It’s amazing how quickly time can slip away. First, the professional:\"deadman'sfugue\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yes, that’s the cover for\u00a0Dead Man’s Fugue<\/em>, the final title for the project I wrote under the working title\u00a0Dead Man Walking<\/em>. I know, I’m so creative when it comes to titles, aren’t I?<\/p>\n

I finally finished my edits of\u00a0Dead Man’s Fugue<\/em> today, and now my mentor is in the process of editing it. (He’s been at it longer than just today.) As soon as he’s finished, either Friday or Saturday, I’ll make a final read-through to ensure everything sounds good to my ear, and it’s on to publication.<\/p>\n

My aim for quite some time has been to have the book available the first week in September. Depending on timing, it may be pushed back a week or two, but I’m trying hard to stay on target with this.<\/p>\n

A month ago, I would have called my deadline easy to meet. Unfortunately, between then and now, I had my appendix removed, which screwed me up for several weeks and set me far back on the project. So I’m in a bit of a rush mode right now, but pushing myself harder, even if I miss my preferred deadline, always ensures a more timely completion.<\/p>\n

Dead Man’s Fugue<\/em> will be available as both ebook and paperback. Pricing isn’t available yet, but the book will be available primarily on Amazon (as well as Barnes & Noble and Kobo).<\/p>\n

So what else is on the agenda?<\/p>\n

I don’t often touch on the personal here, but my wife and I are expecting in December. As such, I have a\u00a0lot<\/em> of handyman work to do around here–the biggest being an expansion to finish, but also a nursery to build. A big stack of the material I needed for the expansion actually arrived the week before I found myself in the ER. Recovery has been slow, but I’m finally reaching a point physically where I can get to work.<\/p>\n

I’m also outlining the sequel to\u00a0Dead Man’s Fugue<\/em>. Given my tendency to change titles, don’t count on this one sticking:\u00a0Skiptracer’s Contract<\/em>. Rake will be back!<\/p>\n

Also on my agenda is the release of\u00a0Destiny’s Heir<\/em>. Yes, it’s going to be coming out–as an ebook and paperback. I’m intending on a first-week-of-December release (along with\u00a0Skiptracer’s Contract<\/em>), to coincide with both Christmas and the release of the next Hobbit movie.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There’s plenty to be excited for before the year ends!<\/div>\n
