The Second Brother

It's time for another How Do They Compare. This time I am doing The Hobbit . Minor Spoilers Ahead!!!

At the beginning of October I did my first ever book signing! I did it at a local deli during a street festival. It was a lot of fun. I sold copies of my book and talked to people. While I was there a reporter for the newspaper came up and talked to me. He asked questions about my book and how I got into writing. Then he said he wanted to do an article about me and my book for the paper! The article came out two weeks later. I already have two more signings set up for the end of November and beginning of December. One of them is at the library. The library also bought a copy to put on their shelves! You can get your copy of Royal Fire  here Life has been busy and blogging got pushed to the back of my mind. I am going to try and make blogging a higher priority. P.S. My comparison for The Hobbit is still coming. :D  Until next time, Jonathan

Today I'm doing the Hello September blog tag! Yes, I am aware that September is almost over. All of the questions are fall related so I can really do it whenever I want. (As long it's still fall.)

I changed my blog design! So if you came to The Second Brother and it looked different, you didn't come to the wrong blog. I am going to try to do a blog series f or the first time . It will be called How Do They Compare?  I will take a book that was made into a movie and compare them. It won't be a review. I will be seeing how they are similar and different. The first one will be Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

I have exciting news. My debut novel,  Royal Fire is now available on Amazon !

I was debating whether I should do a June recap post or not since June was a quiet month. Not much happened. Especially compared to May .  I ended up deciding not to do one.  Never fear though. I am still doing a post.

I know in my last post I said Royal Fire would be releasing today, but we ran into some "technical difficulties." We thought it was formatted right, but it turns out it wasn't. To make matters worse, there were extra page breaks being added and we couldn't get rid of them. Well, we finally got rid of them and are close to having it formatted right. I do not have a new release date yet. It should hopefully be published in the next week or two. (I will let you guys know when I have a date picked.) In the mean time, I have a cover reveal!

May was a big month. Not in the sense that it was thirty-one days, but I reached some big milestones. Anyway here are some of the highlights.

Happy Star Wars day everyone! In honor of this unofficial holiday, I am doing a Star Wars tag. Sorry about not posting lately. Life has been crazy busy with preparing for a senior recital and trying to finish school before I graduate. But life will be slowing down soon, so I will be getting back to posting regularly.

A couple months ago I had to write an essay for a writing class I was taking. I don't enjoy writing essays at all, but I was able to choose the topic so it made it a little better. I decided to share it with you guys today. I hope you enjoy it.

Wow! It is already February. It's hard to believe we are one month into 2018. Anyways, here is a recap of my month.

I have wanted to read  Fablehaven  for a little while now.   I finally got around to reading it. And I enjoyed it thoroughly.
