New Chapters Dropped, As well As Four More Baby Goats!
May 02, 2024 4:17 pm
Hey there!
Yet another couple weeks have flown by! Hopefully the've been equally as productive and fulfilling for you as they have been for me.
We waited anxiously for the other two pregnant goats to have their babies and it finally happened. And what did we get? More babies that all look exactly the same! No, they do have some differences, but overall it's going to be a bit trickier this year to know who's who. Given the newness of the babies it's challenging to get good pictures of them as they adjust to massive humans following them around, but I managed to get a couple.
Naturally, the human kids were thrilled to name the goats, and I have to say, there's some pretty interesting ones they come up with. Our three year old insisted on naming one of the first babies 'Squeakies'. So we have him--and his brother Jon (the six year old chose that one.) Then we have Heart and Sparkles (complements of the five year old daughter). My wife named the fifth one Arrow because of her coloring and the six year old jumped in with naming the last one Chump. Don't ask me why, we just love it.
My Progress This Week
I've reached just over 53,000 words on book three of The Hidden Heritage Series, Dwarfblooded. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the story itself. Imagine a teenage girl, raised in the foster system in the U.S. getting kidnapped by a bunch of goblins and orcs and yanked through a portal where she finds out she's actually half dwarf (explaining her short stocky stature and unibrow). I've had such a blast spinning that tale.
I'm thrilled to say that the next chapters of both Dragonblooded and The Etcher's Plight just dropped on my Ream community! Dragonblooded is the first installment to The Hidden Heritage and follows the story of David, teenage star football player, dealing with one simple fact that throws a wrench in reality--his mother is a dragon from another realm. Conversely, The Etcher's Plight is an epic fantasy story about a man waking up from an ensorcelled stupor in a prison having lost every bit of his memory. It's a world where Etching, written script, contains powerful and irreversible magic.
If you'd like to dive into the stories with early access then my Ream Community is for you! There's also some other great perks for joining, so check it out!
