The Fast and the Flabbergasted

I don’t even know what is happening. My brain is a swirly whirl of so many thing, too many things. Where even am I?  

Oh right, late on the entry.  

Hello, feral readers. I hope everyone is excited to sink their teeth into my book! Things are moving, wheels are turning, progress is being made. The deadline remains at the end of August. I’ve also been informed that I can add to my first print run, so I’m hoping to be able to set up some sort of pre-order or sign-up for signed first print run copies on my website once I get the pricing. It will be a tight window so hopefully I can get as many of you wonderful humans who want a signed physical copy in on it. More on this as the information unfolds! (Mostly when the price is locked in.) Hopefully, by the next time you’re reading a post I have all this sorted out.  

In other news I FINALLY managed to get through the first edits on Waning of the Moon, but only the first chapter. It’s progress. Slow, steady, and brutally painful, but progress none the less. I expect it will take me an age before I am confident enough to send this to the betas and an additional age before it goes to the publisher. I am hoping the I generate enough of a fan base to get a Kickstarter sorted out for book two pre-orders so that I do not have to beg everyone that feels an emotional attachment to me for the means to publish... again.  

Other than that I’m going to try my hand at being DM (dungeon master) in D&D (Dungeon& Dragons) coming up in a few weeks. It will be a one-time game but I’m already freaking out about it. It will be fine... totally fine... maybe. Or I’ll just lose a husband and some dear friends because they hated everything I did. I guess we’ll have to roll the dice on this one to find out. (This might be a mistake as my dice rolls have never been reliable. Where is the Lucky feat when you need it!) 
​

So, there’s a little update for you. I hope the season is not burning you up into a crisp. I wish you big hats and parasols.

    Author

    M.E. Kalous studied English, humanities, and publishing at Simon Fraser University. She has a deep love of Greek and Norse mythology and all things related to the Inferno. She is a voracious reader of fiction, fantasy, fairy tales, and sci-fi. 

    ​She lives in Vancouver, B.C., with her impossibly tall other half and their two beloved hell spawn (others may refer to them as cats). Her appetite for fantasy extends beyond the passive into the realm of Dungeons & Dragons, as an enthusiastic, but clumsy player. Dawning of the Sun is her debut novel.
