Leslie D. Soule

Hey everyone, this is Leslie D. Soule, and I am back in the game. In fact, my third novel in the Fallenwood Chronicles, Betrayer, will be releasing around July 11th or so. I’m currently working on the final novel in the series – Retribution. I’ve recently added a publisher in the form of The Preservation Foundation, who has published a couple of my nonfiction biographical pieces. And I’m currently taking Citizen Journalism courses, to push my writing into new territory. 2017 is shaping up to be an exciting year! Hope you’re all doing well.

2016 has been a hard year for a lot of people, and me included. But I did manage to finish Hybrid Space, and the latest round of edits on book 3 of my Fallenwood series, Betrayer, despite all the hold-ups that I had to endure/overcome/wait out. Here’s to hoping you all out there have a great holiday season and let us all hope for an excellent 2017, huh?!

So I think I’ve found a form that I like, after having spent several hours messing with the computer and with form applications and what have you. FormSite seems like it’s going to work, so I’ve set up an email newsletter signup, where I’ll be updating fans about my work, appearances, etc. I’m hoping this works, as I haven’t worked with FormSite before. We shall see!

I’ve finally started editing Hybrid Space again. We’re getting closer, and the story is getting tighter. It’s coming together well. These past couple of years, I’ve been through hell and I’ve gotten stuck in life, and it’s been really hard to gain any kind of momentum. I’ve doubted my ability to get things done and make things happen. But I, personally (not just my character Ash) have seen a mighty Empire crumble to its knees, and I’ve helped kick off some projects with Kickstarter, since Brenda Novak’s auction has taken a break this year, and I’ve kept my ship going. So there’s that. There’s always that.

My friend came over this weekend, to help me edit a bit of Hybrid Space. As you know, editing isn’t my forte’. Writing, I’ve got. But anyway, I’d stopped writing for a while to focus on author promo, and it didn’t seem to be really getting me anywhere OR making me happy. So I’m going to go back to focusing on the writing portion of things. After all, I’ve got to finish the Fallenwood series. Someone’s got to finish off Malegaunt, before he destroys everything! It’s taken me a long time to build myself up, and I haven’t always known what to do, but here I come. Heroes always face the toughest of odds, and I aim to be the hero my generation has been waiting for. 😉
