#Boskone was amazing and we sold 11 special editions and promoted the Book 1 audiobook, to be released in April by PaigeVox.com.
Took me about 10 minutes to figure out which Salem they were referring to. We were just in the Massachusetts one last night and I'd hate to think this could happen there. I hope she recovers soon.
Compiling a list of #booktrailer producers - any recs? Mine is @nickhill.me of nomagnolia.tv.

Anne Spielberg with Charlotte Pierce at Minuteman National Park, Old North Bridge
Illustrator Daniel Fiore discusses an idea with author Anne Spielberg
After a terrific meeting with illustrator Dan Fiore, we dragged our author Anne Spielberg @anne49bsky.bsky.social through slush and mud to soak in some American history at Old North Bridge today. She was such a good sport!
Anne's children's book, The Iceberg & The Penguin, is due out in 2027.
Because of his missions and the holidays, we are going to reschedule @veretskiy.bsky.social's Sentinel's Circle discussion group for January. Oleg's critical effort for protective gear continues, so please pray for his safety, RT and send a few €$¥ via PayPal to veretskaya2009@gmail.com if you can.
Pierce Press will be there with @veretskiy.bsky.social's books, plus posters and fine art prints inspired by his trilogy; buttons, bookmarks, and other fun swag!

MEET THE CAST of Tales of the Wandering Mists, Book 2!
We have been able to get a sneak peek at the second book of this trilogy, “The Man with Four Shadows.” This will be another full cast of amazing characters we haven’t met yet, but we do know who at least a few of them are going to be…
Great news - let's all amplify and support!
MEET THE CAST of “Tales of the Wandering Mists!”

UPDATE FROM THE AUTHOR
Oleg put his career writing, teaching, and performing for children on hold to defend his country. But his heart has not forgotten its center: stories can change lives.
We believe that with all our hearts. That’s why we work in telling stories.
Always inspiring to go to the live events! It was wonderful to introduce @veretskiy.bsky.social's book to the crowds at #arlingtonma Town Day!
When you hear those magic words, "SHORT-LISTED!" your heart skips a beat and you madly share the news with the book team!

Yeah there's a unique vibe that comes from historical experiences and legends, I think.
Writing is amazing, but publishing is a different story. If you’re going to put yourself through publishing, make sure you write the stuff you love. Always.
FYI @piercepress.com has launched a book by Ukrainian author and soldier @veretskiy.bsky.social - it might be a good interview for you? They're having a book discussion today.
See you there!
