Spell crossed book 1 out, book 2 finished book 3 taking shape

I couldn't find my blog last time I was here. But this time it was easy. Maybe the results of too much time on the computer not seeing the trees for the forest. The paper sword is now officially released in paperback and I love the look of the book. I've already read in one of the reviews here how someone purchased the book because they liked the cover. That's just what I wanted.

I've just sent in the edits round one to my editor at Dundurn. So I am about 2 thirds of the way through book 3 first draft, fielding edits for book 2, and promoting book 1. A good thing about it is that reviewing the earlier texts keeps me attuned to the the details of the story. Book 3 Takes Place 5 years after the other 2 books and it revolves around missing pieces—whether physical pieces that are missing from people's bodies or psychological pieces or magical pieces, pieces of a talisman or peace itself.

also my son Daniel just got married and we had a big wedding party yesterday. So life is full and joyous. I've seen the cover for book 2 and it's going to be just as good-looking as book 1.
