As you may have noticed, there has been a big change at the top of the website.
Previously, I just had my name in orange lettering at the top of the page. As you may remember, I have been working with Jaime Ortiz of Trippy Tease Productions to come up with a suitable banner. After throwing around many ideas and alot of painstaking work, Jaime came up with what you now see above as the new banner. I think it’s pretty cool and hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
As of yesterday, I received the 1,000th visitor to my website. This is pretty good, considering the site has only been up and running for alittle over a month. So, as a Thank You, I am posting early another part of the Free Serialized Short Story, ‘Jacob’s Mind.’ It can be found to your right under the appropriate page.
Also, you will find a new page to your right, named, Contests/Giveaways. Check it out to learn how you could score a free signed-copy of the manuscript used for my upcoming novel, Night School.
Yesterday, I received from the publisher the final page proofs for my upcoming novel, Night School. Since that time, I have reviewed and given my sign-off on the text. Now, it will officially enter the cover design stage of publication. Again, let’s just hope they use the artwork that I sent in.
At this point, I expect to hear from the cover design department within the next week or two and then the book will be sent to the printer. I will also have a better idea at that time of the official release date and will share it with you then.
It’s getting closer, people…
As a reminder, you can read the back cover text and an excerpt from Night School to your right under Freebies.
I noted back on 10/16, that I sent a short story called, ‘The Ringmaster’ for possible publication in a magazine’s October, Monster Issue.
The bad news, is that they didn’t have an October issue. The good news is that they are having a November issue and my short story will appear at that time.
It will appear in the November 2008 (Vol. 3, No. 6) edition of Orion’s Child Magazine. Once it has been made available, I will provide the link so that you can read it.
