Today has been a surreal day. I launched Flights of Marigold, and 34 people came, including friends from as far away as Ireland, Seattle, and Washington DC! Also released the new video: “Taste of Images: The Rebel Camp.”
Then in the evening, Bursts of Fire won the Aurora Award for Best YA Novel, and Sora’s song won for Best Poem/Song!
Wow. Just, WOW.
So, yeah. Sometimes you take a few days off, right? This week I went on a 3-day backpacking trip with family, and it was awesome! BUT, I did manage to get a bit of video of me hiking, which will be in the can for a future video (Susan writes action-adventure because she loves adventure). I already have a bit of me on a motorcycle and was going to capture some downhill skiing before the ski hills all closed this spring. Oh, well. This could be a project for next winter.
Did spend a bit of time this week working on editing the new video. I have a media artist, Holly Totten working on it with me, and she’s so talented! I am truly lucky to have her!
Spent the weekend filming the next action-adventure video to accompany the launch of Flights of Marigold. This one has 4 actors and shows a bit from the opening of the book. Now: to edit on time for the launch!
Getting ready for the book launch in August–got another book video uploaded onto Youtube. Won’t make it public until Monday, though, to try to get a few more eyeballs on it.
