FanX
Dear Readers, I wanted to let those of you who plan to see me in Utah this fall know that the FanX portion of the tour for The Lantern’s Ember is up in the air.

If you’d like to read more, you can follow any of the authors who drafted the letter on their social media sites. I am still listed as an attendee, but I am carefully watching how events unfold.

Two handled the tickets, one sold books, my sister, Linda, was the emcee, while my other sister ran the PowerPoint for the game. We started out with a word search.

Let’s Talk the Tiger’s Dream Cover
I know you’ve been waiting…and waiting…and waiting…and Tiger’s Dream is finally just around the corner. So, on this blog post, I’m going to try to answer a few non-spoilery types of questions and talk about the brilliant cover too! First of all…Why The Wait? This is a fairly easy answer.

They are, however, still in the business of printing the other tiger books and continue to hold the rights to the series in the …
