Song of the Week

Sir Sly and Lizzy Plapinger, “Inferno”

Good morning!

If you’ll be in Southest Wisconsin this weekend, the Kenosha Book Festival will be this Sunday (the 28th) from 10-3 at Studio Moonfall! For the address and more information, that link will have everything you need. I’ll be there, and a whole bunch of cool independent authors will be also.

If crowds aren’t your thing, I’ll also be at Studio Moonfall for an Author Night on May 24. More on that as we get closer to the date.

I am THREE chapters away from the end of the first draft of Journey to the Water. Gods willing and I don’t get Covid again, I’ll have that finished up this week. In the meantime, I’m still posting chapters, so you’ll get a new one on Patreon tomorrow and last week’s chapter will be up here on Wednesday. I appreciate everyone who’s taking this journey with me. At one chapter a week, it will be 3-4 months before the whole draft is posted, by which time I should be close to finishing my edits.

I don’t have very many petitions for you today, but here’s what I’ve got:

Via Demand Progress: Halt weapons transfers to Israel

Via Save the Children: Protect Sudan’s kids from conflict

Via the Friends Committee on National Legislation: Tell Congress to invest in peace

Also, it’s Earth Day! I hope you can get outside sometime today.

Thanks for being here. Have an excellent week.

Event: Kenosha Book Festival, Chapter One

On April 28 (a week from Sunday), I’ll be at the Kenosha Book Festival at Studio Moonfall: 5031 7th Avenue, Kenosha, WI. It will be open from 10 in the morning until 3 in the afternoon, and feature a slate of very cool indie authors (if I do say so myself), food trucks, and special deals. Here’s a link to the Facebook event and here are Studio Moonfall’s other events.

I was a last-minute addition, and I’m very excited to be attending! Hope to see you there!
