Blog postThis week, I started a new short story for the 1st Anthology Volume of “Tales of Agrobathe” series. While prepping to write the story, I realized I have not been keen on all my characters nor do I have an easier way of creating new characters for my story. This led me to looking up a few quick commands and attempting to create an HTML5 character generator. Right away I had some issues with getting this to work properly on a local machine, as I do not want to host my generator anywhere but my

Blog postI was in a Facebook group recently for worldbuilders and came across a question posted to from one of its members. They were looking for software that tied their maps together in some form or other. I thought about it and then, having previous experience in HTML scripting, suggested using an Image Map. Which basically allows you to map out clickable points on an image shown on a website. Back in the 90s, I created an online game/community that used Image Maps, but still being new to HTML 3 ba

Blog postI was fairly active right before the Covid-19 outbreak swept the planet. I’ve also been mostly in isolation during this time. The stress of it all however killed my writing effort. To the point where not only did I not want to write anymore, I also neglected my business as a whole. Instead of getting a massive word count, which I’m sure many did, I maintained and still do a full-time job in addition to my writing and publishing business here in Australia.

Blog postA new channel has been launched on YouTube for LJR Publishing. At the moment, there are just the book trailers for the Gorp the Goblin series. The channel needs new subscribers as it’s just getting started and there are plans to have more content added this year. First up, will be book reviews for Fantasy & Sci-Fi books and media. These will not be LJR Publishing’s works, but works of other authors. Being that the branding of LJR Publishing is fantastical, you won’t see just another borin

Blog postAs 2019 draws to a close and I sit in a flat in Balmain overlooking the Sydney harbor in Australia, I’m happy to report that I was able to get the whole Gorp the Goblin trilogy book trailers completed. Having a video for marketing purposes is a valuable asset for a publisher/author. I’m looking forward to 2020 and hope to release two more books, the fantasy anthology “Tales of Agrobathe: Volume 1” and the first book in the new sci-fi series “Dark Dwellers”. I wish everyone a Happy New Year an

Blog postIt is with great excitement that I’m happy to announce LJR Publishing has its first Book Trailer. They are much like movie trailers, but instead promote novels. This one is for the first book in the Gorp the Goblin trilogy, “Gorp: Goblin Janitor”. I plan to eventually have multiple book trailers for all of my books. There is also a Christmas Giveaway still going on until Christmas Day 2019 if anyone would like to try and win a free paperback copy of the Gorp: Goblin Janitor book, just click t

Blog postNaNoWriMo 2019 has come and gone and with it, I am happy to relay as the image above signifies, that I have won my 4th NaNoWriMo, this also being my 4th attempt to do NaNoWriMo. With this year’s event, I decided to kick-off a new series and not just a new series a Science Fiction series, which opens up my writing into a new genre. I plan to release both Fantasy and Sci-Fi under my author name of Jon Ray. If you see my name from this point forward, just note that I write in both the Fantasy an

Blog postLocation: St. Ives Medieval Faire – St. Ives, NSW, Australia
This was my 2nd time at St. Ives Medieval Faire as a vendor and this time last year, it was my first time to be a vendor at a Medieval Faire. This event did not disappoint and my fanbase has grown larger. This event is tied with Winterfest as one of my best events for book signings. This also happened to be the first event where I finally had copies of the complete Gorp the Goblin trilogy. A few first-time readers bough -
Blog postAnother weekend and another event at my bookstall. This time was Winterfest 2019 in Hawkesbury, NSW outside of Sydney, Australia. This was also my first time to have all my new banners and signs. From the results and number of people I saw make a beeline for my stall, I know they worked well. As you can see from the pic below, I had my colorful banner, which was designed by myself using the full book covers for all Gorp the Goblin books. Also, the Book Posters showed a bigger picture of the a

Blog postLast weekend I attended the Supanova Comic and Gaming Con in Sydney, Australia for the first time as a vendor. I’d had been before twice just to check it out, but this year with my ramp up as a fantasy author, I got myself a table shared with fellow author Natasja Rose to help cut the cost and offered my books. I had planned to make this the event to launch the 3rd Gorp the Goblin book and finish out the trilogy, but unfortunately, I decided it still needed a bit more editing and had to go th
