As some know, I have my one and only craft show fast approaching (December 6th) and I've been working away getting everything ready. Not only will I be selling my books, but my photography as well. I have the latter all set now with a booth layout in my noggin, and now I can say I'm done with my book half as well. I wanted to have some other things aside from my books for sale so I've made shopping bags with both bookish and outdoorsy stuff on them. I've also done the same with glass cups. You know, the ones with the bamboo lids and glass straws? I made designs for them Saturday night and didn't like any of them so I started over and it took my all day yesterday to get them put together. BTW, camo vinyl is a pain in the ass to weed. Glitter vinyl is a close second.
Now I just need to let them sit for a couple of days before I spray them with a clear coat to seal the vinyl on them and then I'm all ready for the event!
That was frustrating, but the real frustration has come in the form of figuring out Eliza's story. I was almost done with a rough draft and didn't feel the soul, so what did I do? Labeled that doc as Spare parts and starting over. This happens from time to time, so I hope I can get it figured out.
Everyone who celebrates Thanksgiving this week, I hope you have a wonderful one!
Happy Reading,

This weekend was packed with projects. I decided at the end of last craft season, I was weedling down to only one this year. BUT I'm compounding it by not only selling my books, but my photography as well. While I was doing "sprayed" edges on my copies of Gunmetal Psychos to sell, my husband was building me a folding display for me to hang my pictures on. I can't wait to set up because I have an idea in my head as long as my area gives me the opportunity.
This week has me nearing the end of the rough draft of Right in Front of You Vol. 6, but I'm also working on making tote bags to sell as well as glass cups.
I hope you have a great week!
Happy Reading,
​x Brooke

Last night at Sheridan Stationery Books and Gifts there was a sprayed edges class. I took my son's girlfriend with me and both of us got to pick out books but I brought a copy of Gunmetal Psychos to do. I really want to get pure black pages for this book but so far, formatting with Amazon hasn't been working out for me. I would have preferred skulls or maybe even a unicorn for my artwork, but the sword will do.
This week, I'm going to be reaching the halfway point with another Morris Valley book. I'm also working away on getting things set for my one and only craft show for the year next month.
That's all I have for the week.
Happy Reading!

I read in October? It really didn't feel like it. I've been busy elk hunting that reading was pushed to the back burner, but seeing as how that's one of my favorite burners, looks like I still read quite a bit.

For the past month, I have been everywhere and revisiting many locations in the hopes of finding an elk.
Am I discourage? Not in the least, I'm having a blast and have been loving being out in the woods. Yes, getting an elk would be wonderful, but I'm working my ass off anyway with still plenty of time to fill my tag.
When I'm not out hunting, I've been working on edits for In His Corner that comes out next month and a rough draft for one of my Morris Valley books.
I will be back at the end of the week with  what I've read.

Not really feeling it myself today at least, but Timber certainly was. I'm not sure how I managed to get a picture of her while in movement. I thought for certain it would come out blurry, but the conditions were perfect.
My girl was wild and free while up on the mountain a few weeks ago.
This past weekend was plagued with a flat tire, every single file I had going missing thanks to an update where OneDrive took over my computer again - thanks for that Microsoft took me hours to get everything back to rights - and hiking more than six miles with only elk sign but no elk.
I finished up the final Powder River Pack book (really the second to last) and now diving into another Morris Valley book. 
I feel the need to make this declaration. Every image you find anywhere on my website are either purchased through DepositPhotos stock imaging website or have been taken by me. I know better than to use just some random image off of an image search or STEAL from anyone. I have known that fact well before I even published my first book. I follow every trademark or copyright that comes with the images I PURCHASE off of DepositPhotos. I will not tolerate scammers trying to harsh me anymore. I keep a lot behind the scenes but this is just ridiculous.
Aside from that, I hope you have a wonderful week.

I'm entering the final stretch with the second to last Powder River Pack book. I should only have five or six chapters left to right this week which will mix with going hunting.
This past weekend, I took my youngest with me and captured the picture to the left. It's proof that God has left signs behind everywhere, you just need to look for them.
While I might have not got my elk yet, I'm having fun going out and spending time with family and getting to be in the woods.
I don't have much else to share with you. Have a wonderful week!
x Brooke

I might have only come close to getting an elk this weekend, but there's nothing to complain about. We helped a young lady who beat me to the cow I was focused on and her grandpa pack it out and got to admire God's glorious masterpiece of nature.
I'm tired, but not sore, and ready to head back out! I had a wonderful weekend with my husband. Just the two of us working together to call in a bull with the hopes he was bringing a few cows with him.
But for now, I'm turning focus back to working on my book and hopefully getting close to finishing it this week.
Have a wonderful week!

This is going to be a short list this month. I didn't read nearly as much as I normally do. Between antelope hunting, processing said antelope, preparing to elk hunt, and working away on a book, I just didn't have the time.
