The good news is that I’ve got a bunch of things going on that I want to tell you about; the bad news is that I have a bunch of things going on. In short I’m gonna throw some info at you about TV tour dates, audiobook progress, beta reader signups for Book Two, and pre-purchase info for the hardcover version of Gift of the Shaper!

Let’s jump right into it with this first piece of news…

I’ve officially got a television highlight reel

I was lucky enough to be invited to appear on TMJ4’s Morning Blend this past week and I managed to get through the entire segment without swearing on live TV or having a wardrobe malfunction.

Check out the full segment here!

Phoenix, I’m coming for you!

I’ve added a few more stops on my trips across the country, and Phoenix is up next! Check it out and let me know if I’ll be in your neck of the woods!

Look for me this Sunday on Good Morning Arizona.

Audiobook progress: slowly but surely

I got a new batch of chapters to QC from my editor/producer, John, not to mention putting the first ten chapters up for free. We are still aiming for a release date of 3/15, but just in case, sign up for my newsletter and I’ll email you as soon as it drops!

Awaken the Three – beta reader signup

I’m still a few weeks into the initial rounds of beta reader feedback for book two of the Highglade Series: Awaken the Three. If you liked Gift of the Shaper and/or have a keen eye for editing, email me here to sign up! It’s free, and all I ask is that you leave comments and feedback for me.

which brings me to my LAST piece of news for this update:

Gift of the Shaper is now available in hardcover!

This is probably my favorite update and for some reason I’m putting it last. While I think it’s a good idea to save the best for last like Vanessa Williams says (or Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies if you’re into that punk rock stuff), I probably shouldn’t have buried the lead. Yet here we are.

But, if you (like me) are the type of person who prefers the hardcover version of books, you can pre-order your very own copy here and have it shipped into your waiting arms when it drops on March 10th.

WHEW!

Okay.

That was a lot. I hate dropping updates all at once like this, but I guess it’s better than not doing them at all.

If you’ve stuck with me this far, first round is on me when we hang out. Thanks for stopping by.
