Lots going on Jan 10, 2014

Well, the copy edits of Vicky Peterwald – Target were sent back to NY on Monday. They’re on schedule for the June 28 pub date. I got a draft of the cover for Kris Longknife – Tenacious 10/14. It looks lovely but it’s just a draft because there’s a typo on it. (Right, a typo on the cover. It will be corrected.)

I got a request from Audible to provide the cover for Kris Longknife’s Bloodhound. They’ve got all three of the novellas under contract and will have them out soon.

I’ve asked Ace to get me a copy of Vicky Peterwald’s finalized cover in jpeg and hope to post it soon.

Those of you in the UK and former colonies who have noticed that First Casualty is not available as an e-book, thanks for raising it. I’ve passed it along to Ace and hope to have that straightened out by next week.

I also did a third draft of Fire in the Darkness and sent it off to be edited by my second reader. Since it’s not yet under contract, I’m not sure if it will be a 15 or 16 book. The more orders for To Do or Die the more likely Ace will want it for 15. I’m just saying.

So, for a supposedly quiet week, this had plenty going in it. I was scheduled to write at the coast next week, but my wife has had a bad attack of gout over the holidays and bruised herself rather badly when she fell. I’ll be staying home this month. With luck, I can get Vicky Peterwald – Assassin, the novella for May or June into a rough draft.

Enjoy!
