Title Changes and Fourth Book Cover
First off, I've decided to change the titles of books three and four to Feros and the Underworld Prince, and Feros's Haunting Melody respectively.
Second, here is the prototype cover for the fourth book:
For those of you still waiting for news on the release of the third book, I still don't have a definitive answer yet, but it will most likely be released during August at the latest.

That Which is Unexpected Just Reached 700 Downloads!
Thanks to everyone who has downloaded the book and enjoyed reading it! I'd appreciate it if you could leave a review on Amazon!
Mania and the Executioner has sold a total of 16 books in the two weeks it has been out, which is about five times as many as I was expecting so I'm pretty happy about that!
In other news, I finished writing the fourth book last night. The only problem is that I'm not happy with the length (only 77,500 words, or 310 pages) and I can't help but feel like I'm forgetting something. I'm going back through the book for rough editing and hopefully that will jog my memory of what I have forgotten.
In other words, expect the fourth book to be a bit longer by the time it is actually released.
I'm also working on the cover for Book 4. I'll upload a demo when I have one.
I keep word counts up to date on my 'Books' page so check it out if you're interested. If you want to know how many pages a word count is, just divide the count by 250 and that will give you an estimate of how many print pages it would be.
I added a new page a few days ago called Author Pages, which is just a list of links to my author pages on Amazon, Smashwords, Goodreads, and Twitter.

Back to Writing!
Done with editing for now and back to writing! I finished another 4000 words of the fourth book today, bringing the total word count to 47,000. Hoping to have this one done before June, but we'll just have to see how things turn out. Also considering changing the titles of books three and four; would consider changing the second book's title, but it would be to much of a pain.

Amazon Update
That Which is Unexpected
and
Mania and the Executioner
are now available on Amazon!
However, That Which is Unexpected has not been price matched to free just yet and I have no idea when they'll get around to that. If you haven't read it yet, links to other distributors are under the "Books" tab. You can download a mobi copy from Smashwords for free and transfer it over to your Kindle if you don't want to wait for Amazon.

Mania and the Executioner is now on Smashwords!
Mania and the Executioner was just published on Smashwords. It's pending review for the Premium Catalog to be shipped out to Apple, Sony, B&N, and Kobo so it should be shipped out to those retailers within a week or so.
Amazon just received both That Which is Unexpected and Mania and the Executioner, but I have no clue when they'll go online.
Now that Mania is finally released, time to start polishing Psychosis and the Executioner!

I'll probably post on Twitter more regularly than Facebook.
Just for the hell of it, here's my Smashwords profile too.
Doing final edits on Mania and the Executioner. Should be ready for release in about a week or so.
Book 4 is at 40,000 words and has a possible title of Phantasmata and the Executioner.

Finally finished with the first draft of book 3, having spent twice as long on this book as the other two combined.
The title that I'm currently using is Psychosis and the Executioner but that may change.
