August means…

ACFW Conference in Memphis at the Peabody Hotel!

Lots to prepare: custom banner and custom table poster from Office Depot, check; books purchased for the bookstore, check; books logged into inventory and inventory tags created, check; books signed and embossed with the dragon horde stamp, not finished. Still a few weeks to go.

In addition, I’ve started a new book to pitch. I know, I know, it’s supposed to be a finished manuscript. The one I’ve nearly finished is promised to Winged Publications. So, the new one will have to do.

Some of you are receiving this newsletter because you signed up during the Christmas in July 2026 Reader Extravaganza! I sent out a print book with a special Christmas bookmark (jewelry for your book!) and an e-book to the grand prize winner. So many of you signed up that I moved my newsletter from mail-chimp to my website! Hopefully all goes well with this inaugural issue of this newsletter.
