An Update

Hey, everyone! Just Linda checking in with an update. My short story collection King Quinlin was supposed to be out March 3rd. It got delayed because it had a subheading of another project of mine that I was working on by mistake. Thankfully, my publisher was really cool about it, and got it fixed straight away. My collection will now be coming out March 6th so keep your eyes out for it! I will be crossposting on all of my social media about it.

For those of you who may not know King Quinlin is a short story collection set after the events that occur in my novella The Queen's Son. I am excited for you all to see these characters expanded upon and see some more worldbuilding with these lovelies! Until next time, friends.

Just A Little Bit of Everything

If you haven't already read my novella The Queen's Son, you can get a little preview of it if you grab a copy of the March 2024 edition of The Alien Buddha Zine: here.

This is the book that comes directly before my short story collection King Quinlin which is due out March 3rd. I'm super excited to get my first short story collection out into the world. I have another one that I am searching for a home for, and I am hoping it finds one soon. We'll see!

Still hoping to find some book bloggers for my upcoming poetry collection fairy tale love. I'm not sure if blogging about poetry books is common or not, but I remember with one of my former publishers she had created a book tour for one of my novels. I would think it would be the same concept, but I don't know. I will keep trying to find anyone who might be interested in blogging about this.

Have a good day, friends! Always remember that you are worthy no matter what anyone tells you, and life is too short to follow anything less than your dreams. Until next time!

Excited & Still Looking For Book Bloggers

I'm so excited to have three poems out in this anthology, but I am especially excited "oceans of time" finally found a home. I was hoping this Dracula adjacent and Dracula inspired piece would find a home.

I'm really hoping I can find some book bloggers that will take on my upcoming poetry collection fairy tale love. A few people have retweeted my request on Twitter, but I have absolutely no one tell me that they're interested so I am a little worried. Hopefully, I can find the right people somehow.

Looking For Book Bloggers

Hello, I'm looking for book bloggers for my upcoming poetry collection fairy tale love. It is a sapphic romance poetry collection that is both sappy and whimsical.

So if you are or know any book bloggers that might be interested in hosting me on their blogs, please do let them/me know. I would appreciate any help in advance! Please, and thank you!

Covers For The Queen's Son & King Quinlin

I just love that both covers have a full moon. I also love the detailing of the raven pendant on the short story collection cover. I can't wait to further share the story of the werewolf Quinlin, his wife Zuri, and some of their old friends and family.

Claire L. Smith did the covers for both. I love her artwork so much! She was so easy to work with, too, both times.

It's Been A While

I haven't kept a blog for many years so it's probably going to take me a minute to get back into the swing of things. I'm going to use this blog for when I have writing announcements. Probably not every individual poem I get out into the world, but mainly for books and such.

Here's a list of my current projects that you can buy: If you’d like to support an indie author/artist feel free to pick up one of my books!

My short story collection King Quinlin is coming out March 3rd! I'm really excited about that. Claire L. Smith who did the cover art for the first book of that series The Queen's Son also did the cover for this one as a matching set. I'm not sure if we'll learn more about Quinlin's adventures or not.

I'm working on a lot of projects at once, so we'll see if I get back to Quinlin someday. Maybe I will. Maybe I won't. Only time will tell!
