Hello to you, whoever you may be! Obviously I don't know who you are, this is a one-way computer screen just so you know, but I'm certain I'm glad you're here and I hope you find what you need here.
On this page I will list the details on what's been happening in my writing world. Come back time to time for more information.
Blog is Up! - October 3rd 2009

Interviews! - July 22nd 2009
Hullo!I've been working quite a bit on promoting my book and so far much has come from it. I've been in the Kentucky Enquirer once (and the second is on its way), been interviewed twice by the Kenton Recorder, and made my first blog "appearance" lol.
To read the interview please head over to www.yodelingdwarf.blogspot.com Comment away!
I've been rather busy, with book stuff, summer reading projects, free books, advance copies of books, and that's taken a toll on my writing. Whenever possible I've been taking writing challenges from author Wayne Thomas Batson, on his Facebook page. They've kept me at a steady pace...but I've been slaking lately lol
All in all it's been a great week and I hope to tell you soon how the sales go!
Cheerio!

Make as Many Accounts as Possible! - July 13th 2009
Hey there!
So I've been trying to build my publicity right? I'm a teenage author of one book, and that book happens to be a short story book, so many people are just going to over look me. I know I would. My editor had advised me to start making, as the title says, as many accounts on as many sites as possible. GoodReads, AuthorsDen, Shelfari, etc. That would build publicity.
But as I started doing so I realized how difficult being an author can be! If people did start finding all of my accounts I don't know how I'd keep up with it. Not that I don't want them to add me as friends on the sites, it's just that each site is different--adding to my confusion.
But anyway, if you're on any of the following sites feel free to add me: Facebook, GoodReads, and AuthorsDen. The links are on the "Contact Me" page.
My current project, a fantasy novel called The Sword of Fire is coming along nicely. If you're on facebook I've been posting excerpts left and right.
Ta-ta for now!

Update - July 10th 2009
Hey! Well the first month of WOOTD's publication has come to a close. I'd really like to give you the numbers of how many were printed, how many sold, and to be honest how much I made but that will have to wait.
If you find the time please be praying for Mr. Woodall of Jeremiah Press. He's been my editor on this project and my connection to the publishing company. He was rushed to the hospital a little bit ago and that is why I have no new information from JP.
Now, on my end.
I've been writing away at my current project, a four book fantasy series. Right now the first book is well over 70,000 words. I hope to see this one published next Spring. We'll see.
I've had my picture taken for the newspapers, my old school worked on a press release for the book. I'll keep you posted on how all of that goes.
So...that's all for now!
