The Blog Has Moved!!!

Ladies and gentleman, this is the final entry in the blogger blog because we are moving to

Main Blog - blog.thirteencrossroads.com

That is a Wordpress site built into my domain. But that is not the only exciting news. In addition to this blog movement, I will now be writing and publishing in three additional blogs on a weekly basis:

Poets' Corner - poetscorner.thirteencrossroads.com

I enjoy writing poetry; I always have, but I never really had a good venue that I wanted to use for it. Now I do, this blog. Go over and see if you like them or not.

The Blog of Life - life.thirteencrossroads.com

This is a blog about life, the world we live in, and the things people think matter. I like analyzing the things we do or believe in society and drawing better understanding from it.

The Sunday Blog - sunday.thirteencrossroads.com

I would be remiss if I ignored the things that matter the most to me, about my beliefs and becoming a better person. Here I write essays on discipleship and Christ each week. 

Newsletter!!! - www.thirteencrossroads.com/home/blog.html

I have been musing options to get a newsletter out each month, and finally have things figured out. Go to the above page and sign up for the Thirteen Crossroads Newsletter, which will come out at the start of each month. The link above will take you to my website where the signup form for the newsletter is. 

In Sum

New blog: go follow it

Newsletter: sign up for it

Thirteen Crossroads: keep reading Trevor's stories!

Alright everybody, that's it for blogger. Goodbye for now. See you on the other site (see what I did there?).

May Update: Outcast Chapter Five Out; More Updates to Come

The Outcast and the Survivor: Chapter Five is here!

I'm seriously in love with this story, and am enjoying just garnishing it with more characters and places. There are also some themes that are developing and little references and allusions to things going on in the world that will suddenly become very important later on! I look forward to what the rest of part one (chapters 1-12) will have in store for all of you.

In related news, The Boy Who Chased the Sun is still in drafting, but I am hoping to have it published by the end of the month. Same goes for Destiny (at least a new polished draft by the end of the month). 

Now there are a lot of other little things that I'm developing right now, and I was going to give some updates in this entry, but I've decided to wait until some new plans are in motion before I announce anything (i.e. I need to figure out what on earth I'm doing before I tell you). So anyway, more announcements to come in the next week-ish. For now, enjoy chapter five, and have a great week!

Facebook Giveaway

Alright, marketing for Crystal Palace and everything else is finally getting in gear. Some of you are here thanks to some advertisement you saw, and others have been here from the start. Either way, get on Facebook and share something from the website, like a story or picture or something, or the Facebook page or something on Facebook relating to my stories, designs, and include the hashtag #findthirteenreaders. I will find one of you each day and give you the option of choosing one or more of my e-books that you'll be gifted (on Amazon or Nook as you prefer). Good luck!

New Outcast Chapter Out and Some Other Updates

Hello all,

The new chapter, chapter four, of The Outcast and the Survivor, is now available for Kindle, Nook, and on thirteencrossroads.com. It has actually been out for several days, but I didn't want to write this until I completed the update on the site. I'm running a little late on these things because I've been a bit more focused on my father, who is having brain surgery today to clip two aneurysms. Thank you for your patience.

This brings me to another update I wanted to post about. I'll be running a number of ads starting this weekend on various blogs, so traffic on this site should be going up a little (meaning this will be some of your first times reading my blog post). I thought I would take this opportunity to explain that I'm going to loosen up my release dates moving forward. My goal for The Outcast and the Survivor will still be to release each new chapter on the 1st of a month, but I don't want to hold myself to a date if I need an extra day or two, so moving forward I will be using more general release dates until I am closer to a release date. Just follow on social media or just this blog to keep updated.

I will be doing this for all of my release dates moving forward, which you'll see for the release dates of the first books in the Distant Souls and Destiny series. I should still be able to hit close to the original date for those and my other works, but I've just found that I don't like having a specific date that I'm requiring myself to be done by because, well, I want the stories to be as great as they can be, and a few extra days can make a world of a difference.

So I think that's all I have for now. There are plenty of stories available right now; there is no shortage of what you can explore/read from me. Just explore thirteencrossroads.com or go to my authors pages on Goodreads and Amazon.

Thank you all for following this awesome journey. I look forward with great anticipation on what I have in store for you in the future!

The Boy Who Chased The Sun Delayed

Greetings all!

I know it's still a week away from April, but I want to give the heads up that I'm going to need a bit more time to finish The Boy Who Chased the Sun and get it exactly the way I want it to be. So I'm creating a more general release date of April, 2015.

The next chapter of the Outcast series will be available on the 1st still, so no worries on that. I just want to spend much more time on marketing the next couple of weeks, and getting more people on this site looking around.

A special thanks for all of you following and supporting me right now!

Falcon of the Night now available

It has taken several days longer than I had hoped, but the short story Falcon of the Night is now available. I apologize for the delay, but at the same time, I don't. I'm very happy with the way the story has developed, been polished in the last week. I think it turned out even better than I'd hoped, the cover included. Give it a read, you'll love it!

That being said, because it took so long, it cut into the time I needed to prepare another short story for April, so I won't be releasing another short story until the start of May. But you can look forward to the release of the next Outcast chapter and The Boy Who Chased the Sun in early April. 

To clarify release dates, I really have the best of intentions to hit them spot on and be done early (that's what I'm going for with the April 1st releases). That being said, it's important that everything I release meets the standards of quality I want them to be. None of them are perfect, because there is no such thing as a perfect story, but I try to get them to a point that I am satisfied with them and feel like they are ready to go out in the world (which to me is a lot like how some birds teach their offspring to fly, by tossing them off a cliff and seeing what comes of it).

Anyway, thanks for following along, and I really hope you enjoy this story. See you all next month.

The Outcast and the Survivor Chapter Three Now Available

The next chapter in the Outcast series (TOATS) is now up on the site and available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. I'm very excited about it (and the cover which I absolutely love). Falcon of the Night, a short story taking place in the world of Eretsfel, should become available Friday or Saturday.
