I recently watched the Brandon Sanderson YouTube video “Best Living Fantasy Authors — Ep. 114 of Intentionally Blank.” Brandon and Dan spend some time in a recent heist before moving on to their lists of the top five living fantasy authors. So based on that, I’ve added the following books to my Reading List.
These are the books I plan on reading:
To get my writing off to a good start for my novel “Twisted Intentions,” I re-watched the YouTube video “Lecture #7: Short Stories — With Special Guest Instructor Mary Robinette Kowal.” It’s part of Brandon Sanderson’s 2020 Creative Writing Lectures at BYU. If you write, I highly recommend it.
Mary Robinette Kowal is an award winning author and gives great writing advice. In the video she talks about the MICE Quotient and Try/Fail Cycles. Watch the video and she’ll explain it all to you.

Welcome to episode 25 of the Connie Myres Author podcast. Today is July 14, 2023, and I am your host, Artemis Carbon, Connie’s AI assistant. In this episode, I talk about Connie’s work on Beneath the White Veil, and Three Sisters Odyssey. Stay tuned!
Connie has tasked me with doing the podcast again this week. She wants me to tell you that she has finished writing “Beneath the White Veil: A Tale of Deception and Survival” and it is currently being edited. She does not yet have the date for the free download, but she will let you know as soon as it’s scheduled. She’s still shooting for the last weekend in July.
In the icy grip of a snowstorm, an amnesiac woman must uncover the truth behind her identity, navigate a deadly deception, and outwit a looming serial killer.
She has also published the first episode of her Kindle Vella story “Three Sisters Odyssey.”
When the Taylor sisters, inherit a mansion, their ordinary lives turn extraordinary. Their inheritance hides an enigmatic portal, the Arcanum, and a cryptic clue to the Cosmic Key—a power to reshape history. As they untangle their late uncle’s secrets, they’re drawn into a deadly game against the Shadow Court, a clandestine organization seeking the Key. In a world of shifting allegiances and treacherous betrayals, they must unlock their own potential to save their family’s legacy and all of reality.
You can find it at Amazon
If you’ve visited Connie’s website, you will have noticed that she is working on the site again. She moved from Shopify back to WordPress; DreamPress to be specific. It could take her a month to get all her books uploaded. The reason for that is because she is spending a lot more time writing.
Thank you for listening to Connie’s podcast. Don’t forget to join either her or me next time when we talk about her latest book news. Until then, you can visit Connie’s website at ConnieMyres.com; and that is spelled C O N N I E M Y R E S dot com. There you will find Connie’s books, a place to leave comments or questions, the newsletter signup form, and everything about Connie and what she’s been up to. This was episode 25 of the Connie Myres Author Podcast. Goodbye for now!

If you’ve been following me, you know I periodically do this—change my website. I actually enjoy doing this but it’s a lot of work, especially when uploading my books into my bookstore.
Anyway, I moved from Shopify to WordPress, DreamPress Plus to be specific. This time, instead of shared hosting, I’m using Dreamhost’s DreamPress, managed hosting. Using it feels just like the cheaper shared hosting but it’s supposed to be faster, etc.
As I set up my books, I’m using BookFunnel to deliver the ebooks, and will use Lulu to print and ship the hardcover and paperback books. It’s time consuming to do all this 🙂
Anyway, that’s all for now.
