Proof Is On Its Way

The proof copy of Athame has been shipped from CreateSpace as of yesterday. Should get here sometime next week. It looks good onscreeen, but that proves nothing. Here's hoping.

Another One

A new review on Amazon. Four stars this time.

I need to put up links to these all in one spot, but I can't get loose from book 2 long enough to do it.

And another one

A five (5) star review for Athame is up on Amazon.

Happy :)

Another 4 star review for Athame. This one is up on Smashwords. Read it HERE.

This makes me three reviews so far, all favorable. All right, it's pitiful. But I'm excited, cut me some slack. This is my first novel. :)

Book 2, titled Wrath, is coming along. About 35k words now. Heres an excerpt describing the dark patch:

Once a lush source of life, the dark slough was now an infected wound in the skin of the land. Nothing green survived within the watershed, and precious little life of any kind. Black snags of broken trees still emerged at random spots from the slimy mud, like rotten teeth in the mouth of an ancient degenerate. Scavenger plants, fungi and molds, coated the earth's corpse and floated like vomit on the surface of dead puddles - all that remained of a sparkling stream. The bog at the bottom of the watershed was a putrid cauldron of bubbling corruption. 

 I think I might start posting occasional snippets here, just to be doing it.

Growing geometrically?

I read somewhere that every time you add another POV to a book, it doubles the length. I'm starting to believe it. So far, I have about 33k words written on Book 2 of the trilogy and I am barely started.

This is might just be a hefty one, I think.

A quiet Easter

Peaceful here for a change. Nice.

Posted a request on one of the author groups on Goodreads asking for reviews, already got an offer. Fingers crossed.

I need to change that sidebar. 

Back to work

I thought I had that thing done.

*sigh*

I went over Athame multiple times, and had two other people, college educated professionals, proofread it before I published it.

But such is life. The reviewer is right. I looked last night and found two places where I used its and it should have been it's. Also, for some obscure reason, innkeeper got used as a proper name and capitalized. Among other things.

Oh well. It would be pure hubris not to leave at least a few flaws:) Yeah. that's the excuse I'll use.
