New Book

I know, I am very, very inconsistent with my blog, and I duly apologize to you all. To be fair; not posting here does afford me greater time to write books, one of which is due for a very soon release. The series which began with angel Valence and continued with The Red Legion is receiving it's final installment. It took me a little longer to write than the others, because I had to rejig it completely; the original story centered around a airplane being downed by insurgents and, horrifically, that came quite true in real life. I don't want my work to be a direct commentary on the politics of now, I prefer human nature. An interviewer asked me about the tone of the series thus far, she described it as "pessimistic". I disagree, while the tone is dark and does not portray human nature in a very optimistic light, it is not necessarily pessimistic to show humanity how it is. As events would have it, I hit the nail on the head, unfortunately. Pessimism would be showing human nature for how it is and asserting that it cannot change. I don't do that. If my audience does, then that's unfortunate; we can always change, we can always better ourselves.
