Coming Soon and Writing Again
6/15/19
In case you missed it from my last post, Ground of Resurrection has a release date. It comes out on July 17th. I admit, I didn’t expect it to come out until August or even September, but I can’t complain. I spoke with LT3 about the date being so close and they explained that it was decided the story didn’t need a second round of edits. It’s with the copy editor right now instead, which means I should be seeing those pop up in my inbox any day now. It also m...

Great News!
6/1/19
Ge-Mi: Part Two was accepted for publishing with LT3! I’m so excited! Right now I need to get the contract in the mail so everything is signed and official. I expect this book to come out in approximately ten months, so first quarter 2020. Aside from signing the contract, my first step is providing LT3 with a description of what I want on the cover. Readers either loved or hated the cover for Part One–there was no in between–and I think I’ll get similar rea...

Reprints and Other Fun
5/28/19
According to my records, The Oracle’s Golem should be going out of print on May 31. What does that mean? Luckily, absolutely nothing. LT3 has already agreed to renew the contracts for the previous two books in the series and I have not seen any indication that it will be different for Golem. Since we’re not editing or changing the covers for this series, there shouldn’t be an interruption in sales. I’ll let you know as soon as LT3 and I have a conversation...

The Coup and the Prince by Mell Eight will only be the special preorder price of $2.54 until 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time tonight May 21, 2019!
The coup should have been simple: oust the tyrannical regents and restore the rightful heir to the throne.
No one expected the rightful heir to be dead, or for his younger brother to be missing. But as vital as it is they find the missing prince, it’s more important they start...

Coming Soon
5/18/19
The Coup and the Prince comes out next week! Right now LT3’s having a big sale in honor of Sam’s birthday, so you can get it for a big discount. Otherwise, it will be available on Amazon and all other retailers very soon. You can always check it out on Goodreads until then. This book has been an adventure to write and to edit, and I do think it eventually turned out really well. I’m excited for everyone to read it! May 22nd can’t come quick enough.
I have...

What’s Next
4/28/19
Those of you that follow me on Twitter already know that I successfully submitted Ge-Mi: Part Two to LT3. For everyone else, Ge-Mi: Part Two was officially submitted to LT3! I got confirmation that they received it, so now it’s just a waiting game. LT3’s website says it’s a 6 to 8 week waiting period while they evaluate the manuscript. If they accept it, I should be signing the contract sometime in June and the book should be released anywhere from 9 to 12 months...

Working Hard
4/26/19
Wounded Alpha was accepted for publication at LT3! This means the areas I fixed when the story was rejected the first time worked. This story was a ton of fun to write, so I’m incredibly excited to have it accepted this time. I’m expecting to see the first round of edits for this story in approximately six months, so start looking for publication announcements for sometime fourth quarter 2019 to first quarter 2020.
I have returned the first round of edits for Ground of...

Editing Update
4/14/19
I slept ten hours last night and I woke up feeling pretty good, so I’m going to do my best to buckle down on the edits for Ground of Resurrection. I have a lot still to do for that and they’re due next week. Next week is also the start of Passover and I’m going to be incredibly busy. Today is my last full day to really get these done and I’m going to do my best.
If I make a lot of progress with Resurrection, I’m hoping to start on Ge-Mi: Part Two today...
