Beware the overworking of July: Books, Hiking, and a Wedding

July is going to be a busy month, so you’ll have to forgive me. I’m trying to put the final feather in the cap of the Uncommon Universe short story collection, but it may have to take a backseat for a bit—because I’m getting married this month! I’m not crying… I’m just happy.

If you’ve been through this process, you know it’s a lot. There’s definitely a part of me still thinking about eloping (shhh), but when all is said and done, it’s just a day—hopefully a great one.

If you’ve read the dedication in Gambling on Common Sense, you already know that the soon-to-be Mr. Briar is a lovely man and an excellent cook. (Ryan, if you’re reading this—fine. I concede. You’re the better cook. Don’t let it go to your head. 😛). I’m not afraid of what the future holds, but I do feel like I’m taking that deep breath before diving into the ocean. And all signs point to it being a beautiful swim.

What does this mean for you, wonderful readers?
It means I may not be around as much these next few months. So! I’ll be sharing a few extra BookFunnel promos up front to keep all you free book addicts satisfied in the meantime. See above or dip deeper into this newsletter for the latest in literary news!

Budding author, Laughing Briar, is a science fiction and fantasy writer, traveler, and lover of the written word just like any other flower pen out there. Feeding on the madness of a woman’s mind, they’ve planted roots in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Nourished by an engineering education from The Ohio State University, a blended family upbringing, and an insatiable wanderlust, Briar draws deeply from these wells to inspire their stories. In their free time, Briar enjoys tumbling down mountain trails, seeding songs in karaoke, and rooting for their D&D party to survive the darkest of dungeons. Today, they are the author of exactly forty-two short stories and are planning to release their debut novel, ‘Gambling on Common Sense,’ by 2024. For those new to them, time is a cycle, and it’s great to see you again.
