Summer Download


Hello All! As the Summer draws to a close things at the magazine are kicking off! The next two weeks are going to be a whirlwind of activity: finalizing pages, contacting authors, laying out pages, and finalizing advertising. I can tell you honestly that the magazine is shaping up to be absolutely beautiful! The cover you guys chose was one of my favorites and looks stunning along with the past cover lineup. I was also able to sign up for a more prominent stock photo company (thank you to the Realmie who shared a coupon!) and the images are now much more tailored to the uniqueness of our community. I will tell you that due to the workload and the fact that my kiddos are going to school for the first time next week, I will not have a newsletter/blog next Thursday. The next time you will hear from me is September 1st when I will be announcing the Autumn Edition Cover Reveal and hopefully be releasing the Paperback Edition. I have SO MUCH to finish before then (including around 8 reviews that I had to put on the back burner due to an uptick in advertising emails).



But don't fret! I will be taking a break from the crazy this Saturday, August 20th from 6pm-8pm EST. If you failed to notice the graphic at the top (or are on goodreads), I am having a Summer Download Discord Meet Up! Pop over to Discord and chat AOL Chatroom style with me and some Clean Fiction Authors about your Summer Achievements. Come hang out and brag a little about how much you accomplished or how much chill time you were able to achieve. We will be playing a game or two and I will be giving away a couple "Stay Calm and Read Clean Fiction" stickers as well as a copy or two of my newest short story release in booklet form. Come and celebrate my newest release and the upcoming release of the Autumn Edition in one fun evening. For a direct link click below!

It's a Beautiful Day

Image
If I am being honest, things in my personal life lately have been pretty stressful. People I love were having major surgery, friends of mine are hurting, my kiddos were sick, and in the last week, 3 women close to me have either had a baby, are actively having a baby, or are trying to save their pregnancy. I don't know how you deal with stress, but even though I am worlds better at it than I once was, I am not great at it. Others' pain and hardship weigh on me as if it were my own. Lately, I have been floundering under the weight, but in the midst of the hardest day, God sent me a smile in the shape of a young boy singing a song. And now I want to share the words with you because I am well aware that as long as we live in this world and not the next, we will have strife and hardship. This is your reminder that no matter what is going on in your life right now, you are not alone. Lord, I thank you for sunshine. Thank you for rain. Thank you for joy. Thank you for pain. It's

Realm Makers Conference

Image
I missed you guys last week! The conference took all of my focus and energy. I went. I saw. I talked and talked and talked and talked...you get the idea. Being an extrovert wading in a sea of introverts, I must admit to being rather intimidated. Not that I don't know how to talk to introverted individuals (my husband is a super introvert after all), but it usually takes some time for people to warm up to my rather boisterous personality. I tried to curb my enthusiasm so as not to frighten people away and waste what little time I had with each person. I focused on making every interaction count by both being myself (not some sort of marketing robot) and offering what I could to help/support their business. If you missed it, being an author is a small business and if you know me you know that I LOVE supporting small businesses. And there I was, SURROUNDED by small businesses that I could help. (insert glee here) Overall, it was a good experience. I didn't get the benefit of going

A Little Bit of Background

I hope that everyone is having a great week and happy Wednesday to you all! I am pleased to say that the Book Cosplay Contest is in full swing, but of course we could always use more entrants (You have until July 31, 2021)! If you feel so inclined, feel free to pop over to CleanFictionMagazine.com for more information. With that out of the way, I am going to give you an update on the progress of compiling all the wonderful content that I know that you are going to love! I just finished writing up a review on an exciting almost 400 page Sci Fi book that I am SOOOO excited to share. I am also trying to connect with great clean fiction authors to bring you exclusive author interviews. If you enjoy the slight silliness that I include in my book reviews, you will be pleased to know that Clean Fiction Magazine is going to be more of that same light hearted content. Here is some background about me and why a publication like this is right up my alley. I currently work part time for my family&
