Updates

I'm waiting for word back on DAW Publishers' opinion (and possible publication) on Take The Breath Out of Me. I sent it in Jan. 13th, and should hear from them no later than May of this year. The prologue and first chapter, as well as sketches of the characters and cover, can be seen here: TTBOOM. It is a very easy read, great for "E Books" and single settings. Some reader discretion is needed due to drug references within the novel.

As for "THE PROTECTORS" I am nearly done editing, then it will be evaluated by a few choice people, re-edited for any grammatical errors, and finally sent in for publishing after I hear back about Take the Breath Out of Me. It's prologue, first chapters, and drawings can be seen here: THE PROTECTORS. It is a YA Sci-fi novel with more surprises than your Tax Returns. ;)

And last but most certainly not least, the Waterbound Epic is well under way. I have written all of part one of the first book "Waterbound" (aka, 90k words) and will begin parts 2 and 3 by this summer. The second novel in the series, Stronghold, I hope to begin writing no later than Dec 2013. It will be followed by Lifestone and Ancients.

I've also got ideas for another novel, "Faceless." It is nothing more than a rough draft cover and an unnamed character, but hey, that's how all the other ones started! 

I am deciding on which direction to take, trouble teen looking for an identity, or troubled teen without an identity. (Either way, the message will be the same, but it is a question of "how sci-fi do I want to go"...)

I want to thank you for your interest in my novels, and let you know if you are one of the first 50 to "follow" this blog, and share it with your 'peeps',  you can expect signed copies, interview privileges, press release passes, and all that good stuff, when I go big ;) .
