Hey folks!
I’ve been neglecting my website a bit as I haven’t had any big, shiny news to share in a little while. Still, it helps to keep this place alive and breathing. I thought I’d share some of the work I’ve been doing offline, and online elsewhere, come to think of it.
Patreon is actually a really fun platform for both creators and supporters. It’s super easy to use, has a very reasonable entry point (just $1 makes a difference), and I came up with some interesting ways to share my work with readers including interactive storytelling. My main goals are to raise money for editing, book design, and marketing for the short story collection I’ve been talking about here at my blog; plus I want to get my follow up to The City of Seven Gods out into the world.
It’s been such a busy time of year, I’m not going to do any better than putting up one post this month. It’s my annual Happy Holidays post, and I’m reminded of how much I have to be grateful for this year. As a writer, I could not keep at it without my family, friends, readers, writing colleagues, and publishing house staff cheering me on. I am incredibly fortunate to have so many supportive people behind me!
Husband and I spent last week in Mexico City, which was a first time trip for both of us. We were hosted by friends who own an amazing B&B in the Condesa district, and I have to give their business a plug, even though it hardly needs it. The guys Craig and Jorge have established the top rated B&B in Mexico City, and the place is thriving: The Red Tree House.
