Blurb:

Colette Demeter is ready for a change. She wants to work off-world and has found the perfect opportunity on a planet called, Aratus. Getting to Aratus isn’t going to be easy, but if there’s a will, there’s a way.

The vessel, Erosa isn’t what Colette had expected. Feeling out of place, she didn’t fit in with the crew at first, but through trials and tribulations, they all became friends. Additionally, there is a crew member that caught her attention, and she is determined to figure him out.

Aratus is where Colette’s courage and loyalty is tested. She realizes she’s not perfect, but can she come through and defeat the creatures disturbing Aratus and still manage to work at her dream job?

Free Ebook On Writing Act One

If you’re a new writer or just need a refresher, this ebook, “How To Write A Dynamic Act One,” by Ley Taylor Johnson might come in handy. I received this ebook free and thought I’d share it with anyone who’s struggling with getting their story started.

There’s a lot of excellent content in this ebook. They are content that are similar to what I follow so instead of writing my own, I think this is an excellent resource.

Just fyi, I don’t know the author of this book nor am I part of their promotional group or anything. If you’re a serious writer or want to become one, you can benefit from this.

Here’s the link to the ebook: How To Write A Dynamic Act One. You will have to provide your email to receive the ebook.

Writer’s Unite! Anthology Cover Reveal and Release Date

/ The Writing Sparrow / Leave a comment

If you remember, I was in the Writer’s Unite anthology awhile back but under a different publisher. I’m not sure what became of that publisher but the Writer’s Unite! team is at it again with a new publisher and two volumes of fantasy short stories. I’m in the first one with the same story (that was published with the previous publisher). There have been minor revisions/editing to my story but it’s still the same theme and magic and all the wonderful things you’ll find in a fantasy story.

The ebook will be released on December 15, 2021, but you can preorder on December 1, 2021.

Here’s the new cover:

AEVA Is Live!

I had a little hiccup which led to some of the apps delivering the ebook on April 2nd. I really enjoyed writing this story and I hope you’ll enjoy reading it. The other day, when the snow began falling gently where I live (before the snowstorm), it reminded me of the scene in the story when the first snow fell on the rain planet. It only snows every 25 years so it’s always a special event. I’m glad we have winters here. When the earth is covered in a blanket of white, it’s really breathtaking.

Tracking NaNoWriMo

/ The Writing Sparrow / Leave a comment

During NaNoWriMo I will typically follow a word count calendar. It helps me stay on track. Word count is approximately 2K per day for 30 days. Normally, I would search the web or Pinterest for someone else’s calendar. This year, I decided to put one together. I used the NaNo calendar and added the word count per day to it.

This is what it looks like:

If you’d like to use it, you can download a larger size here: NaNoWriMo 2019 Word Count Calendar Tracker.

If you’d like to use the original calendar, you can download it off the NaNo site here: NaNo Prep 101 Course. It’s a PDF file and will be on page 50.

I’ve been slacking off prep so I need to really kick it up. Instead, I’m brainstorming ideas for a couple of short stories and novelettes I hope to publish before the end of the year and early 2020. One of them being Shaman 2.

By the way, if you haven’t read Shaman, it’s available on Amazon Kindle and Kindle Unlimited. It’s perfect for a good Halloween scare.
