The Eagle Post - November 2023

Eagle Rider Outfitters | Writing Update | Book Recommendations

Hello Friends!

November has flown by, hasn’t it! It’s been a busy month for me getting Quest in Progress set up and working on some other Eagle Rider related projects that I’m excited to share with you this week (see below). I hope you all enjoyed Crystal. It was great to hear from some of you after I posted the story. Always feel free to reply to any Quest in Progress emails - the replies come straight to me and I love to hear from you! Keep an eye out for Knot, the next short story coming mid-December.

What have you been up to this month?

Eagle Rider Outfitters

For years, I have wanted to create Eagle Rider Saga themed merch, and this year, I’ve finally made it happen. So without further ado, I give you Eagle Rider Outfitters, selling Eagle Rider Saga themed t-shirts, hoodies, mugs, and bags (all in time for Christmas!). I had great fun creating the designs and hope to create more in the future (I’m open to suggestions/requests).

Sustainability in the clothing industry is really important to me, so I’m very pleased that I was able to produce these products using Teemill, who have a great ethos when it comes to being sustainable and eco-friendly.

Check out some of the new merch - I’ve been living in my new hoody this week, it’s so comfy! You can buy your own over on the website. Plus for UK customers, this weekend is Teemill’s freepost weekend, which means from Friday 9am to Sunday midnight, you can get free postage on all orders!

Here's me all excited about having a runic hoody (and trying not to look cold while modelling the t-shirts!). Plus some bags for carrying books and mugs for hot chocolate!

Writing Update

November has been a very creative month for me but I’ve done very little actual writing! When I haven’t been designing t-shirts and setting up Quest in Progress, I have been doing lots of thinking about the Eagle Rider Saga books 3 and 4. I’ve had feedback from my early readers of book 3 and lots of great ideas have been formulating in my mind. Translating those ideas into an outline is more of a challenge but I know that having an outline before I dive back into redrafting will be really helpful (as my brother has been telling me for years!).

Book Recommendations

Finally, I know Christmastime for many is a time when more reading than normal happens. People are always asking me for book recommendations so here’s a few for you to consider for your holiday reading!

What will you be reading this Christmas? Do you re-read your favourites or dive into something new? What are your recommendations? Share in the comments or reply to this email to let me know!

Until next time, all the best!

Lindsey

The Dark Star by H.R. Hess - great for younger and older readers alike, a tale of an adventuring princess, a young soldier on a mission, the stars walking on earth, and of course, dragons!

Of Fire and Ash by Gillian Bronte Adams - magical horses, an outcast Queen, a jungle rebellion, and a young missionary caught up in a war are all things you will find in this book. Plus the sequel Of Sea and Smoke is also brand new out!

Wishtress by Nadine Brandes - a girl with tears that grant wishes, a boy who can stop time with a snap of his fingers, a wintry world in need of rescue, folktale vibes.
