December doodling from The Dawnflier of @KimHeadlee #ASMSG #MFRWOrg

Christmas (c)2010 by Subbotina, Depositphotos ID 10605705.

I had a handful of download credits at Depositphotos.com that were burning a hole in my virtual pocket, so I splurged and selected several images that I plan to share with you here on The Maze during the coming months. I just love the sense of wonder and magic in this image, don't you? I'll bet she's smiling because her gift box contains the book she's been waiting for!

Speaking of books, I am excited to share two new releases with you today:

• The Business of Writing: Practical Insights for Independent, Hybrid, and Traditionally Published Authors released in e-book format November 14, and its print edition is now available for sale too.
• Raging Sea: Enemies and Allies, book 3 part 2 of The Dragon's Dove Chronicles, is now available for Kindle, Kobo, iBooks, and other e-tailers! I will be cutting back on social media involvement in the coming weeks in order to make a concerted effort to finish Angusel's story. The final installment will be subtitled Crucible of Combat. Subscribers to The Dawnflier newsletter received notice of its exclusive Amazon giveaway -- sign up today so you don't miss out on the next one!

In other news:

• Liberty has received a cover makeover. Scroll down on this post a bit to see this gorgeous new design.
• In preparation for 2017 BookBub promos, I have reactivated my books on Google Play. To date, these titles include Dawnflight, The Color of Vengeance, Morning's Journey, The Challenge, Liberty, King Arthur's Sister in Washington's Court, and Snow in July. I plan to upload my other books, starting with parts 1 and 2 of Raging Sea, as I am able.

My next personal appearance will be as an author-guest at the 2017 MarsCon science fiction/fantasy convention, January 13-15. I am slated to give my Business of Writing workshop and a new presentation, "Dragons and Griffins and Bears, Oh My!" which is an introduction to the ancient carved stones of Scotland.

May your days be merry and bright!
