MAY 2024 WRITING AND WANDERINGS #Newsletter
Last month, I took a road-trip south,
giving myself a jumpstart on spring. The highlights were visits to Petrified
Forest and Organ Pipe Cactus national parks. I’ve always loved the harsh beauty
of the desert southwest, and the cultural resources of Petrified Forest were an
added bonus.
Here at home, we are seeing signs of
spring, and I couldn’t be happier. Soon, my garden will be planted, the trees
will have leaves, and the temperatures will be much more pleasant.
I’m looking forward to getting out, exploring, and enjoying nature. I hope to share those adventures with friends, family, and fellow fans of adventure fiction and the great outdoors. If you aren’t following me already, stop by and check out any of my social media platforms (listed at the end of this post). Thanks in advance, and have a wonderful spring.
Refuge from the World (The Beartooth
Chronicles, Book 1) was released just
over a month ago, and reviews are coming come in. You can read the rest of this
review on Amazon.
The world-building is detailed, depicting not only the shifting
geography, but also the changes in wildlife behavior. From the beginning of the
story, a sense of danger looms over the characters that carries through to the
end, leading into the next book of the series coming this summer…
I highly recommend this slightly terrifying dystopian tale for
fans of Hunger Games and the Divergent Series. My Rating: 5 stars.” N.N. Light
I also want to express my sincere
gratitude to all who ordered my novel, and to give a special shout out to all readers who
write reviews or give ratings to books, which helps with a book’s visibility.
For those who haven’t yet grabbed a copy, I hope you will join in this unforgettable journey to the isolated mountain community of Beartooth.
It’s an epic story of survival, courage, and finding hope in the midst of an
environmental crisis and humanity in chaos.
The next novel in the series, Above
the Abyss (The Beartooth Chronicles, Book 2) will be released summer
2024. My awesome editor has already completed the first couple of rounds of
edits, which have been addressed and forwarded on for the next phase in the
proofreading and editing process. I’ve been very pleased with the amount of scrutiny given to my novel by the publisher, editors, and
staff at Fire & Ice Young
Adult & New Adult Books.
WHAT I’M READING
I’ve recently finished Morning Star,
the third novel in the Red Rising Series by Pierce Brown. Great story,
and I plan to continue with Iron Gold eventually, but thought I’d take a
break and read Gone by Michael Grant.
