More Reviews Are Coming In
In THE UNDERGROUND, the alien doesn't speak English very well, and her favorite word is "fook." So my favorite line from one of THE UNDERGROUND's reviewers is: "It's a fookin' good book." Bookreview.com.
Gotta love it.

Cover Story
Contacted my designer for a new cover for The Underground. Actually, it'll be a lot like the old cover, except better rendered. Jeez, that old cover is horrible! I just couldn't make those people understand what I wanted. Hmm...kind of like the first cover for The Moreva of Astoreth.
So I sent the manuscript for the revised The Underground to the editor. We'll see what she thinks of it. It shouldn't require too much editing, but the key word here is shouldn't. Everyone has their own style. Meanwhile, I'm going to leave it alone. I mean, really. I've some ideas for a couple more chapters, but I'll write them separately, rather than dropping them into the existing MS. I think we really need some closure for Isadore Drummond, the morran elf. He's got two chapters, so in the third, he either dies, or finds another child needing rescue from the riots. I don't know--have to think about it. I mean, I hate killing off characters, especially since I consider them my friends. But if they have to go, then they have to go.
I also finished all my materials for the The Moreva of Astoreth blog tour. It's running from September 7th through the 26th. Wow--six guest posts! Plus a top 10, plus interviews. I looked at the blog hosts, and found something rather funny. Deal Sharing Aunt is on the tour, and she's going to do a review. She's already done one, for the last blog tour. Gave me three stars because there were "words she didn't know." I wanted to ask "what word was that--the?" But that would've been rude. Anyway, I guess she's forgotten she's already read the book.
My new author website is up and running, though it needs some tweaking. But it's up, and that's what's important
Catch ya later 'gators!
