Fae Corps is about to release a new site *faecorpspublishing.com (It is in progress. I will announce the live when we finish it.)
There is definitely new things upcoming. Serena has a couple of anthologies, and I am hoping to as well.(awaiting the word from the editors on the ones I submitted to.) I plan on recording another reading this week, and Also doing a image based Monday Poetry. This week will possibly see a busy blog.
Hello Lovelies! Long time since we had tea. My current favorite is Lipton’s Peach Passion Green Tea.
2020 is nearly over, and I know that I am not the only one who is grateful. 2021 is already shaping up to be busy. Fae Corps has several authors lined up that we are going to be publishing. We have 2 anthologies planned (Fae Playgrounds and Fae Shivers). Serena is going to be in Circle City’s Absurd Apocalypse Anthology. And I submitted to two of Indie Blu(e)’s upcoming Anthologies. (I hope I get accepted, their books are always so pretty. )
Song of Shadow released this week. I am still working on Half Mad Meanderings and Heart Drops. I hope to release both in 2021. I am also planning on pulling each of my Poetry Volumes, one at a time, and Revamping and re-releasing them. I don’t know how long it will take to do each volume. I do know I will be releasing Large Print versions of each as well. I have learned so much this year that I can put into practice on my books. I hope it will give you, my readers a fun thing to look at.
This will be as far as I am concerned the final version of each book. Serena’s not going to do that with her books, and I am going to go through the poetry volumes first then deal with the children’s books after. I may try to talk Serena into large print at least.
I am also working on Grandmothers wisdom. Coffee house writers anthology will release next week. Like I said 2021 is shaping up to be a busy year.
The kid is asleep, So I thought I would take the time to do an update here. 2020, for all that it has sucked, has taught me a lot. I updated most of the covers on my poetry volumes this year, but I really have not looked at the interior of any of them since I published them…until recently.
Now don’t get me wrong…I did not publish anything badly, I just can clean it up and make it look a little nicer. So I have decided that is what 2021 will be. I have a full schedule with Fae Corps…We have multiple authors who have entrusted their books in our care. And there will be 3 anthologies for fae corps. I have one I am hoping to release (Wisdom: Grandmother’s Words). So instead of trying to release any new poetry volumes in 2021, I think that I am going to update and re-release my older volumes.
Changes in staff at Fae Corps is making this year coming exciting…and scary. Fae Corps is growing. We have up till now just had Cyndi and I doing whatever needed to be done. That left both of us stuck with marketing, something that neither of us are normally that good at. Now we have KT. Due to a difference in opinion we lost our consulting editor. We decided on official roles. Cyndi is our Developmental editor, I am the Copy editor. I do the Cover designs, KT does the marketing, and the scheduling. We also take projects for authors who do not choose to publish with us. Cyndi took an editing job that ended up choosing to publish with us after.
So with Fae Corps being so busy, I feel like I should plan my own writing projects to be lighter.. Not nonexistent, just lighter. Song of Shadow releases December 1st, 2020. I also am in the Coffee House Writer’s Anthology Volume 1 which is available for preorder. Serena is working hard to get stories ready for Fae Corps 2021 anthologies, and has one coming out in Circle City’s An Absurd Apocalypse. (It’s only a flash fiction, but I read it and it is cute and funny). 2020 was a busy year writing and publishing wise. I submitted to a project for Indie Blu(e) publishing which I hope to hear whether it is accepted after the first of the year. (Another small press with big talent that I want to support) So even though I am planning to do clean up on older volumes in the upcoming year…as you can see it will be a busy year.
Of Course I will still be working with Coffee House Writers, and I am still working on the two new volumes…I am just not rushing to put them out over the next year. Maybe I can do a re-release a month and see what else I can squeeze in from there.
This has been a crazy month so far. Fae Corps is releasing 4 anthologies on the 31st, and I have been busy getting them ready for release. Then I get a seasonal crud. So I have been sick for the last two days.
I am starting to feel better and I look into the blogs (as I am often the one that maintains the Fae Corps blog). I did a few planned posts and decided to read the blogs that I follow to find a few to spotlight. Y’all! I literally had an angry comment on one of the shared posts claiming that I posted it without permission. I have taken the post down, unfollowed the blog in question, and blocked them so I will not accidentally see them and reblog anything by them.
I was under the impression that reblogging gave the post more reach. Which seems like more people seeing what you wrote is better? I don’t know.
I am not going to dwell on this. Instead I will let you know that we have a newsletter now (see the Fae Corps blog). We are always looking for stories and poems to feature on both. I like to link directly to the persons site when I feature people.
I have a few more people in our author spotlight file to still post on the blog… I have not forgotten. Once the meet the author for the new anthologies are done I will be returning to focus on those.

Ok. I am doing this as a personal project. I am putting together my grandmother’s stories and poetry my boyfriend’s grandmother wrote. But I want it to reflect the wisdom of all grandmothers. So here is my request.
Do you have a story that you remember your grandmother (abuela) telling? Or a bit of poetry they wrote that you would love to see in print? Try submitting it for this anthology. I am busier than I have any reason to expect – so I am setting the deadline for December first with a expected publishing date of the first of January.
I am also accepting art. I only ask that it is from your grandmothers. And that you are able to give consent for me to publish it.
To submit email the creation and a small introduction (preferred with a picture) of your grandma who created it. The address for this is authorpoetpatriciaharris@gmail.com
The above image will be the cover. I realize that this is gender biased. I feel like I have more from the amazing women who I am decended from than I do the men. And since I have been wanting to honor my maternal grandmother… This was born. Maybe I will someday do a call for grandfather lore… But first I need to do this.
