This year is proving to be an exciting expansion year for B.B. LeClere. The start of the year saw the debut of The Secret War of 1834 in Audiobook format, quickly followed by the release of the second book in the trilogy, The Tainted Arrow. Lessons learned from our earlier audiobook release allowed us to offer The Tainted Arrow in Audiobook format much quicker. Creatively, we expanded into the boardgame arena with Zombies v Steampunk - THE GAME. Learning the production process of games was challenging, exciting and very rewarding. We have since expanded with Zombies v Steampunk - THE GAME standard and deluxe editions.
With The Bleeding Quill LLC evolving and growing with new and varied goods offered, we continue to have much success at conventions. Additional adventure is on the horizon as we journey into game conventions and author conferences, as well as expeditions for future book locales and local history research trips planned to Boston, Mackinaw Island and Baton Rouge (including a boat trip up the mighty Mississippi River)!
2025 promises to end on a high note with the inaugural Cajun Con, taking us further afield into new territory both physically and additional on-line platforms. We are also very excited to enter the BookFest Contest this year for additional exposure and recognition. The Author Nation 2025 Convention in Las Vegas promises to be a rich resource and opportunity to further our 2026 goal of developing more marketing and distribution strategies for the book trilogy (once the final book is released) and the board game.
An excellent end for 2025 and strong start to 2026. We look forward to the adventure and challenges ahead!!
