Many things this month (sticking to monthly posts until this peace-keeping mission is over):
– Writing Updates
– Guest Blogger
– Blood Kiss
Writing:
Secret project Bards the First (aka Roaming Cadenza) is about done; just waiting on post-production.
Since I’ve finished all major work on it, figure it’s time to share.
When I first published Roaming Cadenza there were some issues with the manuscript.
The short version is that the final editor/proof reader and I had some significant disagreements, and I ended up doing the entire thing on my own.
Terrible decision on my part for a first novel; it resulted in the final product being much lower quality than anyone taking the time to read it deserves.
If I had realized how unqualified I was to do a full revision at the time, I wouldn’t have released Roaming Cadenza like I did.
Having said that, I owe my readers an apology. I’m sorry I released it in such a poor condition.
To make amends, I’ve been working closely (and tirelessly) with a couple editors and proof readers to revise and clean up the entire first manuscript, which I’ll be releasing for free over the next two weeks.
I expect the epub/general ebook version to be available by the end of the week, with the mobi/Kindle version available early next week.
EDIT: Both versions are now available here.
Following that, Dustland Requiem’s tentative release date is 25 June, pending any major issues.
And chapter four of Emarosa is posted.
Guest Blogger:
Later this month, I’ll be hosting Dianne Harman as a guest blogger.
She’ll be sharing a bit about her writing, providing a fresh perspective.
Blood Kiss:
Okay, so this is wicked exciting.
Amber Benson and Neil Gaiman have both signed on to act in a kickstarter indie film entitled “Blood Kiss” by Michael Reeves.
Normally I’m not a big fan of the vampire genre–I feel like it has beaten the horse to death, sired it, killed it again, infected it with the t-virus, and then destroyed civilizations before finally dying out for good…hopefully.
However, this particular film seems to have a lot of fresh blood (feel free to flog me for that) and again: Amber Benson and Neil Gaiman.
