Welcome to the May 2014 edition of The Dawnflier!
I’m a little late with this installment due to some unforeseen computer and health issues lately. In fact I’ve written this post via my old faithful Windows-XP-based desktop computer. But thanks to the wonders of Dropbox, I am able to share with you one of my more recent updates, a new cover for Dawnflight! Currently it’s available on the ebook edition via all the major retail catalogs -- please check out the buy links in the right-hand sidebar -- and the wraparound cover for the print edition is under development. I hope to have it available for sale at my next appearance, which will be as a Featured Artisan on Thursday June 26th at the annual Chautauqua Festival in Wytheville, VA. I hope to see you there!
I
’m pleased to announce that A.J. (already notified) has won my April 2014 drawing for a copy of
Dawnflight. Everyone who either adds me on Google+ or comments on any of my blog posts receives one chance to win for each separate action, and I select the winner using the website
random.org. Don
’t delay; enter today!
