I got in last minute at the Downtown Winter Market this Friday and Saturday. Don’t miss it! There might be a special guest;)
It’s sure been a minute. Perhaps while I struggle to finish Book 3 of the Bloodstone Dagger, I should continue on with my In Defense of Tropes blog series. Next up: the ancient and ubiquitous Damsel in Distress. But is there anything defendable about this one? Turns out yes… if you value a little thing called all life on earth.
In this third instalment of my In Defense of Tropes blog series, I explore the most overdone trope in all of existence. The Chosen One. But, is it truly overdone or just badly done?
Completing my latest title, Queen of the Skour, Book 2 of the Bloodstone Dagger was such a struggle to finish. Heck, even this blog post is a struggle. Where do I even start with this thing?
Part 2 of my tropes series explores the allure of the bad boy in women’s fiction and how in order to keep him around, it’s important to separate fantasy from reality.
My blogspace is primarily used to document my personal experiences as an author and not for opinion pieces. However, I figure, since expo season has dried up due to COVID-19, I’ve taken to writing a blog series about literary tropes and why authors shouldn’t shy away from them.
The third annual Dino Con has come and gone. Like the last two years, this con was a blast. These smaller shows allow for more interactions, better chances of rubbing shoulders with minor celebs, and more visibility.
The last weekend of September, I was invited to do a book signing at Coles in Red Deer and put a few of my books on consignment.
After the smashing success in Saskatoon, I came to Edmonton Comic Expo with even higher expectations. I know, I know, one shouldn’t go into anything with high expectations, but I couldn’t help it. Edmonton Expo has so far outperformed Saskatoon’s, so why would it be any different this year?
Because of the dismal sales levels at Saskatchewan Expo last year, I didn’t get my hopes up for this year.
However, I’m happy to report that this show set a new record for me in more ways than one.
The first comic convention of the season was Drumheller’s Dino & Comic Expo, and already I can say it was the most fun yet.
Come see me at the Edmonton Expo this weekend! Will the the last one for a while.
