Let me start out by saying my music taste is a bit all over the place. I’m very much a mood writer and music has a huge influence on scenes, themes, and vibes of my works. Without further ado, in no particular order, here’s where my heads been at lately.
NIN
Dance with the Dead
Spiritbox
Sleep Token
Bad Omens
CLANN
bludnymph
Banshee
Lady Gaga
Iggy Azalea
Kendrick Lamar
Travis Scott
Childish Gambino
Run the Jewels
Exciting news this week. I will be attending Jordan Con at the end of the month for the first time. Of all the conventions I’ve gone to over the past decade plus, many several times over, it’s truly amazing I’ve somehow never been to Jordan Con. Though, in a few short weeks, that will all change. And apparently the fates have deemed I do it up big.
Long story short, a friend had to drop from the event last minute, which opened up a table in Author’s Alley. I had already begun prepping for selling at upcoming events later in the year, picking up some vending essentials as you do over the past couple weeks, then of course this little windfall just jumps right into my lap.
Now, if there’s one thing I’ve learned thus far in my author career, it’s that golden opportunities do not come along very often, and when they do, it’s rare they come when expected. Expected or not, don’t pass them up. Whatever the challenge, so long as you’re hale and hearty, go at it with everything you got. Worst case scenario, you learn what works and what doesn’t. You can’t ever fixate on failure (or potential failure) as loss. You must view it as progression. So, to the wolves, I’m thrown.
It was a huge deal for me that I got accepted as a guest, where I will be on three panels that are scheduled between Friday afternoon and Saturday. But now throw this little author table cherry on top, and what more can I say? I’m very fortunate.
To those that plan to come out, I hope to see you there. As before, as always, until next time, may your luck stones prosper!
Full jacket reveal for “Until the Crows Delight”, the fourth volume in the pulse-pounding dark fantasy horror series The Giftborn Chronicles.
New alliances will be forged and several more broken as House Lanier find themselves in a desperate race to unearth a storied incantation that may be their only means to saving the moon of Vaelsyntheria from a legion of eldritch creatures that cannot be reasoned with.
And yet times grow darker still for the royal nothings and their thorny band of misfit rebels. For an ancient evil lurks beyond the surface horror of the demon lord Tetherow and its blighted horde, pulling ever-so-cautiously at the threads of fate, inching the Laniers toward their inevitable destinies.
Anything is possible, every head is on the table, as the laws of nature begin to fray out of their proper order hurtling toward the end of the giftborn age. Who will play the hero? Who the villain? Who will survive, if any at all?
I plan to update and add a few sections to my author site in the coming weeks. A few additions I have in mind are World Lore of The Giftborn Chronicles, POV character sheets, a glossary, and potentially a music list.
In addition, I will also be working on a revamped Newsletter cycle that I plan to release monthly. It’s been quite a while since I’ve dabbled in newsletters and mailing lists, so this will very much be a work in progress to start.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my author blog and site, and doubly so for your patience as I work to improve it. Until next time, as always, may your luck stones prosper.
Welcome to the world of The Giftborn Chronicles
