And Here's the NEWS
HARPIES Book 2 of The Seraphym Wars Series Contracted
Well, I finished Harpies. At the end I thought of some great stuff to add in and the book ended up being 85,000 words. Surprised the heck out of me. At one point I was struggling to get 70,000 out of it. Funny how the muse comes in spurts. Anyway, I've submitted it to Lea at MuseItUp Publishing, since she has Book 1 Odessa and the Prequel Guardian. It is due to be released as an eBook in January 2012 then in print.
I like Harpies. I think it might even be better than Odessa, which would make sense. Each of the Harry Potter books got better as they went along. I guess as you get into the story and get to know the characters you write better about them. So now it's on to Book 3 Majikals. This one promises to be more difficult. It involves a lot of faeries, elves, dwarfs, etc and I've never really written about that realm of Fantasy before. New territory.
But first, I'm writing a Dystopian novel during November for the NaNoWriMo event. I'm excited. The story I've devised is AWESOME. But I'm not going to tell you any more about it right now. I've also finished and contracted Laman, Book 2 of the Stardust Warriors Series. It's due out February 2012. I think Books 2, 3, 4 and 5 will go pretty quickly since I use a lot of the same material from Seraphym Wars. I'll keep ya posted. Keep Reading!
