First Draft/Elfblood Sequel

I finished the first draft of the sequel to Elfblood this morning. Now I have to find a title for it. I was going to call it The Silver Catacombs, but that title is no longer going to work and the others I've thought up haven't felt right. Oh well, it'll come to me eventually.

Flight Of Dragons

I finished working on the proof and sent it off to my publisher. All that's left now is the waiting. I have another month or so to go and then Flight of Dragons will be up for sell. I wish it was October already.

Flight Of Dragons

I got the proof sheet for Flight Of Dragons from my publisher today, so I'll be working on giving the novel one last go over for mistakes. I'm eager to jump right in, because this is my final step before publication. I think. I'm pretty sure. But, I know I have to give this a good look over and I tend to want to do things too quick. I hate to think of people waiting for me. I have ten days, which are more than enough, so I'm going to try not to get too excited and blur through the thing.

Author Spotlight

Champagne Books is putting me on their author spotlight at some point in the near future. Which is pretty cool, I think. And my first novel is now on their coming soon page, which was way cool to see. I'm so excited. I can hardly believe that my first book will be out in October. By November I should be able to hold a printed copy of it in my hands. How cool is that?

Elfblood

Elfblood was just accepted for publication! That makes novel number four. (I'm counting the five book series as one book here, technically I have eight under contract.)  If only my luck will hold for Firebrand, that would be awesome. I've always wanted to have a book published by Tor.

Cover Art

Check it out, here is the cover art for my first two novels.

Cover Art

I recently received the cover art for both Flight Of Dragons and Shadow Of The Dragon, so I'm having a good week. The art is beautiful and I'm very pleased. Once I get the okay, I'll post the pics.


Side note: I submitted Firebrand to Tor. Now all I have to do is spend roughly the next six months anxiously awaiting their reply.

Elfblood

My editor liked the changes I made to Elfblood and she sent in on to her boss with a recommendation to accept. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed and watching the email anxiously until I hear word either way.

Firebrand

Firebrand, my newest novel, is finished. A couple of days off schedule, but it happens. I decided I needed one more chapter and so that caused a delay. But it's all finished now. So, I've added a new project to the roster, DragonStar. I'd done some work on this in the past, then set it aside for other projects. I'm eager to have a fresh look at it and see where it takes me.

Current Projects

Firebrand: I'm sixteen chapters into the final draft with three chapters to go, so Firebrand is almost ready for submission. This is my main project and I've managed to write a chapter a day on it, so it should be finished on Friday.
The Silver Catacombs: This is the sequel to Elfblood. I'm five chapters into the first draft of this one. This is a secondary project, so I don't get a chapter a day done on it. But once Firebrand is done this one will move up to become my main project.
F2 (Working Title): This is the sequel to Firebrand. It doesn't have a name yet, but I expect to have one by the time I finish the first draft. That's usually how it works. I'm two chapters into the first draft.
Shadow Prince: This is the sequel to Shadow Born and the second book in my Time Of Shadows Series. I'm one chapter into the first draft.
Web Of Light: This is my newest project, which I started after completing Elfblood. I'm feeling very enthused with this project, though I'm only one chapter into the first draft.
