Books, Books, Glorious Books

It's time to celebrate many book releases and cover reveals, but first, an update for The Insecure Writer's Support Group Guide to Publishing and Beyond:

The IWSG Guide to Publishing and Beyond
As some of you know, this book has been a lot of hard work editing, proof-reading, collating, formatting. We are super thrilled about it. As a team, we even conquered the synopsis. It's coming together in an exciting way. The articles from over 100 writers across the globe are brilliant, informative, inspiring. There's still a lot yet to be done, but we're on track for the December release!

We even have a snazzy trailer for the book, created by HJ Blenkinsop. 


A Lizard's Tail by Bish Denham
When a feral cat threatens the lives of all who live at Stone Wall, Marvin knows his destiny has finally arrived. But how can a young, vain lizard get rid of such a dangerous enemy?

For the last three weeks I've been going through some personal/medical stuff that has been super draining so I haven't been around much. My apologies. It's not over. Unfortunately. Sigh. While it's not life-threatening, it is still something that requires unfun tests and waiting and if I'm unlucky, then surgery. Joy. On a high note, I'll be going to a gaming conference next week. A timely distraction. So I won't be posting again until November 3rd. Prayers and virtual hugs are welcome.

Are you excited about these books? What other books are you excited about? What have you been reading recently?

  1. Prayers for you! God is stronger than whatever the issue.
    And here you had a ton of work on the IWSG book on top of all that.
    Excited for all the new releases from my author buddies!

  2. I'm sorry to hear about the medical issues. Prayers and hugs as requested and required. I'd have loved to provide an article for the guide to publishing and beyond, but time just ran away from me.

  15. Lynda, thanks so much for the feature! You are epic. Here, have some cheese to help you feel better. I'll even insert some magic. It may or may not work for healing. (It's old--the magic.) ;)

    Wishing you increased health, awesome woman!

    1. If I'm epic, does that make me purple? (couldn't resist the WoW reference). Humor--and cheese--goes a long way. And thanks for the magic too :)

  33. So sorry to hear about your health worries. I went through that in Aug and can attest to the fact health concerns don't just sap your strength, they increase your mental stress level as well. I hope you don't end up needing surgery. Take care of yourself.

    Thanks for news on all the new releases!
