Lady Warhawk - Zygradon Chronicles #4
Happy Monday!
I hope everyone had a relaxing, wonderful, blessed Easter weekend.
It's hard to believe it's April already. The year is 1/4 of the way over already. Where has the time gone?
(where did my diet and exercise regimen go ...?)
Coming in the middle of this month, the 4th book in my Arthurian fantasy series, the Zygradon Chronicles:
LADY WARHAWK
This book most closely follows the progression of events we all learned from books like T.H. White's The Sword in the Stone and The Once and...

Let the Frenzy Begin!
Okay, you've heard about NaNoWriMo -- National Novel Writing Month.
Script Frenzy is sponsored by the same insane, devious folks -- only this time, you write 100 pages of screenplay during April.
I'm doing it. If I can get another screenplay revised and polished and sent in to a contest by midnight on Wednesday. The deadline is actually April 1, but I want to clear the boards, metaphorically speaking (because I have a LOT of projects I'm working on, all at the same time *sigh*).

EPIC Award Winner!!!
I'm delighted to announce that THE MERUK EPISODES 1-5 WON in the Anthology category of the 2010 EPIC Awards.
The ceremony took place last night in New Orleans, at the final activities of EPICon 2010.
THE MERUK EPISODES 1-5 tie into my Commonwealth Universe novel HOVEN QUEST, about a race of shapeshifters using an adventure series in Tri-V (futuristic television!) to make contact with other shapeshifters living in hiding. Meruk is the name of the character in that adventure series, and THE MERUK...

Snow, Snow, Snow -- No!
Aarrggh!!
Are you as tired of this winter as I am?
For a while there, it seemed like every morning, I got up and looked out the window, and there was MORE of that dratted white stuff drifting down.
Thank You, Lord, I don't have to commute to work anymore. Taking the bus was better than driving -- I could work on my computer or read on the bus, and if I was late I could blame the bus and traffic. But still .... *sigh*
The thing is, do I really have any right to complain? I have a lot to be gratefu...

Today, Desert Breeze Publishing has released my 4th Tabor Heights, Ohio novel.

New Cover art -- Volume 2, coming soon!
Today's new cover art is for "The Meruk Episodes, I-V."
The Meruk Episodes are the episodes of the Tri-V action/adventure show that my characters in "Hoven Quest" produce on an alien planet.

New SUNSINGER cover art
This stuff is so cool. New look, new covers, and continuity.
I'm so stoked over what Laura Shinn and Sandy Cummins over at Writers Exchange are doing with the "look" of my Commonwealth books.
Check out the new cover art for Sunsinger, Book #1 of the Sunsinger series:
Now, just glancing at the covers, you know what universe the book belongs to, and you have a good idea of what period in Commonwealth history the book takes place in.
