Travel-log Part 2: Waterford & CastleMartyr

Welcome to the second installment of my Ireland trip travel-log!

If I’m being perfectly honest, our first two days in Dublin were a little disappointing and Derek and I had a couple of moments of wondering, “Did we just waste a lot of money on this trip?”

And now we had to get ourselves to the car rental place and learn how to drive on the left side of the road. And by “we” I of course mean “Derek.”

It was all getting a little overwhelming.

Travel-log Part 1: Dublin

Good morning, friends. It’s been over a month since we got back from our Ireland trip, and it’s been a whirlwind of a summer since we got home. But I made a promise, Mr. Frodo, and I aim to keep it.

I promised to tell you all about our Ireland trip, and here I am to make good on that promise!

It was such a great trip and we had so much fun and we made so many epic memories and I probably can’t fit it all into one blog post, so get ready for a series of posts.

In the heading picture of this post you can trace our travels through Ireland. We started in Dublin, drove down through Waterford into Cork, then on to Killarney, up to the Cliffs of Moher, through the Burren National Park, back to Limerick, and then back to Dublin by out-of-the-way of Kilkenny.

An Exciting Week

Whew! It’s been quite the week here in the Stormcave!

I generally don’t have two releases in the same week (okay, who got hold of the schedule?!) but I’ve been letting my inner chaos gremlin out a bit more lately (what is the point of being an indie author if you can’t have some fun with it?!) and so it’s actually not a bit surprising that these two releases would come so close together!

Be a Hero!

I have an exciting announcement!

I’m going to be published!

Yes, yes, I know that you know all about the Turrim Archive stuff.

But I’ve had a kind of secret project going on in the background this spring, and I am so excited to finally be able to shout about it!

You may remember that I’ve talked quite a bit about H.L. Burke’s books around here. Several of her stories have made it into my Favorite Fifteen Fantasy Reads for the past couple of years. And I am a major fan of her Superhero universe — called The SVR. It’s an awesome series of superhero books with all kinds of epic adventures and fun. If you enjoyed the older Marvel movies, like Iron Man 1 and Thor and the first Avengers movie… then you’ll probably love this world and series.
