Helllloooo, my fiendish folks and friendly freaks! Lots of activities coming up in Writerghoulie’s corner of the world and I thought I’d update you.

After a super-quiet 3 days alone at a cottage in the Kawartha Lakes region of Ontario, and then 6 more days of busier cottage time at a different spot with family and friends, I have made significant progress with the fifth book of the Marnie Baranuik Files. Yay! Unwritersblocked!  (SO a thing.) I am currently on track and aiming for a November finish, hopefully so that Pixiegrind Ink can publish this book before/during the winter holidays.

In the near future, Pixiegrind Ink will be compiling a couple of Marnie Baranuik Collections: the biggest, a set of all the currently available novels and short stories in one convenient package (ebook only), and the smaller, a collection of the short stories (aaaaaaand for the first time, they’ll be available in paperback as well as ebook format! Woohoo!).

I will also be featuring a series of interviews here on the blog with a wide variety of writers who once published with me at Booktrope, a sort of catching up with the ‘Tropers if you will.  They span all genres, both fiction and non, and we’ll find out where their publishing paths have taken them since the closure of Booktrope. Stay tuned for that!

Also, Sneak Peek Sunday will continue tomorrow. I will be giving readers a glimpse of what’s new with Marnie & the crew in the fifth book of the series. I hope you enjoy!
