Ah, the joys of spring and summer and all the outdoor activities it breaks, both good and bad. Lots of time out in the pool for those who have one, or the garden for those who enjoy it. Then there are the more annoying aspects of it, like yardwork. Which activity is your least-favorite?
For me, it’s keeping the hedges trimmed and flower beds weeded. I never know what I’m doing with them, other than just keeping them cut down to size.
Second place is raking up leaves in the fall, but I haven’t done that in years. Let the wind take care of that!
New releases approaching!
All right, enough with the chores. Now it’s on to the fun stuff. We’ve got a couple of new releases approaching that you need to keep an eye out for. The first up is The Song of Sangr, a brand new fantasy collection by Gustavo Bondoni! That releases next Friday, June 10th.
The Song of Sangr
Exiled from his village for a crime he didn’t commit, Sangr of the North must make his way in a world of magic, demons and treachery. Armed with nothing but his wits and a strong sword arm, he embarks on a career as a thief and adventurer.
His existence changes forever upon meeting Yella, a woman even tougher and more devious than he. Together, they face cults, wizards, and the stuff of nightmares.
Their carefree adventuring becomes a grim struggle to survive as their reputation grows, as well as the number of powerful and magical enemies arrayed against them.
High Hopes: A JTF-13 Legacy Novel
The release after that is the newest JTF-13 book, a high-flying fantasy adventure set in the skies of World War I. Look for John M. Olsen’s High Hopes on Friday, June 17th!
With the Great War raging across Europe, Sergeant Jones and his crack team of Special Unit Thirteen Marines are called upon to investigate the strange disappearance of allied aircraft north of France in the mountains of Belgium.
Pilot, Lance Corporal Jackson and his gunner/bombardier, Sous-Lieutenant Marcel Moreau, find themselves deep behind enemy lines, fighting for their lives against an evil and ancient airborne threat in support of Special Unit Thirteen’s efforts on the ground.
Can they survive long enough to eliminate the threat, and secure the battlefield from the Keiser’s massing forces?
LibertyCon Inbound!
And speaking of June 17th, that’s the first day of LibertyCon! It’s hard to believe we’re so close to that convention already, and it can’t get here soon enough. Sadly, I will not be able to make it this year, but I know a good number of the Three Ravens crew will be in attendance. Fun is sure to be had by all, and my family’s looking forward to next year already. Have fun, those who will be there!
