet-contracted manuscripts. I actually have loads of those going back for years, and I'm going to start looking for publishing homes for them.
That's it for now! Thanks so much for following along.
Write on!
