You know what they say about “the best laid plans of mice and (wo)men…” I wanted to announce “Dead of Winter: Journey 3, The Fever Field” and schedule the post for my usual Wednesday slot at midnight Eastern Time. Unfortunately, my life has been ruled by Murphy’s Law this week, and Amazon publishing, and slow Internet were Murphy’s allies.
Happily, the multi-talented author, Roberta Eaton Cheadle has helped me out by adding the cover reveal and the Kindle purchase link for Journey 3 to her amazing review of Journey 2!

Journey 2, Penllyn is the second episode in the Dead of Winter serial. You can read my review of review of Journey 1 Forlorn Peak here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R1A6T1JDOEV3H3. Now, on to my review of Journey 2, Penllyn! What Amazon says Journey 2, Penllyn picks up where the first installment, Dead of Winter: Journey 1, Forlorn Peak […]
#Bookreview – Dead of Winter: Journey 2, Penllyn by Teagan Ríordáin Geneviene and cover reveal —
That’s the link to Robbie’s post and review on the line above. I hope you’ll click over and visit her amazing blog.
“Murphy” is still staring me down, ready to wreak havoc with my Wednesday. So, I’m not doing much of an announcement. However, I will say that Journey 3, the Fever Field is the most exciting installment so far! Here are purchase links, including the paperback (which was not yet available when Robbie so kindly looked up the link herself to add it to her post). Kobo is yet to come, but I can’t fight that battle with Murphy right now. Please do visit Robbie. Hugs on the wing!

Christine, I know you are up to the editing challenge. That was one of the several reasons why I chose to publish Dead of Winter in serial form. The prospect of editing about 850 pages was so daunting! This way I’m working in manageable chunks.
I’m so thankful you are part of these journeys, my friend. Hugs on the wing!

Teagan, you are so smart to write the serial form—editing less at a time. This is my 3rd ms go through. I’m working with a screenwriter on editing. She edits my chapters and I edit her screenplay. You would be surprised how well this works out. She’s a master at getting rid of unneeded words. I seem to be able to put myself in her screenplay and tell her how to construct scenes, and dialogue. I actually learned how to write good dialogue from working with her on other screenplays. It’s so much fun working with another person as passionate about writing. Happy to be part of your journeys. Hugs,my friend. Christine📚❤️

How cool, Christine! Thanks for sharing that. It sounds like a terrific collaboration. Last fall and winter I watched a YouTube series called Screen Courage, with various industry writers, and professors being interviewed. I really enjoyed the ones on dialogue. I watched at least one a day. Some of the speakers I didn’t click with, but there were a few that I really loved.
Changing Dead of Winter into a serial presentation does take quite a bit of rewriting. It’s not a simple matter of dividing it into sections — not to make a good serial. However, I’m really enjoying it.
Stay happy and sassy!
