–PUBLISHED–

Today I pulled the trigger on my first book, THE BLOOD OF NERYS (synopsis at end of post). At the time of this posting, it is currently processing and not available for sale. It should hit most major online retailers within the next 3 days, and takes a little longer for Barnes & Noble.

The results are revolutionary, with effects ranging anywhere from minor empathy to complete mind control. But as it becomes clear just how powerful and dangerous MA3 is, Louise disappears, taking the serum and all of her notes with her.

Keep yer mitts warm

In today’s vid I talk about finishing reading Malevolence, the status of my Achillea readthrough and publishing readiness, as well as the popularity of my Wiselike page, shopping for houses, talking to English classes about writing, and where to get some sweet gloves for keeping your fingers warm when you’re writing (linked below).

decision on how it will be published has also been made.
