Not so long this time, adventurers! I’m at about five weeks since my surprise wrist surgery, and I’m back to using both hands semiregularly. According to the surgeon, I should basically be back at 100% next week. Which is great because …
Next weekend is fantasy weekend at ORF!
I am so excited and honored to be able to set up the Tales of Ambergrove booth not only at ORF but at ORF on fantasy weekend! (Otherwise known as the best possible weekend.) I absolutely adore ORF, and I am more than a little excited to be back this year for fantasy weekend. ORF expanded this year, and they now have a new area amounting to five whole acres at the back end of the grounds. This new area is called Whimsy Woods and is itself fantasy themed! The Tales of Ambergrove booth will be somewhere out in Whimsy Woods, so if you’re heading to the festival this year, head on back to check out the new area and go on an adventure until you find us—at least on September 9-10 and October 28-29. The Cincinnati Barbarians will be somewhere nearby, and they are always great for a watch! Head to Eventbrite via the Events page and grab an Adventurer’s Token for the festival day to get yourself a free pin at the Tales of Ambergrove booth.
Also, check out the expanded map and prepare yourself for an adventure in Whimsy Woods!
So, this weekend is hopefully a last push for Ember in the Forge, and next weekend is ORF fantasy weekend. After that, there’s family D&D and a little break, and then October 7 is my third annual MCPL Author Fair! They should be absolutely packed with authors this year because they had an application process this time. It is always a fantastic time. Highly recommend!
Then, at the end of October, we’re rounding out the events for this year with ORF tricks & treats weekend. Hopefully, if all goes to plan, Ember in the Forge will debut at the festival this weekend. We will, at the very least, have the cover artist at the booth and a woman dressed as Ember walking around the festival grounds. See if you can spot her!
As an author, my hope for this year is to finish strong with the author fair and ORF, publish Ember in the Forge, and begin work on Ember on the Anvil. Besides working on EotA, I don’t really have anything big coming up until April. Unfortunately, I won’t be returning to Scotland for another book tour next April (not that I expected to return for many years), but I will hopefully be attending a new festival in central/northern Ohio. More to come on that later.
Not much news for the past month or so, but the coming month or so includes three awesome events and (hopefully) a new book. Fingers crossed!
Until next time, adventurers!
