Hello, Zarate Creations Family!
Updates:
I hope you are well as we transition into June, leaving behind a vibrant and eventful May. We experienced a few storms, some hot weather, and a month full of memorable moments. I’m thrilled to share that I’ve begun implementing the recommendations provided by the Mays School of Business, and I’m excited to see the positive results in the coming months.
In May, I attended several networking events, including the National Small Business Week Virtual Summit and several 1 Million Cups networking meetups. Each event was phenomenal, and I am deeply grateful for every entrepreneur I had the opportunity to connect with. Additionally, I’m honored to have been recognized by CaVArts, a veteran centered group, highlighting my creative efforts and promoting my journey as both a veteran and entrepreneur. This recognition fills me with immense gratitude and pride.
Audio Adventures:
I’m delighted to announce that I have completed the edits for “Reflections In Darkness,” and now have five of my books available in audio format. This journey into the world of audiobooks has been an incredible experience, and I’m looking forward to making each of my novels available in all formats in the coming months.
Projects and Coming Releases:
Exciting news! “Zarate Zen 1” is now available in Spanish! The final approval was a success, and is available in eBook, paperback and hard cover editions. Next up for translation is “Positive Pets.” Meanwhile, “Echoes Of Innocence” is in the final stages of completion, and I’m thrilled to release it with a new cover and illustrations. “Drake’s Orb” is still in progress, and I can’t wait to share it with the world. Onwards! +
Podcast:
The Zarate Creations podcast is now live on Spotify, with two episodes available and more to come. As promised, the podcast focuses on encouragement, creativity, and sharing the growth of Zarate Creations. Tune in to join this journey of inspiration and positivity.
Zarate Zen 3:
I’m currently working on the cover art and images for “Zarate Zen 3.” In the coming weeks, I will finalize the subtitle, and will settle on a release date by next month. Onwards! +
Plus Publication:
With so much being shared online, I’ve decided to assemble a book of positivity and motivation for creatives. I am dedicated to crafting a resource that will support and inspire artists, writers, and photographers. As someone who understands the challenges of maintaining a positive mindset while pursuing a creative lifestyle, I hope this book will become a creative’s go-to guide for tackling life’s obstacles with inspiration and passion.
Be well, my friends. As the days grow warmer, I hope you take the time to enjoy the beauty of every shower, the colors of every bloom, and the peace and clarity to see your goals, build your passions, and achieve your dreams.
Onwards! +
