Quick update on what I’m working on: an audiobook. Handyman Volume 3 has 7 chapters, but I’ve been spending much more time on someone else’s book. A friend of mine just self published her fantasy novel: Misty Lake. I made the cover, formatted the ebook and paperback, and created the fantasy map inside the book. I think it all turned out well. Now, I’m working on the audiobook for the novel. Seeing that it’s twice as long as my handyman books, it’s going to take me a long time to create.

All winter I’ve been in a writing slump, working on my own writing here and there, but not a lot. I had a good session a few nights ago, but haven’t had time since. The next book will definitely take me longer than the last ones. Although, to be fair on myself, when I published volume 1, a good portion of vol. 2 was already written. To not be fair on myself, in between that, I wrote and recorded the prequel audiobook that my email subscribers get for free…

Anyway, I’m still working on book stuff, but it’s not necessarily what fans might expect (unless you like high fantasy, with a heroes journey, magic, mind-speaking animals, bardic tales, and an intriguing backstory propelling the characters forward). Check out Misty Lake to see the work I did on it, and experience Carrie’s skillful storytelling. She’s a bit of a bard, and I’ve learned a thing or two from her on how to describe my scenes better. She has a very approachable, poetic style that is often very quaint when the characters aren’t being attacked by bandits and crazed mages. I find reading stories like hers to be refreshing.
