Cover Reveal! — Glitch: Whispers in the Code
Guess what!
Today is the reveal for the cover of Glitch: Whispers in the Code!
*Squee!*
There’s several things that coincide with its release (new newsletter specifically for the Distant Horizon universe, updating the cover for Distant Horizon, and the new website for the Distant Horizon universe), so I’m trying to get everything organized. We’ve finished the read-aloud for Whispers in the Code, so all that’s left is formatting. Yay!
In the meantime, I’m proud to present the cover for the fir...

New Cover For Distant Horizon!
I’ve mentioned in the past status reports that Isaac and I have been planning to change the cover for Distant Horizon, and now it’s finalized. Isaac and I haven’t switched the book cover in stores yet, and I’m not sure when the paperback version is going to change, but you can expect to see the updated cover on the ebooks sometime in the next few weeks.
Without further ado…
Here it is!
As much as Isaac and I love the old cover, we’re hoping the new one will attract more readers from the genr...

Infinitas Publishing Status Report – December 2017
It’s that time again! I think November might have been the more productive month for me, but I had anticipated that this month would be a little slower with the holidays coming up. Still, some progress and future plans have been made.

Infinitas Publishing Status Report – November 2017
All right, this time I’m actually going to get the status report done early in the month…
Does mid-month count?
Anyway, October was busy, and the beginning of November was even busier, so I’ve got a lot to cover. Either way, it’s that time again–time for a status report!

Behind the Scenes – Hunter of Mysteries
A cover for Melange Books. For this cover, we wanted the cover to resemble the other books in the series, Night of the Hunter, Demon Hunter, and Hunter in the Darkness. Ultimately, I played with having a brighter background lighting (the sunset) in this one compared to the storm-based backgrounds of the previous colors. We kept the lighting on the model fairly consistent with the others. Also, I had to change the position of the ruins to have it better fit the positioning of the model. Per u...

Thoughts on Writing – Writing a Rough Draft, One Character at a Time
I recently finished the main draft for book three of The Wishing Blade series (the main draft, in this case, being a little bit more polished than a rough draft, but not quite ready for beta-readers). The process I took for writing this one was a bit different than some of my other books, so I thought I would take a moment to discuss the process.
Normally, when I write, I write semi-chronologically… for the whole plot. I may skip around at times to write scenes that I feel particularly enthu...
