Hello everyone! I have exciting news I want to share with you! 

I have recently begun podcasting! My podcast is titled, Waking Up Bipolar with Chris Cole, and I’ll be covering all things bipolar, spirituality, and generally trying to be a better human being. The Waking Up Bipolar podcast is currently available on the following platforms:

If you have a preferred way of listening to podcasts and cannot find Waking Up Bipolar, please let me know, and I’ll figure out how to make sure you do. Podcast episodes will also be appear on my website at colecoaching.com/wakingupbipolar

Thank you for your continued support, and hopefully this can be another way for us to stay in touch.

Wow - what a week.

Not Afraid of the Fall has been out for *almost* a week now and the support from you - my friends and family - has been incredible.

Happy Midsummer everyone!

It’s the middle of July and warm weather has finally come to Maine.  Birds are chirping, the black flies are (mostly) dead, and most fun of all is seeing the pictures showing up in my Facebook feed of people showing off their copies of It’s All Fun and Games.  It’s hard to believe it’s already been a year since it was released, but time has the tendency to keep moving forward, doesn’t it?

I keep running into people who want to know when the sequel will be coming out, so I wanted to give you an update on how More Fun and Games is progressing.  My summer teaching has been taking a bit more time than I’d hoped, which means editing has slowed down a bit.  I’m still chipping away at it, however - I’m maybe a third of the way through so far.  I’ve added Chapters 1 and 2 to the preview read on the project page, so you can read about the start of this new adventure.

Now my part is only half of the work.  YOUR part is the other half.  Inkshares only publishes books that a) cover much of the up-front cost; and b) show an established interest.  The 2400 or so copies of It’s All Fun and Games that have already been sold shows the interest.  Now we just need to cover those editing and design costs.  Please, if you’ve got the interest and means to do so, head on over and preorder your copy now.  

I also have one additional (less costly) favor to ask of you.  DragonCon, one of the largest fan conventions in the country, gives out the Dragon Awards annually.  I would deeply appreciate it if you could swing on by the nomination page and nominate It’s All Fun and Games in the "Best Young Adult/Middle Grade Novel" category.  Sure, it’s a long shot, but so was publishing in the first place, so why not give it a try?

As always, you can find me on twitter @llabak and on Facebook 

Thank you all for your continued support, and enjoy the rest of the summer!

Best
Dave
