Welcome to the Heibel Media Newsletter
June 2014

As you'll see in the monthly update, May was an excellent writing month with an exceeding of the monthly goal and a small dent in the shortage of words to reach my 500,000 words goal by the end of the year.

Some big news on Reunion and on the fantasy novel will be posted in my 150th blog post on Friday June 6 so make sure you check that out.

New short story this month is NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! Oh, no! New stories will return in July.

If you've been following my website I have removed some stories from the site. I'll have three free stories available now. The rest are available by digital subscription and will be released with a book collection of short stories hopefully in December.

Summer is finally here and who wants to be inside when the weather is nice so isn't one's writing going to suffer? No. That's why God made laptops so you can write outside.

Read on and enjoy my stories!

New Short Story The Glass Man Postponed to July!

Art has it's own time table and after nine straight months of releasing short stories, I have to take the month of June's short story off the publication schedule. I just haven't gotten the story right so I'm going to skip June and try to get ahead of the curve and finish two stories in June so I'll always have one story to fall back on. I'll have a blog entry Tuesday talking about pulling the plug on The Glass Man so I can work out the ending and have it ready in July.
