The Branch Update

Originally posted 11-20-12012

So, I’ve been woefully negligent about updating this blog, but with good reason. I’ve been working hard on edits and revisions. I can now announce, with great pleasure, that the revised and updated version of Falls is now available. In addition to a slew of rewrites and typo corrections, this edition also has approximately 12,000 words of new material. While the main plot remains unchanged, the new material should offer a deeper look into the world of Samuel Branch and the characters that inhabit it. It is currently available for Kindle and in print on Amazon, as well as for the Nook on Barnes & Noble. The Kindle and Nook versions are currently priced at $1.99 to provide readers an affordable introduction to the Branchverse. They can be found at the following links:

In other news, Turns, the second Branch novel, is approaching publication. The beta-readers are hard at work and the last pieces of feedback should reach me soon. Assuming as goes well, I’m looking at a Dec. 7 release date. A few sample chapters will also go live on site prior to the official release.

In deference to the many questions and intense curiosity regarding the Carmichael Smythe character appearing in Falls (and the forthcoming Turns) I am presently working on a short story from the perspective of Carmichael, tentatively titled Smythe. It will offer the readers a glimpse into his head and also serve as a kind of bridge between Falls and Turns. The story isn’t critical to understanding either novel, but should answer a few questions about Carmichael.

For anyone reading this that also got a Kindle version of Falls, please do consider leaving a review on Amazon. Those reviews are pure gold for indie books like Falls. Thanks!
