Mostly Good News Edition
Writing update
It’s been a bit of a struggle finishing up the third of four novellas for Desperate Dispatches, book 2.5 in the Protectors of Pretanni series. But the weather today is fairly terrible – off and on rain all day – so I’ve set a goal of finishing the last chapter and epilogue by tonight. My carrot is that I get to watch the new D&D movie as a reward. Let’s hope I don’t roll a 1 today.
In addition, I’ve written the first draft of a novella for a scifi anthology. It ties into the first book I ever wrote, The Halley Traveler; which currently is very lonely on my hard disk. After I finish Desperate Dispatches, I plan on revisiting 24th century Mars. This will be the last time I focus on The Halley Traveler. It’s either publish or let the project die.
News
My book Becoming A Druid, has been entered in this year’s SPFBO competition. That’s the Self Published Fantasy Blog Off (i.e., “Spiffbo”). The contest features 300 self-published books and ten of the largest fantasy blogs to judge them. The winner gets a selfie stick, so it’s not about winning. The whole contest is about shining a brighter light on some high-quality self-published fantasy. I’m thrilled to be in this year. For more information, go to either of these sites:
Social Media Update
First, my newsletter mailing list has over 500 members now! I had hoped to type those words sometime next year, but the response has been overwhelming. Thank you one and all.
Second, my editor, good friend and fellow author, Roe Bushey and I will be launching our own YouTube channel next month entitled Bald and Balding. I’m the bald one. Expect an update as soon as we have a launch date.
Finally, the time has come. I’ve joined Twitter. You can find me @mike_mollman. I should have joined years ago. In the communities I’m in, it’s been (mostly) civil. If you’re on Twitter, look me up and say hi!
