Its a nice, crisp November, and here in Illinois that is usually heralded by the appearance of Juncos, chubby little white and black birds that migrate into our area for the bulk of winter. A Christmas nut myself (being a Christmas baby helps), that's sign enough to begin getting the tree ready and having the ornaments one step closer to being placed (my wife was insisting I should wait at least until after Thanksgiving, so I met her halfway with a naked Christmas tree waiting patiently to be decorated).

By the by, all winners have been notified from the book giveaway for Forging of a Knight: Rise of the Slavekeepers, save one that I couldnt reach out to, so Tyler S., you have a copy coming your way!

I wanted to add a link to Jasper de Joodes' blog site over at the Book Plank for his recent (and the first) review of Forging of a Knight: Rise of the Slavekeepers. Thank you, Jasper, for the very thorough and detailed review:

So its time for some trail walking at Starved Rock, the Morton Arboretum, and some local preserves to see the leaves changing color, the seasons turning over, and as I say in the bio of my books, "...walking winding trails through darksome forests, searching out the mystical beings that reside therein." If anything inspires my writing, its feeling that aura of magic when you are smack dab in the middle of nature:

Here is a link to an author interview I did on the Forging of a Knight series over at The BookPlank. Thanks to Jasper de Joode for the opportunity!
