This book is the genesis of a series following Randy Black as he experiences a major transformation. This book picks up on the last page of Sin and Vengeance and takes Randy Black in an entirely new direction.

"People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."

Hi C.J.,It's a pleasure to meet you! Thanks for the invitation. I'll have to add you on MySpace, too!
Your novels sound intriguing.
Thanks for the invite, C.J. It's always good to meet fellow writers.

Hello C.j., we have just become friends. e-friends as I call it. I list some great books on shelfari, I haven't yet repeated them on goodreads. I have just added some of my own books here, mainly travel-photo books about Australia. You can see some of my photos on my website. Cheers - Thomas
Tim,
The books will go to distribution on October 7 and should be available on Amazon on October 15.
I'll give you 2 little tricks for being the first to get books. On Amazon, if you search for the ISBN, you can find books before the engine has them cached. A Demon Awaits is 0-9767788-2-3. (you want to enter it without the dashes).
The second secret is that I have a deal with a bookstore in my hometown. They get the very first signed copies of my books and you can order them there before you can order them anywhere. The store is Bev Loves books (508)763-5503.
CJ
So, if you're expecting the proof tomorrow, I imagine that means you're still on target for the October 15 release date. Or does that mean we can get copies earlier? (Hint hint.)-TimK
