MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY NEW YEAR, AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!!!!

Thank you, thank you to every single one of you for being a part of this amazing author journey of mine.

You have made it possible for me to create so many incredible things -- I absolutely could not have done it without every single one of YOU!

I am so grateful to you for your support, encouragement, and faith in me as a storyteller, as well as your devotion to the Legacy of Lucky Logan world ... it's a world and characters I have certainly fallen in love with over the years, and it brings me great joy to know there are others out there who feel the same about them! <3

I wanted to stop by to send you all a note of appreciation, gratitude, and well wishes for the year ahead!!! 

As well as to let you know, for all those of you who ordered the special DELUXE editions of Bargain at Bravebank and/or Bastard of Blessing...

THE DELUXE HARDBACKS ARE CURRENTLY UNDERWAY!

The holidays delayed this process somewhat, but things are squared away now and the printer is getting to work, whoohoo!!!

And of course I will continue to keep you updated on the milestone developments as we finally get closer and closer to you holding those extra-beautiful books in your hands!!! ^_^

Can't WAIT!!!!

And lastly...

As past supporters of this series in novel form, I wanted YOU to be among the first to know that in 2024, I will be endeavoring to bring this world and these characters to THE BIG SCREEN.

That's right, y'all!!! We're going to make a MOVIE!!!!

I've always seen this series as a tv show, to be honest. But I made it into a series of novels because that's what I knew how to do best at the time. 

However, over the past two years I have been lucky enough to get to know a few people who have extensive experience in the movie-making field, and after many long talks with them, this hare-brained idea was born. Lol.

We're going to make the baddest-ass short film we can manage based on book 1, Bargain at Bravebank. Then we're going to take it to film festivals. And if the stars align and the deal is right... it may yet have the chance to become a tv series! Fingers crossed!

To that end, my publishing company has created an "expanded media" arm doing business as WORDWRAITH STUDIOS, which will be producing this project. And if YOU want to be a part of this action as well, you can follow along over on THE FILM'S prelaunch page!!! 

 Want more Firefly? Love The Dark Tower series? Crave more action-packed western adventure in your life? Then here's your huckleberry...

This is going to be EPIC and I'm soooooo excited!!!

More news on that coming soon as well as we wrap up the Bastard of Blessing special edition campaign! Woot!

Thank you again so much to all of you... and here's to a brand new year!!

ALL NON-DELUXE HARDBACKS HAVE NOW SHIPPED!!!
5 months ago – Sun, Nov 19, 2023 at 03:02:29 PM

Hello my fabulous backers!!!

I am so happy to send this update today... because as of last week:

ALL NON-DELUXE HARDBACKS + ALL OTHER NON-DELUXE ORDERS HAVE SHIPPED!!!

Well, except for ONE. 

You see... my new kittens chewed up the corner of my last Bastard of Blessing paperback, which was supposed to go out to one of my backers. To say I was exasperated is an understatement.

But I mean... look at those faces! How can you be mad? :P

And so, into the pile of "to discount" books that one goes... OOF.

In any event, if you are the dear who ordered books 1-3 in paperback, your books are coming SOON! As soon as my new order of Bastard of Blessing paperbacks arrives, everything else of yours is ready and will go out ASAP!!

Thank you so much to all of you for your patience! I super appreciate you!

For my DELUXE HARDBACK peeps...

I am finding that working with printers outside of my usual printer to be... quite frustrating, to be honest. It's been like pulling teeth to get the right templates and file formats out of them...

And the printer I finally decided on is BETTER at this than all the others I'd tried before, too! Wowie. 

HOWEVER... we finally got the correct templates AND the correct file formats AND my wonderful assistant who is a WIZARD at formatting got everything all fixed up and correct to their specifications!

So now all I have to do is send everything over to them and make the actual order! WHEW!

I'll be working on that this coming week, and will keep you updated on how all of that progresses too, of course! ^_^

We can see the light at the end of the tunnel now, my dears! Thank you again for being so patient! Your beautiful books will be worth it!

For my USA dears, I hope you have a wonderful and warm Thanksgiving holiday next week!

And to everyone else... have a great regular week ahead! ;)

I'll be back again after those fancy DELUXE hardbacks are underway!
