I've just queued up the first chapter of Team Manager CHAMP! to post on June 16, three days after the last chapter of COACH! posts. The final installment of the four-book saga will finish posting October 2, 2022. Wow! What a trip!
I'm still integrating the final edits and formatting the book, but I expect everything to be ready before the first chapter posts, including the eBook on Bookapy.
I started posting the first chapters for my Patreon Advance Release ($5/month) members today.
My Patreon "Sausage Grinder" patrons ($10/month) are already 24 chapters into the next big thing, my novel Full Frame, which I plan to start posting on SOL sometime late in September or early October. By that time, I expect to be well into writing its sequel, Shutter Speed. Sausage Grinder patrons see what I've written almost as soon as I write it, without benefit of editing and proofreading. They get it raw, and it often changes significantly before it reaches a public audience.
I'm currently camped near Pendleton, Oregon where we've had thunderstorms today. Tomorrow, I'll move to Yakima for some minor warranty work on my trailer, then I expect to be in Lynnwood, WA on Wednesday for the remainder of the month.
I think I'll start a leisurely trip east around June 27 or 29. I plan (as much as I ever plan anything) to visit friends in Minneapolis before dropping down into Iowa to visit some of the locations I based the Team Manager series on. I'll see if I even came close to describing them realistically.
Then I'll cut up to Dubuque and travel across northern Illinois and visit some of the locations I've based my new novel, Full Frame, on. Finally, I'll visit my oldest sister in Columbus, OH, possibly visiting some of my old stomping grounds in Indiana on the way.
It's a little uncertain from there, but I expect September will find me back in Las Vegas for the winter.
Of course, it's all predicated on whether I think I have enough money to pay for gas on this trip. Never thought I'd say "It's not so bad here in Oregon at just $5.35 a gallon." But I filled up in California at a discount place for $6.60 a gallon! That was the cheap gas in that town.
If you live along my route east and would like to meet for coffee along the way, let me know. I always like meeting up with readers and turning fans into friends.
