What’s up in my life – Lots

I’m still recovering from JordanCon.  I met so many wonderful people – con-goers, authors, editors, artists, and it was such a memorable experience.  I’m already looking forward to going back next year!  I’ll have more posts to come soon, featuring the authors and editor I met.

Outside of that, I’ve been making lots of jewelry (and selling it on my etsy site TulipMagnolia.com), making last minute edits on one of my novels before handing it off to an editor (that will get a post of its own), working (because I have bills to pay), and hanging out with my partner and my cats (because I love them).

Authors I’ve Met – Gerald Brandt

Gerald Brandt at WFC 2018

At World Fantasy Con in Baltimore, MD, I was introduced to Gerald Brandt by David B. Coe.  Gerald has a number of books currently out, and a trilogy is under contract.

Here I am with the first book of his first series, The Courier.  Looking forward to reading it!

 

 

 

Authors I’ve Met – Paige L. Christie

Paige L. Christie writes the kind of books that I’d never read before:  “High Fantasy Meets High Noon” and “Feminist Western with Dragons” are the two phrases that describe her books best.  She has a distinctive style that I really enjoy. I’ve read the first two books in her Legends of Arnan series, Draigon Weather and Wing Wind, and I can’t wait for the third one to become available!

Authors I’ve Met – R.S. Beck

Happy Book Birthday to R. S. Beck, whose debut novel, Amber Witch, became available this past weekend!  The book is available on Amazon, as well as from Prospective Press, the publisher.

I pre-ordered Amber Witch, and I’m looking forward to reading it!

Authors I’ve Met – David B. Coe/D.B. Jackson

I’ve been following David B. Coe (aka D.B. Jackson) through a variety of cons in the last couple of years.  But Dragon Con 2018 is the first time I got my picture taken with him.  He’s written a wide variety of books, and I’ve read a few of them:  Spell Blind (The Case Files of Justis Fearsson Book 1), His Father’s Eyes (The Case Files of Justis Fearsson Book 2), and Tales of the Thieftaker (The Thieftaker Chronicles – as D.B. Jackson).  I’ve heard him read from his newest book, coming out October 2: Time’s Children (as D.B. Jackson), and I can’t wait for my pre-order to come in!

He’s a fabulous author and a really great guy, and if you like books that are engaging and intense, check them out!
