THE WRAP UP-- DALTON-WHITFIELD LIBRARY AUTHOR FEST!

 

The Life In The Faster Lane tour rolled into Dalton, GA today for the Dalton-Whitfield County Public Library's 2026 Author Fest. This is one of my favorite events each year. Thanks to Brandy Wyatt and her staff for putting on a great event. Met some new writers and caught up with pals Seth Tucker, Marlena Frank, Kelley Frank, Lee T. Lunsford, Kenyon T. Henry, Keith Robinson, and Dino Hicks who popped in to surprise us. I had some wonderful conversations today.

We had a fun panel on the writing/life balance. Only one attendee, but she had good questions and we talked about paths toward publication for her book in progress.

My dad joined me for this trip and we left early, getting to watch the sun rise. He hates the freeways so we took an out of the way course that took us over a mountain Beautiful scenery to start the day even if the sharp, windy curves did my stomach no favors. :)

A fun day out. Back home now and exhausted, but also exhilarated. Spending the day surrounded by creative people tends to do that. It's like going to a creative spa.

Here are a few photos. I should have taken more.

The Life In The Faster Lane tour continues on April 18th. See the full schedule at www.bobbynash.com and www.ben-books.com

Have a great weekend.

THIS IS NOT THE BOBBY NASH YOU ARE LOOKING FOR...

I had to Google something related to one of my books today and Google added this disclaimer to the search results. It made me laugh, but man, I cannot get out from under the shadow of this TV show character. One time, Google had credited the fiction Captain Bobby Nash for writing my novels. Sheesh. Oh, well. It's kinda funny. Kinda.

Bobby

REAL WORLD WRITING REFERENCE...

Real world locations sometimes inform my writing. I recently wrote a wonderful conversation scene and the characters were sitting on a bench in front of a gazebo in a small park-like area in a small town.

Since I live in a small town that has one of those, I used it as reference to describe the area. I even snapped a photo for my reference files. The one change I made was adding a metal bench just off the sidewalk next to it.

This project is in the early stages of development and I'm enjoying getting to know these new characters. This story is not connected to anything I've written before.

Will share more when I can.

PRESS RELEASE:
NEW YORK, NY – March 19, 2026

Author collective Crazy 8 Press announced today the soon-to-launch Kickstarter campaign for Southwatch Stories – A Darkside Chronicles Anthology, a new steampunk-inspired collection of class warfare stories in collaboration with series creator Richard White.

On an unnamed world, the island city of Southwatch is a steampunk marvel of science, technology, and innovation—if you live in Dayside, above the clouds, as the wealthy elite. But if you’re scurrying for survival in Darkside, the island city’s lower ranks engulfed by a toxic cloud of poison and pollution, existence is a very different endeavor indeed.

In a battle of the haves and have-nots, readers will be taken on a dark, nefarious journey through the underbelly of this original steampunk fantasy world, where humans and mechanical beings form partnerships, alliances… and deals they’ll come to regret.

Stories are set to appear from Crazy 8 Press members Robert Greenberger, Hildy Silverman, Paul Kupperberg, and Aaron Rosenberg, and from an all-star line-up of contributors including Natalie Bartley, Phil Giunta, Bobby Nash, Dayton Ward, Steve Saville, and Richard White. Stretch-goal authors include Richard Dansky and Michael Stackpole.

Inspired by “The Cloud Minders” episode from Star Trek: The Original Series, White set out to explore what happens where there’s “no green grass, no animals, and where old tech and super-science merge—and collide.

“Darkside is the penalty of hubris,” White said. “The creators of this steampunk tech-inspired world get to live in Dayside’s plume of luxury while everyone else lives in squalor. The wealthy are willing to make that trade-off, if they consider it at all. But for everyone else, their motivations are quite different.”

“We’ve been looking to expand our projects into steampunk,” said Crazy 8 Press founding member Bob Greenberger. “Richard’s dark vision for this world is exactly the kind of environment we wanted to explore.”

The Kickstarter campaign to launch Southwatch Stories – A Darkside Chronicles Anthology will run from March 30 to April 30, 2026. Published through White’s StarWarp Concepts with support from Crazy 8 Press, print and e-books will become available to backers in November, and to the general public shortly thereafter.

Back the Kickstarter campaign HERE today.

THE WRAP UP-- BEWARE THE "AYE"- DES OF MARCH INDIE AUTHOR EVENT!

 

She's behind me,
isn't she?

The Life In The Faster Lane tour headed to Dahlonega, GA on Saturday, March 14th for the Beware the "Aye"- Des of March Indie Author Event! Authors on hand included Juliet Rose, D.Z. Hollow, James Palmer, Matt Nielsen, and Bobby Nash. Laurie Hyatt, who was doing a signing nearby, also popped in for a bit. The event ran from 11am - 7pm.

We sat up on the second floor covered porch in front of the Dahlonega Walking Tours entrance, who hosted the event along with Juliet and Justin. There was a ghost tour and also a wine tasting later in the day. I had a great day. We got off to a slow start, but it was nice having time to chat before things started picking up. We met some wonderful people, sold some books, and gave away some art and free coffee.

The biggest surprise came when a couple came by who were celebrating the 

Excited fans.

thirty-first wedding anniversary and were traveling. From Arkansas, they came through New Orleans to Tybee Island, GA and finally to Dahlonega, GA. All on a lark. They stumbled on us by accident. Side note, I might have some books in their store soon.

Evil Ways was the big seller of the day. It's been a while since I could announce that.

A fun time was had. I believe that there are more events like this scheduled for the same space. I hope to be back to do it again.

I also tried out a new table set up. I like this one, but it still needs a little work.

KEEP SHOVELING...

I saw this quote attributed to Jordan Peele today. I think this perfectly sums up writing my first drafts.

"When I’m writing the first draft, I’m constantly reminding myself that I’m simply shoveling sand into a box so that later I can build castles."

Keep shoveling.

Good advice.

Bobby

How Do You Find The Time To Write?

A question I've been getting a lot lately is "How do you find time to write?" The truth is, you don't. You have to make time to write. If you wait for free time, you'll never find it. Trust me on this.

This answer is usually followed by, "But I have a job or I have a family." I wrote most of my first novel in a little less than 30 minutes a day on my lunch break at my day job. I sat in my car with a bag lunch and wrote. First, in notebooks. Then, when I got a laptop, I used that. later, a tablet turned out to be perfect for writing on my lunch break. It's doable.

Some writers I know wake up an hour earlier than normal to write for an hour before leaving for work or turn off the TV early and write before bed. You make the most out of time. Writing for 30 minutes a day took time, but I eventually got there.

Good luck.

Bobby
