Hello, everyone;
I know I said I probably wouldn’t be getting another newsletter out until the fall, but there are some things I wanted to share.
First off, I did my very first book signing. It was at Dog Eared Books (Oromocto, NB). A local (to me) used book store that also features local authors (like me) and artists. Some family members came to see me, and I sold two books. Neither of which were to any of the family members. I’m calling it a win.
My family and I have also been on vacation this past week, and we were busy. Many day trips. Visited local “touristy” spots and did some walking trails. Had a lot of fun. Our dog has a vet visit tomorrow then maybe after that things will get back to “normal”. I don’t mind though, I love being busy. Haven’t had a lot of time to write though. :(
I do have some news on the writing front though. Coming up in December, I’m going to have a short story in a young adult’s horror anthology. Spring of 2026, I’ll have a horror story that involves a doll in another magazine (I’ve been published with this one before). And finally, I’m going to have a reprint flash in Bullet Points Military Sci-Fi Magazine. Also in 2026. I’ve also been in this one before.
Issue 11 of Bullet Points will be coming out this October. Eric Fomley (of Shacklebound Books) will be the guest editor. This issue will be dark Military Sci-Fi, will have about 15K more words than a usual issue, and has 16 stories for your enjoyment. If anyone is interested in subscribing (or if you know someone who would be interested, please pass this along), you can get 10% off regular pricing with the code word: LETTEROPENER. Here is the link: Nathan Toronto's Bullet Points - Subscribe.
And finally, I may have one other writing secret. Stay tuned. ;)
Enjoy the rest of your summer.

These pigs were hilarious. Had the zoomies while we were there. King's Landing-New Brunswick
Middle Island Irish Historical Park - Miramichi, NB, Canada
Covered Bridge in Sussex, New Brunswick. We used to have so many of these. There are fewer and fewer every year.
We lost one of our local covered bridges this year. So sad to think about the historical cost.
On a happier note, congratulations on all the stories!
