Goals for February and beyond
My book featured in the lineup at Indie Author Connect by IAX Audio.

I'm waiting to hear back from the audiobook distribution platform Inaudio if my recorded audiobook for A Lion's Head is quality-approved. I've also uploaded it to the soon-to-be-launched IndieAuthorConnect by IAX Audio.

  1. Book signing on 21st February at my local Indigo Bookstore.
  2. Recording the audiobook for A Lion's Pride.
  3. My illustrator Chris Ho, @algebutter, has completed his part of the middle-grade short story we're working on. Elise, @emsapublishing, has done her part with editing. It's my turn to finish revising and polishing the manuscript into its final format. We're aiming for a summer release for a short story featuring a demon of disease stalking a ten year old's family.
  4. Finish drafting A Monkey's Mask.
Illustration by Chris Ho, @algebutter. Ok, this image didn't make the final cut—too scary. But it was floated as an idea! Sri Lankan Yaksha meet Lysol!

An Aside

Few know I'm pursuing a Bachelor of Education full-time. This term I'll be teaching kindergarten (last term was Grade 2s). This is my secret for getting things done: when time is limited, every second counts.
