What a wild month it’s been, adventurers! There are just two (maybe three!) events left this year, and now that the ghostwriting project is officially complete, I am plugging away at preparing for them. Most of these are for debut at ORF October 15, but I will have some things at the author fair October 1 as well. So what’s new?
This weekend, I am woodburning necklaces and painting necklaces, keychains, and coaster sets. The past few weeks, I have been working on a Dungeons & Dragons campaign packet. It follows many of the events in Ranger’s Odyssey with two separate game sessions—plus a bonus session following Toren through Paeor’s Game. The trilogy of one-shots will debut at Ohio Renaissance Festival. I’ll have a table by my booth where players can run through Paeor’s Game, and packets will be available for purchase. After ORF, the packets will also be available in the new Tales of Ambergrove Online Store!
At this time, my family group’s main Dungeon Master is reviewing the packet from a DM standpoint to make sure that everything makes sense, nothing is missing, and all stats are correct. I’ll be reviewing and finalizing it shortly, and I’ll print the packets and put them in 3-prong folders and into my new tub.
I spent this morning organizing my restock of books and my other event supplies into two new collapsible tubs as I prepare for regular events. I bought a collapsible wagon (that the tubs will fit perfectly into), First Edition stickers for the remaining copies I have of Ranger’s Odyssey, so I may keep them straight from the current editions, a new Square chip/contactless pay reader, and a few other things for events. It’s a very exciting time!
Once I finish my painting and woodburning tomorrow, I’ll just be down to finalizing the packet and printing everything off. Then, finally, I’ll be able to get back to Ember in the Forge. I hope to make great progress with the draft once other responsibilities have evened out. I still would like to give myself at least six months to attempt submission to Tor before moving forward with my current publisher for this series (I’ve always dreamed of being published by Tor), so hopefully the next couple months bring good tidings where Ember’s story is concerned. Fingers crossed. I’m chugging along.
Until next time, adventurers!
