Prickle Forrest Chronicles

June 2024
Howdy Pricklers,
Grab your favorite saddle and sit a spell, because we’ve got some rip-roaring news to share. It’s been a busy month around these parts, and I’m ready to spill the beans on the latest news!

Wrangling Plots at the Writers Conference
Early this month, I moseyed back from the WriteHive 2024 writers conference where I dished out some knowledge on plot editing. Let me tell ya, the pen sure feels mightier after a good old brainstorming session with fellow scribblers.

New Short Story on the Horizon
Hold onto your hats, romance readers! A fresh tale from the Whiskey Salvation series gallops into the scene on July 9th. It’s a story that’ll sweep you off your feet faster than a wild stallion on a moonlit night.
Once you get your hands on this book of shorts, you’ll travel down the trail of an anthology of romances by the Great Lakes Fiction Writers. Look for “Tacking of Hearts: A Whiskey Salvation Short Story” which will be found with 11 other wonderful short romances in
“Love on the Lakefront: Romance on the Great Lakes”
by the Great Lakes Fiction Writers. Don’t hesitate to add Love on the Lakefront: Romance on the Great Lakes to your roundup.

Nearing the Finish Line
My short story book, Tales From The Prickle Forrest, is almost ready for the big rodeo. Just one more story to rope in, and it’ll be set for the roundup. Stay tuned, folks—this one’s gonna be a suspenseful page-turner.

Lending a Hand to Young Buckaroos
Spent some time helping a teen writing group spin their own fantasy yarns with Romantasy author Cyndi Brec. These young buckaroos sure know how to dream big, and it’s a thrill riding alongside them on their creative journeys. Loved it so much going back in October to help them pen some horror and suspense short stories.

Looking Ahead
Got my sights set on a few big things:
GLFW Writers Conference on August10th: Can’t wait to saddle up for another round of learning and sharing.
Short Story Anthology: This collection will be packed tighter than a rodeo clown’s car.
Cookbook: Yeehaw! Gonna dish out some of my favorite recipes real soon.
Coming Soon: In LARGE PRINT look for the Whiskey Salvation series and the GLFW anthology Love on the Lakefront. Woohoo!
Book Festival: Canal Town Book Fest hosting 50 Indie Authors on October 5th.

A Little Favor
If you’ve enjoyed my tales, I’d sure appreciate it if you’d mosey on over to Amazon and Goodreads to leave a review for my two books, rescuing Whiskey’s Salvation and Cherishing Whiskey’s Salvation. Your words mean the world to this humble storyteller.

A fun cowboy history fact
In June 1882, cowboy and lawman Wyatt Earp began his famous friendship with Doc Holliday in Dodge City, Kansas. Their bond would later become legendary in the Wild West, symbolizing the camaraderie and adventure of cowboy life. And we here at the Prickle Forrest Chronicles highly suggest you watch “Tombstone” with Val Kilmer and Kurt Russell. Lots of action and the cowboys will make you swoon!

That’s all for now, folks. Keep your boots dusty, your hearts light, and your pens ready for the next adventure.
