My contribution to Princess Tiana Appreciation Week, better late than never, right? Anyways, thank you Princess Tiana for teaching me and millions of people that even if your dreams change to always stay true to you and go for them. Keep climbing mountains and crossing rivers til you get there
Philsophical question of the day: if Gaara’s stress and Shinki’s stress compound on each other enough would that just cause a massive sandstorm that swallows the entire wind country?
I always release the PDF version of Book II: The Saga of Thranduil on Father’s Day–after all, it is dedicated to my father. There will be a Table of Contents in this version (second draft). This year, there is more to be thankful for.
Book II: The Saga of Thranduil was invited (as it were) to be submitted to professional readers in order to be seen by publishers and literary agents. This is a first for me; nothing I said to them scared them so they are well aware of all things that will come for any publisher or agent that chooses to represent The Kingdom of the Woodland Realm Trilogy–including the fact that I recently began working on the “second” book of the trilogy. All they said to me was, “We look forward to your submission.”
Book II: The Saga of Thranduil might get to see actor Lee Pace (with the first news, this “secret” news probably won’t remain quiet forever). Fans of the book and Lee Pace have been wanting him to read it and an opening to do that became available. (I won’t say when, where or how just yet–stay tuned; that one’s complicated and more so with the first news).
It is the Summer of 2018–Mirkwood Rising, I call it. It seems to be coming true in more ways than one.
So there it is: the Father’s Day gift I never expected to be able to give to my father (that received an autographed copy of my book for him for his birthday). He wondered out loud when people in the literary world were going to see this book. This year I can say with 100% certainty they will. It is a dream come true for my first book and trilogy. No matter what happens, Book III: The Last Tale of Legolas Lasgalen will always be dedicated to my readers all over the world–whether they are reading the PDFs or maybe one day, holding the book in their hands. Because of you, I got the chance.

Once he made it into town, he’d locate his mark - usually the wife or daughter of the daimyo, but really whoever you want to insert here, go crazy, heck let’s make his mark you, pretend you’re some sort of important person with state secrets okay - and ‘accidentally’ bump into you, but really cool and attractive-like.
fwoosh…”Oh! I’m so sorry!” He grabs you to keep you from falling over.
“Are you alright?”

Sparks fly. He offers to buy you dinner and a drink to make up for it, and…well look at that face, do you even have a choice at this point.
