Author Friends: If your books need reviews and you don't mind giving reviews to others you should check out Revvue. (it's free!) I blogged about it. My poetry book has really benefitted from reviews it's received lately. www.brassbrightcity.com/2025/11/30/a...

Seriously. You don't mess with Marilyn Whirlwind. She's a national treasure.
Miles, an Indigenous actor best known for her roles in “Northern Exposure,” “Smoke Signals,” “Wyvern” and “The Last of Us,” handed them her tribal ID from the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation in Oregon.

Yet, Miles recalled one agent calling it “fake.”
‘Northern Exposure’ actor gave ICE agents in Redmond her tribal ID. They called it ‘fake,’ she says
Indigenous actor Elaine Miles of "Northern Exposure" was detained by ICE at a Redmond bus stop. When she showed them her Tribal ID, they told her it was fake.

Repost to make an author's dream come true!
It still feels surreal that people connected with the first book, and I'd love to give something back.

If this post hits 500 shares, I'll make the Beyond The Mark eBook free for all of December.

No catch, just a thank you for the support and a push to keep me writing.

My next newsletter goes out tomorrow! In it I'll reveal the entrance to Hidden Door #5. The door will lead explorers behind the scenes to learn about the inspiration and creation of "The Flight To Brassbright". It's part of the 10th anniversary celebration of the book. (1 of 2)

The old cover has now been obliterated from every legit site on the internet. If you didn't grab one as a collector's item, you can console yourself with the nicer new cover!

A little dream I've had for years is that we would normalize giving a book instead of a greeting card. Write a message inside the cover, add the date, create a keepsake. Happy Holidays! #Holidays #Books #ReaderSky

The MOST FUN part about releasing a new book cover for an already established book is finding all the nooks and crannies around my websites and the internet to update that cover.

After ten years, The Flight To Brassbright has been given a facelift! The old cover was a bit polarizing: people either loved it or hated it. (more)
