New cover art created by the amazing Graham Ganson is underway on the first book of my new Rayden Valkyrie duology. I love his work and can't wait to see what he comes up with! Book One is titled Beyond the Gates, Book Two is titled The Light Within. If all goes well, we might be able to get Beyond the Gates out just in time for Christmas! #writerslife

I'm doing three events before the end of the year, and the first of these is the Ink in the Hills Book Festival, Saturday, November 14th in London Kentucky. It is the first major book event of its kind to take place in that area, and I am proud to support Gary Bryant and his team that are putting this event on. Gary has a great vision for the festival, and this area of the state has really needed an event like this. I'll be moderating a panel on the horror genre, Holly will be there too, and we also have a table in the festival. It will be a great time, and I encourage everyone to support this festival, especially in its inaugural year!

Want to give a shout out to the Blah, Blah, Blah Writers Group (whose co-founder, Liz Carey, we just hosted on the Star Chamber Show this week). They are doing a book launch event Saturday for the newest installment of their annual anthology! Authors such as Chad Elliott and Leila Mutter (who is making her publishing debut!) are in it too! Takes place Saturday at 7 PM at the iconic Joseph-Beth Booksellers in Lexington, KY! #writerslife #writingcommunity
