Sequel on the Horizon

Well the sequel is on the horizon.

Piercing the Darkness, the second in the Deepest Darkness series, is finished.  Formatting is complete and ready for upload.  The only thing standing in the way of publication tonight is adjustment to the cover art.  Still needs a bit of tweaking.

Last year's cover artist wasn't available for this release so all responsibility for Piercing's cover has fallen to a young man who is still learning some of the tricks of the trade.  Latest views are promising.  My fingers are crossed that we'll have a nice cover ready for upload before leaving for Thanksgiving break.

Apologies for the delay, oh patient readers!

In the meantime, if you haven't yet purchased your copy of the first in the series, Running into the Darkness, then now's your time while it is still available for the bargain price of only ninety-nine cents.  Let your friends and family know while it's hot!

I hope you are anticipating the release of Piercing the Darkness - almost as much as I am!

The Goose Is Getting Fat

Oh the frustrations of publishing!

For the past few weeks I've been working on prepping Running into the Darkness for publishing as an eBook.  I'd hoped to have it ready sometime during the month of September.

At this rate, I'll be glad for it to publish before the end of October.

The cover art is delayed.  A few additional edits have made themselves known.  Those who volunteered to read the entire thing for continuity issues have been rather busy.

Plus September is my son's birthday month.  He DOES like the attention.

So now September is waning and October rapidly running upon it like an out-of-control freight train (watched Unstoppable recently).  If only I could get the cover art finalized I think I'd be feeling a little better about the whole process.

In the meantime, I've been trying to finish an odd short story to perhaps publish as well.  It'd be nice to have a couple of items up and available before Christmas.  Time to fatten up that goose!

Here's hoping to tip a glass in celebration before the close of 2011.
