Update on my horror novel, 'Devil Dragon'
In 2015, on the basis of the first 19,000 words and a detailed chapter outline, Cohesion Press offered me a contract. ‘Devil Dragon’ was scheduled for a November 2016 release.
However, while I was busy writing, Cohesion Press was busy re-branding. When I submitted the completed manuscript, the publisher decided they wanted a different story to the one that I had outlined. Regretfully, I had to withdraw ‘Devil Dragon’.
For now, I will shelve the project. I wish Cohesion Press all the best with their current and upcoming Creature Feature novels.
