C.D.’s Comments (group member since Oct 21, 2013)

C.D.’s comments from the C.D.'s Canaries group.

It's early, but I made this too because when I get stuck, I do graphic design to relax.

I shit you not.

Why would you get shit for saying something nice?
What kind of operation are you people running here?

Well hello, Ash.

AS OF NOW - Darren is on the up and up.

Lost the bloody keys again.."

Yeah....where's ERIK?

Oh I wanted to share this....regarding book 6....kind of the kind of character you have to look forward to....

I just have to. It's too good.
But since it's the second to last book, I feel ok about it.

Get out Sue Bee!
Or I'm going to spill everything without spoiler tags!

Sophia wrote: "Jesse Ward is haunting this group!"

Yeah....no.

I wanted to warn you guys about something.....

Book six.....

Worst cliffhanger ever.

I know I promised the cliffs at the ends of sequences wouldn't be that bad. But no matter what I did, this one was brutal. I thought of ending it five minutes earlier. And I still might....but I'm having trouble controlling myself.

So IN ADVANCE - I'm sorry.

Homey.
No.
I'd never do a spoiler, but trust me. Not that. Monica does not have that much forgiveness in her heart.

Thanks - There will be two volumes, I think.

Devin, I can see that Diana needs to set you homework too.

I should tell you, on this note, that I avoid the Canaries threads, because all I want to do is step in and say shit like....

DUDE - (view spoiler)[ Jonathan didn't meet Kevin for the first time at Gabby's funeral. They met at the Eclipse show and was cordial. He only started hating the guy after seeing the piece about Monica. (hide spoiler)]

Please count on end of September. I tend to under promise. I don't want anyone to be disappointed if stuff gets held up. As it is, if I get a cold for three days and can't write, I'm screwed.

Don't worry - Jonathan's going to be hurting so bad by book 7 you're going to want to lay on healing hands.

Sophia wrote: "Do u plan on putting the full series into paperback ?"

Yes. Right now the first three books are available in paperback.

Here's the thing. there are all these little things that have to be done, like linking the current paperbacks to the kindle books on Amazon - uploading to BN for sequence 2 - all this shit is not getting done because I set up a writing/release schedule that is relentless.

Jen wrote: "Where did you get the ideas for the covers? They are amazing!"

The first cover....I can't explain. The stock photo presented itself when I was looking at some random, unrelated keyword. And the verbs in the back was simply the worst idea I thought I had. But a friend told me to keep them.

The hands, it just comes from thinking about what the book means, the tone, the feeling of one character or the other....hard to say. But I look at a LOT of photos of hands. LOL

Devin wrote: "How were we suppose to know she's alive? Will she be making trouble for Monica?"

The fact that sh'es alive was revealed in SOD2 - "Sharon"

Sue BEE! You haven't read them what if there are spoilers?

There will be 7 books. Originally, I thought 8, but the last sequence just cannot be stretched past one book. More books is more money, admittedly, but I'm not going to hurt my reputation by stretching stuff past it's natural limits.

Tony wrote: "Hey CD,
When do we get the lowdown on Thomas."

Thomas - Book 7.
