MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Updates for the Holidays...

Memories of a Distant Future (see the column to the right) is free for your holiday enjoyment at the listed retailers.

Book 2, Here and Now, is in review by some beta readers...shout out to them for their help.  I also begin cover design the first part of January.

Book 3, Suspicions of a Distant Future is about two thirds done.  Looking forward to getting back into this one and seeing where the series goes from there.

I have some other projects I am really getting excited about getting back to in the Fantasy realm but need to at least get this series tidied up before I start those.

Enjoy the holidays and if you travel, do so safely.

Book 2, Here and Now

Getting REALLY close on book 2.  I have scheduled the cover design to begin in January.  I have Beta Readers ready to take a peek and then an editor to make sure you don't see my horrible grammar.  I am hoping to set the date of release for February 28th.

For Beta Readers

Here is a list of articles and blogs on Beta Reading.

This is a good 4 part set on Beta-Reading:

This one has ten rules for both Beta Reader and writer:

This one explains where it came from, why it is important to the writer and the ins and outs of Beta Reading:

This is a second installment adding to the article above and goes into greater detail of how to Beta Read and give better constructive criticism.  Now this one goes into some pretty detailed ideas that even I had to struggle with to remember (from English classes all those years ago):

Book 2, Here and Now

Book 2 of the series is moving along.  I am looking for five or six Beta readers to give me critiques on it in the coming months.  If you are interested, send me an email or leave a comment below.

In Celebration of Labor Day!

Memories of a Distant Future has gone on sale for FREE!  Please tell your friends!

If you have read it, please go to the retailer you acquired it from and rate it.

Thanks and enjoy.

Book 2 Progress

Book 2 is coming along well.  I have not come up with a very good name yet but I hope to very soon.  Once I finish the rough draft, I will revise and edit it then I will be asking for a few beta readers to read it and give me some feedback.  While they are reading it, I will begin the process of working up a cover for it and another for the Series.

Once the beta readers are done and the cover is done, I will be doing for another revision.

Somewhere along the way, I will reveal a chapter or two here on this blog for you to get a feel for where that book will be going.

If you liked my first book, Memories of a Distant Future, please return to the retailer you bought it from and give it a review.  I get alerts when there are reviews and I love to hear feedback. It will also help me fine tune it and future books.
