Didn't work on the dev edit today, between running the Space Wizard Year 4 part 2 campaign (now half funded!), cleaning out old beehive frames, and getting ready for the Geekery Market this weekend at the Cabarrus Events Center!

Oooooh friends. It’s that time of year again.
Cut Amazon out of the equation! My publisher is doing the Year 4 Backerkit RIGHT NOW and THE DRAGONSCALE COMB is part of it.

Help support small press AND get more dragons, feral pegasi, and princess kissing

Worked on the new developmental edit today, then cleaned out a Flowhive frame colonized by wax moths. Had to take the whole thing apart. Ick!

It's the end of the first trilogy, but not the end of the series! Read Ardulum: Third Don by J.S. Fields, find out how this story concludes, and then jump into the next book!

The best way to learn how to crowdfund is to do it! We've got a lot of great people in this group and you should check out all their work.
Fund indie creators directly, not big businesses!

3 DAYS!

It's a lot of first timers in the book bazaar. But we have some very experienced members too (shoutout to @pubgob.bsky.social, @wctracy.bsky.social & @belindacrawford.bsky.social ) who have helped our newer members get up to speed!

Wondered if you could do a crowdfund? Ask! #tbbcountdown
3 days until the book Bazaar! If you've never done a crowdfund, what do you think you'd need to start one? If it's advice, ask the question!

Did a Space Wizard book inventory today, and also checked on the bees. They're doing well, and ready to go into winter with lots of honey stores!
I also got started on a developmental edit for a book coming out next year!

Doyle, a white and tan cat, lounges on top of the fridge belly up, head hanging over the side in front of pictures of old pets in costumes for our annual holiday card.

A little more work on the new Space Wizard campaign today, but also ordered a ton of Lesbians in Space: The Sapphics Strike Back books!
And then spruced up the Space Wizard store a bit.
