A Writer’s Week #147: New Year, New Stuff

  So 2025 has come to an end, and suddenly, I'm looking around and we're already into February of 2026! Where does the time go? For me, from an author standpoint, January and February are primarily time to take a breath and take stock of both the previous year and the new one--what's just happened and what I want to happen.

This past year has been great. I met a lot of great readers and writers and expanded the reach of my books. Thank you all so much for your support and enthusiasm. It means the world to me. 

I was also able to complete a new novella based in the Dragon Islands. Once again, Emily Hurst Pritchett came up with a great cover and maps.

Even though January went by quickly, it was a momentous month. I released Fire & Ice on New Year’s Day. It really turned out great and could be the best thing I’ve written yet.

I have also begun writing the next book in the Dragon Island Legends series. I don’t have a title for it yet, but it will shed some light on the origins of a very famous guild. Right now I’ve written only about 800 words, but it’s underway. I hope to have it published by the end of this year, but don’t quote me on that.

In the meantime, I still need to set up my show schedule. My first show of the year will be this Saturday at the Westbrook Outlets in Westbrook, CT. The show runs from 11:00-3:00 and features a bunch of Connecticut Book Festivals authors. Always great hanging with that crew and selling a few books. The show will be the first where I’ll be selling Fire & Ice, so stop by and get a copy. 

I suppose that’s it for now. Keep warm and I’ll update you on how the writing’s progressing soon.

Peace
