Though I do not usually think of myself in the third person, it is nevertheless hard to believe that over 70,000 Tim Greaton novels have been downloaded in just the last few months. For those of you who have been among the purchasers, reviewers and general fans, please know that I could not be more humbled or grateful.
To say these months have been a whirlwind would be a gross understatement, but I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. 2012 looks to be another busy year and a fabulous challenge. Not including short stories and collaborations, I have at least half a dozen projects in the works, and requests for a more brewing. Here's what you can expect in the very near future…
"Binge Eating, The Nightmare" (working title which will be changed) was a 7000-word terrifying story that has since grown into a 16,000-word novella. I'm in the final stretch of the second draft and hope to have it out to beta readers in just a few days.
"Red Gloves," the second book in my Santa Conspiracy is now in fifth draft and has been through three beta reading sessions. My sole goal with this book was to do an even better job with the mysterious and emotional Santa Conspiracy series. Fortunately, the beta readers were able to point out areas which needed improvement…but that also meant delaying the release by over a month. I'm pleased to say the "corrections" are going well, and as soon as "Binge Eating…" is off to beta readers, I'll be able to complete the final corrections which have already been detailed.
"Zachary Pill, The Dragon at Station End," will soon undergo a repackaging that will break the first book into three parts. Future buyers will be able to purchase the individual sections or the extra-sized original novel. Hardback and paperback releases will be coming out shortly, as well. It's likely I will tackle the next book in the series in very late spring/summer.
"Under-Heaven," is undergoing the final print edits now and will soon be available in paperback. Don't forget to see the official trailer here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z05VBzfDNxg"Heroes With Fangs," has been on my drawing boards for nearly a year now. It's an elementary school story based on my "Zachary Pill, The Dragon at Station End" series. It should see release within the next few months.
"Vampire Way," is a paranormal romance novel based in the fictional town of Groacherville, Maine. My outline is already over one hundred pages, and what I can say is that you DO NOT want to be bitten by one of these dark creatures. The virus of "Vampire Way" kills every vampire within five years, so the leaders must brutally murder older vampires to ensure they don't reveal themselves to humans, whose scientists are their only hope for a cure. Imagine being a beautiful teenage girl dragged into such a doomed and tragic circumstance. You don't have to, because I already did. Expect a Spring/Summer release.
I have many other exciting projects on the way, but they will have to wait their turn.Once again, thank you for making 2011 such a spectacular year. This writer couldn't exist without you.
