Winter Break=Writing Time

[busy-source]

 I kept hoping that I'd be able to squeeze time in for writing n the middle of work and chaos of my life.  But I've been working more than ever before, with a to-do list a mile long every time I paused from my regular job, including another job that ate up far more time than it should.  But now, we're moving toward the holidays, my load is lightening up.  Both jobs and my other burdens (other than mommying) are about to release their grip on me, for at least a few weeks, until a new semester begins in earnest.  

[Into a good book-source]

I plan to make a lot of progress toward bringing you those books I've been promising you, both the Doomimals chapter book series I've been writing and the bonus books, Just Us Chickens, about my boy's superhero group of chickens.  Ideally, they'll come to you before summer comes.  I don't have a set date yet, but when I do, those who watch this blog will be the first to know.  

My Nephew's Book

 

My nephew, Thomas Paxton, and I have been working on our books in parallel courses for years.  He has finally published his, indie style, and is paving the way for me to publish mine.  He will be my guide, as he has been on many things, as I go that way sometime soon.  His book, Crimson Nightfall: Everything Burns, is a dark fantasy about kids caught up in a dark war.  It's available for you on Amazon. 

He calls it a story of healing.  He's even received a voice of support by one of his favorites, Darren Shan.  The summary of his book reads as follows: 

In the world of Terra'Far, a nightmarish reality of monsters...A chorus of darkness and light...
Peter Wulfric gets lured into a blood-thirsty dance of shadows with Abraxan, the Gatekeeper of Souls.
A war of souls brew[s] between King Kresh and Priestess Alex, two monarchs, which rises from a pit of death.  A boy must learn to embrace his heritage as Shadowfang...Peter, his trusty hell-hound Aries, Vyrima, Sam, Vilus, and Orion adventure through the depths of darkness. Together, Peter and his friends who comprise the Shadow's Hand must rise to face the Unholy Trinity to prevent destruction to their world...

I have ordered this book and look forward to reading it, myself.  It's very different from my chapter books, but I know if you like dark fantasy that delves into the soul, this will be worth reading.
