And there went September! Wow, what a month! And yes, I know, what happened to the blog post? Well, you see how fast that month went by? Yes, me too! Two events, a SECOND BOOKSTORE locally to Colorado Springs taking my books, and the beginning of the writing process of No Tears (Parabellum) saw September whiz past me. I do apologize for the lack of a blog post, but I do hope you know why.

Now, where to start? Well, as already mentioned, I had 2 book events in September. One at the local Colorado Springs, Colorado local flea market, the other at a horror expo. While the prior was not as fruitful as I had hoped, the horror expo saw me SELL OUT of all of my books! It was an amazing feeling to see some real progress in the selling avenue, with me leaving with only 3 books (my promotional books) that I sold the very next week. I have one more event planned for the year towards the end of the year in December. As of right now, I am navigating these events with the help of friends, as I have yet to master the navigation to find these events myself---part a lack of confidence on my part, part a lack of a central database to reach out to. With that said, the contacts I have been making, I plan on reaching out to, etc.

​For bookstores, I now have my books at TWO bookstores in Colorado Springs, Colorado! The beforehand mentioned (in a prior blog post) 2 Bucks Books on the north side of town and now, Westside Stories in Downtown Colorado Springs! And I have been selling copies of my books! Whoop! Whoop!

Now, onto No Tears (Parabellum). I have been in the writing process of the conclusion to the No Tears series. I am already in discussion with my artist for the book cover as well. While I am only 5 chapters in as of the writing of this blog post, unlike my previous books, this book is more or less scripted from beginning to end. What I mean by that, is that since this is the final book in the series, the ending (writing & planning as well) is straight forward: it has to be end all of the storylines from Northern Company in 2021 and I plan on doing just that. Release date is still planned for 2025, unless October and November can see a fruitful writing month and I can get the book out by December.