Also… Notice that this is not a Fae Corps Inc project. There is a couple of reasons. One – this is a very personal project. I have been wanting to do it for a little while. Two – Fae Corps Inc has projects planned for the next two years. I will be posting the next call for submissions for them in November. The deadline for it will be after the first of the year. I want to release this with the new year.
I normally juggle the balls in my life reasonably well. Author, blogger, editor, formatter, artist, friend, CHW poet, poet, game master, cover designer, mom, teacher, housewife, publisher….
These hats all are comfortable. I can deal with the multiple things happening at once. Not Today. this week has been one nightmare after another. Me making mistakes that I normally avoid.
Including missing posts on my blog. And then realizing that I am too stressed to know what to post all week. Fae corps has 4 volumes coming out at once(fae dreams, and 3 volumes of Nightmare Whispers) and one of the volumes is causing Technical difficulties.(Fae Dreams). Said difficulties are because I missed details, so I am being extra hard on myself. I am fighting those gremlins that come from it. However I am dropping balls because of it. I will try to get a couple of things back on track and figure out something to post. So please stay tuned…this may be an unusual week….but bear with me.
I may just post a couple of reviews to get me through the rest of the week….
Lyrics – Yo. Sam. Ha, we back bitches Good grip with that hood shit Full flame in front the bull pit Bad bitch don’t take shit Fucked last week been dead since In the muck ducked one time Kill em all with one line From the swamp, bump and grind Ain’t with the game no shuck and jive Ain’t no soft mouth when is gold Can’t hang low where the demons go Cats don’t talk, they plead the fifth One disappearance ain’t nobody see shit (Woo!) On a different plane Take it outside it’s so insane Sam right rip real simple and plain Sam B mother fucker ya’ll in hell (No room in Hell) When the elevators go down And the guest list is closed Ain’t no +1’s allowed And the devil locked his doors (No room in Hell) The nightmares come quick The air is getting thick When the dead start to rise And there’s no place to hide (No room in Hell) When the elevators go down And the guest list is closed Ain’t no +1’s allowed And the devil locked his doors (No room in Hell) The nightmares come quick The air is getting thick When the dead start to rise There’s no place to hide (No room in Hell) Eat a brain while getting brained Conductor on my zombie train All aboard, kill a broad Leave her bloody, choked and stained Won’t play games no slick talk Devil dick like a pitchfork No super suit, no Bat Cave Just shrunken heads and dead stock I’m Mossberg, I’m 2Pac B.I.G. with two Glocks Big L from Hell and back Collecting heads in my napsack Ghost Rider with no chains Spawned life with no cape Demon child like Hunger Games Chase a bitch, no escape (No room in Hell) When the elevators go down And the guest list is closed Ain’t no +1’s allowed And the devil locked his doors (No room in Hell) The nightmares come quick The air is getting thick When the dead start to rise And there’s no place to hide (No room in Hell) When the elevators go down And the guest list is closed Ain’t no +1’s allowed And the devil locked his doors (No room in Hell) The nightmares come quick The air is getting thick When the dead start to rise There’s no place to hide (No room in Hell) First of all I ain’t going to hell Let ’em know we’re going to need a lease I stay hungry I need a feast, I’m like, “Didn’t I tell you don’t feed the beast?” Went and got a little Holy water and then Put it onto my Jesus piece Got her wet like she’s seen the beach And I think your girl’s goin’ to need a priest Say I’m ill when I’m over seas Couldn’t see how that’s not true My jewelry looks like it caught Flu And my neck looking like Achoo Girl you got to be psychic If you think that I’m crazy I would show you my good side But what have you done for me lately? Every day would be heavenly when she Call me up and I stop through Every day I look to the sky and I Thank God that I’m not you (No room in Hell) When the elevators go down And the guest list is closed Ain’t no +1’s allowed And the devil locked his doors (No room in Hell) The nightmares come quick The air is getting thick When the dead start to rise And there’s no place to hide (No room in Hell) When the elevators go down And the guest list is closed Ain’t no +1’s allowed And the devil locked his doors (No room in Hell) The nightmares come quick The air is getting thick When the dead start to rise There’s no place to hide (No room in Hell) (No room in Hell) When the elevators go down And the guest list is closed Ain’t no +1’s allowed And the devil locked his doors (No room in Hell) The nightmares come quick The air is getting thick When the dead start to rise And there’s no place to hide (No room in Hell) When the elevators go down And the guest list is closed Ain’t no +1’s allowed And the devil locked his doors (No room in Hell) The nightmares come quick The air is getting thick When the dead start to rise There’s no place to hide (No room in Hell) Sam B!
My 2 Cents – My head is deep in editing of some really great horror stories for Nightmare Whispers. (and some great poetry and flash fiction for Fae Dreams. ) We have announcements upcoming on the Fae Corps Blog Thursday. So I chose a song to match my theme. This was done for a video game. It was honestly better than the game it was made for. The video has some great cinematic effects. This song makes it into my daily listening most of the time. I am not usually into rap music, with a few exceptions. This is one of the exceptions.
Hello my dear readers, I am hoping this finds you well. It has been a bit since we had our tea party. Tonight I am doing a nice hot cup of Chai.
Well, We have what looks like two volumes of submissions for Nightmare whispers. Fae dreams is collecting submissions as well. Both are planned for a October release. Fae Corps has managed a Duo-trope listing!
I have slowly been working on revisiting all of my older volumes to make the layout just that much better. I have also been writing, so I should have at least one new book to share before the end of the year.
