Hey all,
It's a Saturday, but not a lazy one. Shaking the dust off of long-disused video production skills and putting them to use working feverishly on a video pitch for FEYSIDE. Hopefully it turns out well. (If not, my employer is desperately burning the midnight oil cranking out SHANNARA CHRONICLES f/x shots, suppose I can always donate this stuff or something.) Trying to strike a balance between generating a visually interesting shot or two to differentiate FEYSIDE from other offerings and to hint to prospective readers at the worlds living in my head... and producing a quick 'n' dirty video that can actually be ready in a matter of days, rather than the weeks or months that actual pro quality work necessitates.
Meanwhile, I'm stretching a little on social media, trying to reach out more and present myself, my story and my novel to the broadest possible audience. Time (and that all-important follower count) will tell whether that's been a worthwhile effort. 
I've tried to do some actual writing/editing work as well, lest those skills atrophy, and because despite the demands of this crowdfunding campaign thing the foremost goal is still hopefully a good book in the end, and chapters in the meanwhile for you good folk to consider and critique. Should have another one of those ready for your consideration shortly!
Lastly, haven't neglected the demands of everyday life - parenting, work, house n home, holiday prep, etc. While outside the scope of this update, activities like this are the mainstay of my day and the bedrock that enables everything else. Hopefully the joy and the satisfaction that I take in all of that comes through in the creative materials that I do send through to y'all.

Think that's about it for the present. Be well, keep the faith, and look for good things soon!
