Saying good bye to my wife's cousin and her two kids and husband. We're going to miss them! Now I'm just catching up on emails and GRs :) But I'm off to bed now, catch you on the flip side!

The colors really POP on Fire Country. Ice Country's cover is such a contrast which in reading the sample chapters at the end of Fire Country fits the story. Fire Country and Ice Country seemed to be complete opposites. I really love how they look together. (And will look even better in my hands and up on my shelf together!) hehehhe...

Well thank you for saying that :) I hope it lives up to your expectations ;)


message 472: by Alison (new)

Alison (docgussack) | 7 comments The covers look incredible! I am so behind that I have not even read Fire Country yet! How do you write so quickly and read so much at the same time?? Do you sleep at all? Between you and Cassandra Clare I feel so inadequate. I don't write, but I do have a life and there are so many great books, indy and otherwise to read right now.
Once I finish the one I am reading now (http://www.goodreads.com/book/photo/1...)
I think I will catch up by finishing the Evolution series and then move on to Fire Country and Ice Country...wow, I have a plan! Now if only people would leave me alone...

David Estes (davidestesbooks) | 10717 comments Mod
LOL thank you soo much!! Don't worry, there's always time to catch up and I'm so honored that you even want to read all my books :) Well, it helps that writing is my full time career now (or at least at the moment!), so that gives me the time to really focus on it. And I use the excuse to read A LOT because it's "research" for my job haha! (Don't tell anyone I mostly do it just because I love it!)

Don't worry, I'm slowing down a little bit as once Water & Storm Country is published on June 6th, there will be a 3 month gap before The Earth Dwellers is released :) That'll give everyone time to catch up on both series before the FINAL BOOK! Wooohoo!!

Victoria Zigler (toriz) | 4472 comments David,
Don't you just love being able to spend your time doing what you love? I know I do!

While you're forcing me to wait impatiently for "The Earth Dwellers" to be published, I was planning to use the time to read some of your other books. Not that I need the time really, since I'm lucky enough to get to have most of my time split between reading and writing too, but since I plan to read the Nikki Powergloves series at least, and you're forcing me to wait so long... Well, I have to do something to make the torture easier to deal with, LOL!

Oh my gosh yes! I love being a fulltime writer :) It's a complete dream come true! And that's all because of all of you awesome readers who support me. My books have no meaning without all of you!!


message 484: by Victoria (new)

Victoria Zigler (toriz) | 4472 comments I bet you'd still write them though, even if you couldn't make money from them? You'd just have to work slower because you'd have to have some sort of paying job so you could do important things like eat and buy books to read. ;)

David Estes (davidestesbooks) | 10717 comments Mod
LOL true! Although the funny thing is that I wrote my first 9 books in 18 months while working a fulltime job! But I have to be honest, my focus was more on my writing than the job, and I definitely stretched the limits of my lunch breaks hehe! My boss kept saying I better not leave to become a writer...and then I did, oops!

Since then, I've written 5 books in the 10 months since I went fulltime, so the pace is similar in terms of sheer number, although their were 4 children's books in the first 9, so I'm technically churning out a greater average word count now ;)

Regardless, I love what I do each and every day!

That's really awesome, David! Most people never get to find their dream job! I myself love my job, I just wish it paid more! Preschool teachers get paid next to nothing.

Eek! That sucks because preschool would be TONS of work. Fulfilling but tiring :) Yeah, I used to chase money and early retirement and then I realised I wasn't happy. Now I'm living on a shoestring budget and loving my life :) Funny how that worked out!
