Plainfield Central School in Connecticut

It seems like forever since last I spoke at a school. Today my wife and I went to Plainfield Central School. Literally five minutes down the road from where we are currently living. I don't know how many students I spoke to. I estimate in the vicinity of five hundred. They brought through the sixth through eighth grades.
Next week I am returning to this school to do a creative writing class. I've instructed the students who desire to participate to bring a 250-word fiction piece with them. I will be critiquing their writing and offering advice for improvment. This I greatly look forward to!
Tomorrow I will be working on my third novel. The word-count has passed 46,000 and I am extremely pleased with how "The Key of Living Fire" is turning out! I am expecting to hear from AMG Publishers this week, in particular regarding the particular release dates of my novels.
. . . more coming on that later!

That is so cool! I love when authors do that. And, I can assure you, the kids that really are into it will LOVE it! Can't wait to hear how it goes!

You're probably there as I type this LOL

Congrats on nearing the 50K mark!

Praying for you!

I agree with Nathan, anyone who wants to do the class is going to have a ton of fun.

Also wanted to let you know that this morning I officially decided to admit Swords of the Six into the grand "Seth Reid Christian Fantasy Hall of Fame"! It's a really big honor lol jk. But really it's one of my favorite books now.
