Comicpalooza and Two Free Giveaways

2011 Comicpalooza 3

Lots of stuff going on (when is there not? They are called “weekdays”), so I thought I would take a break from the madness that is the night before Comicpalooza setup (for us artists / authors / dealers) to catch my breath and catch all of you up on the goings on. So, as you have no doubt gathered, we have Comicpalooza going on… more on that later. Also, we not only have one, but two, free giveaways! More on that later as well. We have also released an updated Kindle version of Morrigan’s Brood: Morrigan’s Brood Book I, which coincides with the re-release of the print book through Triscelle Publishing’s new printer and distributor, Lightning Source. Anyway, to the news:

We know you are out there, and we would like to help you. OK… a show of hands of anyone who saw Dark Alliance: Morrigan’s Brood Book III and thought, “Gosh darn it, that sounds like a cool book, and it is so cheap, but books I and II are so expensive… maybe I should wait before plunging in… oh, and I hate eBooks…” Does this sound like you? (or at least some of it… OK, even if none if it applies to you, please continue reading… please.) Don’t worry, for we can help.

Welcome Newcomers from Comicpalooza!!!!!

Comicpalooza 2011; Houston, Texas

Comicpalooza 2011; Houston, Texas

Wow! First, thanks to all of our friends, fans, and new friends and fans who either stopped by our booth or attended one of our panels!!!!! We hope you had as much fun as we did (and of course learned something of value for your writing or publishing situation). I (Chris) have not been on my home computer much this weekend, so I have not had the opportunity, until now, to update our blog. For some reason, I can’t seem to figure out how to do it on my Blackberry; perhaps I need an iPhone, or maybe a gene re-sequencer to make me a slim, 15-year-old kid again, then I could figure out how to do it. *** Oh… there is also information about a contest below***

Where Have We Been? Where are we going?

Cover art for Dark Alliance; Morrigan's Brood book III

Cover art for Dark Alliance; Morrigan's Brood book IIIThe answer to that is running around like two chickens with our heads cut off in a state of pandalierium. Rather, it is a state that is reminiscent of a lady in a muumuu with pink curlers in her hair. Yeah, you know her…. the one who shows up in a muumuu or her robe and slippies at the liberry demanding summer reading program prizes for her massive brood of 18 children; the number of children varies depending on how good the prizes are that year. The very one our characters will refuse to attack because … well, they have their limits. ;)

Yeah, I know you’re wondering where this came from and where is that crazy Heather going with this.

Usually lack of sleep means an upcoming festival, con, or celebration. Well, at the moment we’re sandwiched between two.

Anyways, last weekend we were at Scarborough Faire at Tyler and Lisa Spence’s wedding. It was a beautiful ceremony and a lovely day if you’re into humidity. However, we did love seeing our friends become husband and wife, and we bumped into other friends, our editor, Sally Aalderink, who is one of the villagers at Scarborough Faire (her son Ian is also a villager, though we only caught his back from a distance), and Kyle and Marita Beth Caruthers, who run East Wind Games and Pendragon Costumes at the Faire. Merriment and camaraderie was had by all!

This weekend is Comicpalooza. We’ll be in Artists Alley (booth AA5) near people who are better known than us. We are excited and beyond thrilled to be in a few panels as well.

Hope to see you at the Con (it will be on… and yes, a lack of sleep brought on that horrible joke).


If you’d like to leave a review… :)

Thank you so much :D


Latest Bidness

Well it looks like the book is starting to show up on amazon (yeah I know they’re the devil, but it’s important to have items available there) and some other vendors.  That means that it will be available in brick and mortar stores for ordering very soon.

We’re still working on manuscript #6 believe it or not…  Yup we work that far in advance.  :)

However, there are difficulties with that sometimes because of a small black kitten named Clyde who always demands that the world revolves around him.  He is a cute little monster though.  Lucius and Ophelia are pretty sure he’s a nuisance, but there you go.  They do still groom the little pain, so they like him despite all that.

Hope everyone is doing well and please keep buying our books.  It means so much to us.  Also if you want an autographed copy.  We’ll be happy to sell and mail one to you.

And Another Update from the Copyeditor :D

Wow… what a chapter! I just finished proofreading chapter 31 of Morrigan’s Brood, and this was one of the most uplifting chapters of the book! The battle lines have been drawn, and the armies are gathering. Who will win? Turn the page… Chapter 32 starts on page 650 of 692 = 40 pages left!!! I will finish today, barring acts of fae mischief.


Yet another update from the copyeditor

I am on page 522 of 694, which meanAhhh… my proofread of chapter 25 of Morrigan’s Brood is now complete. I will start on chapter 26 of 35 tommorrow.

Latest update from the copyeditor. ;)

Wow… what a chapter that was… I would love to tell everyone what chapter 21 of Morrigan’s Brood was all about, but then I would be spoiling the experience. I will tell you that someone died a very nasty death, but then lots of people die horribly in this book =). I am now starting with chapter 22 from page 450 of 694 = 244 remaining! Can I do two more chapters tonight? *groan* I’ll try…


Here we be…

Well here we are,  Triscelle Publishing…blogging.

Already wordpress has eaten my post.  Which sucks something royal.  Oh well, here it goes again.

This blog will discuss Triscelle Publishing, but it will primarily focus on our upcoming series, Morrigan’s Brood.

We’ll talk with the authors, and the blood-drinker characters who are a mouthy, demanding  lot, as well as discuss the publishing process every once in awhile.

We’re also located at Triscelle Publising.  It’s a beautiful site that our friend, Khanada made for us.  Please fan us on facebook and friend us on myspace.

Hopefully soon this blog will resemble the website as it’s so cool.  :)

Hope everyone has a pleasant week!

-Heather
