I posted the next chapter of The Wind is High on my website. Entitled "By the Fire," emotions flare. Are the strange boys as innocuous as Lissie believes, or will they be the danger Riley fears?

I came up with the idea of providing chapter-specific maps since I have total control over my website. I always wanted to give locations to people - as well as other, more mysterious information!

This is a fantasy map with a key giving information about Ariland Castle, Riley's Path and Gavin's Path. If you are interested in finding out about Riley, Gavin, and their home of Ariland, go to flythruthechaos.com to read about them for free!

If you ever wondered what would happen to Nancy Drew or the Hardy Boys once the fun and games become jobs and bills, The Boy Detective Fails by Joe Meno is the book for you. I posted my full review on my blog. (*****)

I'm just photographing and touching up my amazing map. My extremely talented friend drew it. Nothing makes a book feel real like a really good map!

I posted another chapter on my blog, flythruthechaos.com
I'm going to see how fast I can post chapters until the whole book is free to read. No ads, no monetization. Just a book, chapter by chapter.

I'm headed to a pumpkin farm tonight to grab some autumn decorations and lead my friends through some haunted houses. But the leaves are still green! I hope the corn is tall in the corn maze.

A Jack Russell terrier in a hammock on a porch in front of a green forest. Text on the screen reads 'When are the leaves going to change?' A foot in the same hammock with the text 'Soon'. The moon with text 'Right?' in the corner.

When he goes on his merry way
Like he did this very day
He does not walk
He shambles

The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley has my favorite description of beauty I've read. The plot has time travel entirely overshadowed by stellar characters. This book is for anyone that wishes they could interview a 18th century Arctic explorer.

The book, The Ministry of Time, open to the title page. A statuette of a sunbird holds the page open. A spice warmer, a notebook, and a cup of coffee surround. The Ministry of Time is closed in this shot. This shot is more open, with a large window showing a forest in the background.

Heroes, antiheroes, villains... Which gets the spotlight?

I got my first fan art for my first novel! It was amazing, she's a spectacular artist.

The other diners were nervous. She kept hearing the whispered phrase ‘The Weeping Roses’ and she felt herself swimming as she ate the fish. She had never been so grateful to eat a fish. Until she felt the hook.

Day 7: Good fortune?

I have gotten back some valuable information from beta readers for my manuscript entitled The Wind is High. The first few chapters are not nearly as good as the mid through end. Time to hit another round of editing!

6. Gavin is a walking sack of quirks, five pounds of crazy in a one pound sack. Cora stress-combs her hair. Lissie has started lighting fires...

Day 5: Risks in WIP

Trying to keep this YA while a woman wakes up in bed with 2 men... and then a man squeezes water into my protagonist's 17 year old mouth. It's uh... an emergency situation. Somehow that makes it both better and worse.

4. Do your characters believe in luck or fate?

Alexander believes in luck, but Lissie would do better if she believed in fate a little more. Unfortunately for the kingdom, Gavin believes in fate.
