Updates of the Publishing Kind

Dorm Haze has been posted!

I'm excited!

Are you excited?

I'm really excited...

I guess I should stop posting past midnight...

lmao...

Anyways...Dorm Haze is currently on sale for a great price...it won't last long...it's a difficult price to hold out for.

So...this price will be gone soon...so if you want a copy, get it now. This price won't be hanging around.

Oh yea...and I am fixing up some eBooks for you guys!

I know a lot of you prefer playing with your tablets and iPhones and iPads...and junk...

Seriously though, I am working on new eBooks.

You can download Entangled Hearts for free!

If you have already read this book...why don't you get Sins of an Empire for $1.99?

Or you could simply download A Dragon's Curse for free...


Fall of the Honor Guard is going to be published soon...we are not quite finished with the book, so it will be a little while longer.

Until then, we will not be posting publication dates...

It'll be spontaneous!

If you haven't yet read the book between Sins of an Empire and Fall of the Honor Guard...well that eBook isn't ready yet...but you can get the print version now!

Vesuvius' Rise is available in paperback and hardcover...and the eBook should be ready by the end of this week.

So you can get one of these copies...or you can just wait for the eBook...whichever you prefer.

If you're waiting for it in particular, let me know. You know...comment.



Otherwise...



I might delay this one too...

Anyways...back to work on Fall of the Honor Guard!

Sins of an Empire

Sins of an Empire is officially published...

In paperback...

I still have work to do to get it into hard cover...phew...

But, you can buy it now in paperback, or you can wait for hard cover to come out (hard cover is nicer, I know from experience).

Or just check out the link to see the really cool looking cover...

It took a lot of ingenuity to come up with the idea for the cover...was somewhat basic to put together...

EXCEPT FOR THE FIGURES...

They were really hard to make because it had to be a plain black and white figure to work...so I made it from scratch on paint...and now it looks all pretty...

I mean, this took hours to do!

I had to compile the figures first, then I had to come up with a colorful idea...

Just coming up with the idea for the figures was hard enough...

I literally had 8 different cover selections for this bit...mostly surrounding these figures and varying colored patterns...I was going to do purple...but then moonlight stuck in my head and it seemed like a perfect "mood" to reflect the story...

As if the nude figures did not hint enough at that...

If you don't know what I'm talking about, either you didn't look at the cover art yet or you haven't the focus to see what that is...

Anyways...Sins of an Empire is published and I'm done for the day...good night, sleep well...

Everybody have fun the next day...which some of you probably are depending upon your time range...

Mine is Pacific time...so midnight...fun times...

I'm Busy... Gotta Publish!

It's official! I and my partner have finished "Sins of an Empire!"

Phew! What a relief!

Or not...

I'm writer and publisher U_U

That means my job isn't done.

I have to format and layout everything...

I have to check and double check font and spacing in each chapter...

I have to set up the page numbering so that it lines up and looks the same as well as footers and headers...

I have to make a new copyright page for this book...

I need a new set of first pages...

I finally made chapter starters for this...very simple...kind of elegant...but the same thing for each chapter by proxy...

But now the biggest thing of all and its a great challenge with every book I publish...

It's the cover art...

I can't just google stuff and throw it together...

1) it has to look nice

2) it has to be eye catching

3) it cannot be something with a copyright that arguably belongs to somebody else...

4) it needs to be large enough to fit the cover page...

5) it needs both author names and the title of the book...

6) ISBN!!!

7) I have to make sure none of the words will bleed off the cover...I had that issue with the hardcover of Devil's Grace for a time...

8) most importantly...the cover has to actually hint at the scenery, ideas, themes, etc. of the story



So as you can see, I am very stressed out...I have a lot to do for this book.

In the mean time, that has put a lot of stalling on books. So I am apologizing for those...


  • I Am Woman
  • Red Dragon
  • Dragon's Blood
  • A Boy Named Cy
  • Blood
  • Dragon Girl
  • Ed
  • Jatova
  • Love Me Til You Leave Me



I'm not apologizing for Dorm Haze...that one is on a roll and there is no stopping it. It's basically what I do during my relax time.

You should be getting the next chapter in the next week or something like that...

If you have any questions, comments, worries, concerns, troubles, increments of doubt, necessary quarries, qualms, digital unawareness, kindly/unkindly thoughts, judgments, reviews, inquiries, displacements, or anything else you need to get out of your system....

Please to use the comment box...
