Well how’s about this for a nice Friday blog post!

My contest had fantastic engagement and I was able to break that 400 page like barrier on my Facebook Author page!! So as promised – I drew for TWO winners to receive a signed and personalized copy of The Girl Who Hid in the Trees!! WOOT WOOT!!

 

SOOOOOO….

I’ll announce those at the end of the post! (haha!  come on, I still want you to read a little!)

I’ll keep this brief!

What I’m Working on;

I’ve potentially got some insane and stellar news about my impending June release of The Stranger and the artwork.  Fingers crossed this works out!  I’ll keep you posted.

Otherwise I’ve been grinding away on a bunch of projects!

What music’s been on;

I listen to such a variety, but this week I’ve been listening to one album a bunch.  The Ghost Inside was involved in a horrific accident a few years back.  The members have all had to endure multiple surgeries, amputations and it was never looking like they’d do anything again.  Their drummer lost a leg, but has since designed a system that let’s him play still.  And recently it was announced that they would perform a single concert in 2019.  Because of that I’ve been listening to their last album Dear, Youth a bunch.  It’s a really solid bit of metal, and lyrically, with what they’ve overcome, it couldn’t be more fitting.  Here’s a playlist of the entire album;

 

What I’m reading;

Isle of Savages – T. Briar.  It’s ok so far.  I’m hoping it picks up.

Remains – Andrew Cull.  I’m beta reading this and holy hell is it stunning.

What I’m up to;

This week has seen me living the bachelor life as my wife and son were up in Fort Mac helping my In-laws start to get ready for their move.  So I was able to watch a bunch of movies, which I posted about on my various social media accounts.  I’ll try and watch two more movies tonight then pick them up tomorrow!  Can’t wait to see them!
