Kholvaria Beta-Copies Out + Cassidy Sneak Peak

Beta copies of Kholvaria have been shipped out! This is an exciting time. What that means: we are closer and closer to Kholvaria‘s release date.

Beta reading is the final step before the book can be released, and a very pivotal step at that. Often times errors can go unnoticed on the computer screen. Reading it on paper is a helpful way to catch many last minute issues, particularly issues related to formatting.

For me, that means beta-reading my own book along with the other volunteers I have recruited to assist me. It is a long process, but I look forward to reading through the book like a regular reader would.

As things have been going ahead of schedule lately, I can confidently predict a May or June release date for Kholvaria. I would be astonished if the book comes out any later than that.

In other news, Veznek (book 3 in the Color of Water and Sky series) is now over half-written. Cassidy (the spinoff in the Color of Water and Sky series) is now over two thirds written. Both are still on track for a summer 2018 release.

Things are progressing quickly.

On that note, I can officially show the cover art for next year’s spinoff novel, Cassidy. Unlike the cover art for Iris or Kholvaria, Cassidy will be a wrap-around image. The tone and look of the art is intentionally very different. Take a look below:

Fans of the series may recognize this vessel as the Cassidy X20 experimental submarine, still intact before its encounter with the mysterious orb.

For more information on Cassidy, you’ll just have to wait.
