I'm struggling with a little bit of writer's block on Hand of the Black Blade and I am hoping that finishing this short story will help me get my juices going and blast through the block.

Something's Coming
I'm going to keep this post short, but I wanted let my readers know that I have something in works for them. If things go well this holiday season I will have posted a new short story titled Homecoming before the new year. It is another World of Warcraft fan-fic piece.

Holidays and Progress
First I want to say Happy Thanksgiving and I hope your holiday is filled with good food, warm thoughts, and pleasant company. Things will a little different for my family this year at the holidays. Normally we have a big family dinner with lots of relatives, but in September my oldest son was diagnosed with brain cancer so things will be on a smaller scale as exposure to possibly sick people is a real danger for him as he goes through his chemo. On the bright side, he is doing great and handling it well.
Work on AotHB is progressing well, we are about A third of a way through the manuscript. It is definitely shaping up into a more thorough and interesting story. Hand of the Black Blade is coming along slowly, but once I finish the intro chapters I think I will be able to burn out the rest of the story fairly quickly.
I have some ideas for short stories or possibly an ongoing story that I would post chapters as I finished them. Unfortunately, they will remain as just ideas for awhile as the two manuscripts and my son's sickness combined with working full time just doesn't leave me much free time.
Happy Holidays and Happy Reading

A New Beginning
It's official, my old publisher is no more and I will try to get their bogus copies of my book, Ascent of the Holy Blade, out of the marketplace. I would like to thank everyone who bought a copy, either paperback or digital, and I am sorry for the quality of the book. 2 Moon Press talked a lot of talk but they rarely delivered with their product.
On the other side of that leaf, I have found a new publisher in Wynwidyn Press. They put out quality books and have had success with their writers despite being relatively new to the business. I am looking forward to my partnership with them.
My new (or should I say only) editor and I have started reworking AotHB this week and I am already very excited about the new level Drew is helping my book reach. Unfortunately this may slow down the sequel Hand of the Black Blade, but hopefully I can manage to do both.
Also there will be new cover artwork which will pertain more directly to the book-something I am also very excited about.

Quick update
I went through and marked my short stories as such on my post titles. Hopefully it will help people to find them and read them.
I am back to hammering out the sequel to Ascent of the Holy Blade and hope to have it finished midsummer. Although it won't be available for purchase right away until I find a new publisher or e-pubit. Not sure right now which path I will take.
Just a quick IMO. Be very careful if you are an author looking for a self-publisher. There are a lot more crooks out there than there are good ones. More and more scams are being exposed as the shams they are. I researched my publisher, 2 Moon Press, for almost two years before daring to take a chance with them and was scammed almost right off the bat. I came out of it better than some of my fellow 2 Moon authors but not anywhere near what my contract stated.

It Hit the Fan
I just wanted to let everyone know that I am sorry for not getting my new short story posted yet. It is done, but I am still putting it in the computer and polishing it. Sorry it's late but I have been a bit preoccupied with a situation that has developed with my publisher 2 Moon Press. Basically they dropped off the face of the earth scamming several people out of a lot of money.
But I have moved past the initial shock and I am back to working on my writing. The short story titled The Call of Duty should be posted no later than Sunday night. It's a modern take on King Arthur and his knights.
Once again I apologize for the delay; it took me a little bit to get over the sucker punch.

New Author Page
I created an author page on Amazon to help promote my current book and upcoming projects. It also let's people know about new blog posts, tweets, book reviews, and events that I might have coming up. I feel that it will be a good resource for people to check me out and get a feel for what I am about. All in all I am excited about it.
As far as events and signings that I have coming up; I'm not sure about any dates yet. My publisher has talked to the local library and a few other people have expressed an interest in hosting a signing. From my point of view I'm not real enthused about anything as it's been a rough run with 2 Moon Press since I paid them to publish, edit, and promote my book. In all honesty it's left a bad taste in my mouth on the whole thing, but I do have a contract with them and need to fulfill my part of the deal even if they struggle with theirs. I won't go into the details here.
Next Friday I will be posting a short story that will lead into a new series I am working on. It's a urban fantasy with Arthurian flavor. I have always loved the idea of King Arther and his knights and what they stood for so this will be my tribute to them.
