A Tail To Remember First Book Launch!
I'm happy to announce that on the 16th of August, at the St. Martin's Fairfax Centre in the Charles Sturt University of Wagga Wagga, at 6pm Wednesday night, there was the successful launch of my very first book: A Tail To Remember. It was available on the night for $30 and I sold five books out of ten available. I intend to have a second book Launch in Hillston, at the local Library, at some point in the near future, where I will be revealing the new proper cover of the book.
There is a video on my youtube channel of the book launch night if you want to check it out:

I'm happy to announce the arrival of my second ever published book! The Rochester Runes, which is the second book in 'The Freiyon Fables' is set to be released on the 30th of May this year, and I will be having the launch once again hosted at St.Martins in Wagga Wagga, at 6 p.m. I hope to see you all there, as I am going to also be selling copies of my first book for any who haven't read the first book yet. Adventure is out there! Please visit my Facebook page [ Just. Parodiez.man] for more information if you need it.

Well, my friends, the day has finally come! I've been working furiously on writing a good end for my Freiyon Fables Trilogy for the past few months, and even went over my original time I was hoping to get it done since there were some moments of procrastination and no motivation. But! I have done it! I have officially finished the Freiyon Fables Trilogy! Gosh... the words 'The End' at the very end of a book never looked so... inviting!
Of course, I still have to go back through it and edit the story, with possibly some help (any takers for that?) however, I am more than proud to say yes... yes indeed I have officially completed the series! It finished exactly the way I wanted it to, with maybe one or two characters I included or killed off I wouldn't have truly expected before. But I'm truly happy to say those words.
"I have finished writing my trilogy.'
look forward to seeing the book properly released sometime in August of this year guys. I know I am!

HUGE Update: You may have noticed not alot has happened on this website, until recently. I've been fairly busy with work, university, writing and now at a new home I'm renting with a friend.
So, here's a few updates for everyone:
The Freiyon Fables has gotten a rewrite, and is now no longer a three part series, but rather a three section series made up of smaller instalments. What that means is there are now smaller instalments for each section. So, Micklang's story gets 6 instalments/books, The Rochester's get 7 instalments/books, and the finale will (hopefully) get 8 instalments/books.
The first of Micklang's rewrite is now officially released through an actual publishing company, so that's huge news! And I'm hoping to keep publishing through this company for the future books of Freiyon until a good time when I've gotten relatively known in the author world.
Lastly, with the rewrite of Freiyon Fables comes an introduction to something VERY big and mysterious. It's going to be a sort of mystery that starts with two specific characters from Freiyon Fables and ends up somehow spanning over into future books that I'm writing. Consider it a shared universe type thing. One that you guys can follow along and try to theorize about as it happens. So, for now, I will leave you all with this starting clue.
Follow the scarf.
If you want to know how this clue fits into my idea, or are interested in this shared universe thing, read the first instalment now :D Have a great day!

First update of 2023!
This year promises to bring alot of changes for me! All of them very good changes.
Firstly, I've been getting a few book talks sorted out: one at Wagga City Library and one through Griffith Rotary Club. So that's very exciting. hopefully I can get some pictures or footage of those events.
Secondly, my book has been nominated for FOUR different literary awards! All of which are to be announced sometime in March! I promise to update anyone on the results of that. It's very exciting!
Thirdly, the shared universe story I mentioned in the last update is now in full swing! Once I get a jacket I ordered from America near the end of last year, I can start the progress of getting fully into this very deep very mysterious lore I've got waiting for you guys. Have you found the first clues? I've put two things up so far. The first was some theme music, which you can find here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCdpH7ejPTY
If you figure out the code that's hidden in the music, you've officially started the mystery/adventure!
The second video, which is a comedy sketch I did with no script at all XD, is all about me 'accepting to be a space pilot' for a 'program' related to Game theory. However, in the video something pops up that shouldn't be there! Can you figure out what it is, and how it relates to the mystery? Good luck! You can watch that video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUhZCP_Q00k
Lastly, I've started trying to save up money to afford getting the second book: Freiyon Fables series 1: Welcome to Freiyon, published. It might take a little longer then I anticipated but that's ok, because if all goes according to plan, I will be able to not only get this second book out this year, but with enough savings, I could potentially get the third book published later this year as well!
So, all in all, this year promises to be full of good busy book related stuff! And I can't wait to share those moments with you all! Have a great day!
