Re-release around the corner!

Okay so it's pretty much been proven that I am the worst blogger ever when it comes to consistently updating you all with what progress I've been making in my little corner of the world. That is mostly because for a while there was nothing to update with. Now, everything is just sort of happening at once, and honestly I'm not sure which of the options is preferable, but balance has never been my strong suit! I either write all the time or not at all; I am a man of extremes, for sure.

ALL RIGHT, so first on the agenda is that I have a new cover for One Two Three, Shatter! I mourn and miss my first one, but this second one is beautiful in its own right, and I'll share it here.

Isn't it beautiful? It was done by the talented Lex Valentine of Rooster and Pig Publishing, and I think she recaptured the setting very well. You can head over here and read an exclusive interview and excerpt from the heavily edited re-release, and one of my favorite scenes was chosen as the excerpt!

This coveted re-release is happening on December 20th, but you can pre-order it at a lower price here! The buy link is about halfway down, after alerting you that I am the author of the month for Rooster and Pig Publishing, which is pretty exciting. I've put my blood, sweat and tears into this story, both the first round and this second one, so it would mean a lot if you lovelies who bought/read it the first time gave the re-release another chance to see what we've changed in Kaleb's little world.

Currently I'm working on a new round of edits for One Two Three, Salvation, and for the latter part of this series I've been given a unique chance to fix some plot holes that readers have pointed out in the later books. The upcoming novels will include much more world-building and character-building, and I'm excited to see what you all think of the changes! As far as new, fresh writing goes, I had a manuscript finished before the worst of the worst happened: my computer crashed and I didn't back up my manuscript, at least not the most recent version, to my email. Sad story, I know.

Always save your work, kiddos.

Signing off for now! What are you all currently working on? Thanks for reading :)

Little bit of everything

I'm sure by this point everyone's heard about Silver Publishing and everything that's gone on with that cluster, so I'm not going to go into it. I'm just going to say that I got my rights back to Kaleb and Kay's stories, and now I'm looking to publish them with Rooster and Pig Publishing.

That being said, I haven't had much time to dedicate to writing and such, because of the fiasco with Silver I haven't been able to use writing as a means to making ends meet, so I've been working more or less nonstop. That being the case, I am working on rewriting a couple of my older stories, making them better and shopping around for other publishers.

All I'm saying is keep an eye out for new stuff relatively soon. Well, new old stuff, but you know what I mean. Signing off for now!
