Summer’s End

It’s been a busy and exciting summer of camping and adventures. I drove many kilometers this summer while going the Vancouver Island a couple of times and to Alberta for a Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids Summer Camp. I had many nights of sitting around camp fires laughing and enjoying the company of my fellow pagans.

I managed to finish up the 2nd draft of Shadow Fox and it’s currently being read over by a few trusted friends. I am just about ready to take the feedback they have given me and move the book into the next phase – open Beta on Wattpad. From there, I will open it up to anyone who wants to read it. They can leave comments right in the text for everyone to see. After it’s been up there for a while, I will take the suggested edits that I agree with and then start the process of querying a literary agent. I’ll be also getting it ready for self-publishing with Ingramspark. Should I decided that traditional publishing isn’t for me, then I will be ready for that.

Meanwhile, I have started the planning phase for not one but two new books. First is the follow up book to Shadow Fox and the second is a new cozy autumn inspired book set in the same world as Shadow Fox but at a different time.

As the summer comes to its close over the next couple of weeks, I will be getting myself focused on my dark part of the year writing routine. I’ve recently gotten my evening reading routine back into place and I have started journaling again. There’s still a few more events that I am attending in September and October but I might as well get started on my routine since books do not write themselves.
