Sad and Happy

I sold ten copies at the local Borders through May, but the last two haven’t moved in three months. I’m trying not to notice, but it’s a little hard not to. If you know someone in Rancho Santa Margarita, Ca, tell them to at least move the book to another shelf so I can know [...]

New Price

Due to a small error in the publishing process, the list price came out one dollar more than I had expected it too. Not that it’s a huge deal but something about $19.99 just looks better, feels better than anything else. Whether that translates into sales is yet to be seen, but I have a [...]

In about two weeks or a little more, it’ll be submitted to Books In Print, and officially become listed among the plethora of books still available in print.

Forgotten Cover

This the final design for the cover of Forgotten. It was a lot of work, and I must have poured over hundreds if not thousands of royalty free images. It really is Cid’s help that made this all possible anyway. She kept me focused on making the cover something different, unique, and not the standard [...]

Woes of Editing

Well, the final edit is complete. After much angst and many breaks, I have reviewed all of Cid’s comments, rejected some, approved most, and found some other stray it’s along the way. Momentous, but it doesn’t quite feel entirely so, yet at least. I’m not sure I’ll be up to reading it for fun anytime [...]

The cover design is complete. You can see the mock up on the website as the banner image. My editor is going over the book for her final read through right now. I’ll get it back probably at the end of this week and do my own final edit. If everything goes well, and she [...]
