A Dream Come True

     My novel, Ascent of the Holy Blade, has made it to print and is available in paperback from 2 Moon Press and Amazon!  Hopefully it will be available in e-book form soon.


     As a fledgling writer this has been a good learning experience for me.  We had some issues with my manuscript translating into the layout and editing programs because of the word processor program I used so I will be purchasing a new program for my following books.  The second and probably most important thing I learned was edit, edit, and edit again.  Several mistakes have made it into the finished copy and I am very sad at that.  I have proofread that manuscript till my eyes popped out but I and my publisher missed some...some that were pretty obvious.  But I promise if you read my novel you will truly love the story I weave and I swear that the mistakes won't be there in my following novels.

  Happy reading!  I hope you enjoy my tale as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Closer...inch by inch...

I heard from 2 Moon Press last week and they have sent Ascent of the Holy Blade to the printers, so I should be seeing a finished copy of the book in a week or two.  Pretty exciting stuff.  Also the work on the sequel Hand of the Black Blade is coming along at a steady pace.

In the new book we get to meet a new race of monsters that are the by-product of a demon mating with a mortal, the gray orcs. The gray orcs appearance and abilities are determined by their mortal parent. Elven half breeds can wield fel magic, dwarven half breeds are stout and powerful warriors, and human gray orcs are cunning and intelligent while all are blood thirsty and ruthless.

I am really enjoying this new story as it develops. It will be a bit darker than Ascent of the Holy Blade, but also a more personal story on many levels I believe. I hope to be going to print with it a year from now.

When I next post, hopefully it will be to say that Ascent is finished and ready for your reading pleasure.
