I’m very pleased to announce that I will be bringing The Frozen
Globe to life this year, which will be the second book in The Canticle
Chronicles. Here’s a sneak peek at the
cover:

Writing Tip of the Week:
No matter what you do, don’t think that you can revise everything
yourself. The human mind is a strange
thing, and sometimes it glosses over mistakes. Having another set of eyes on
your writing will help you catch those crazy mistakes.
For example, my wife was reading through one of my manuscripts and came across a hilarious typo. Instead of saying, “He took off his hat and set it aside,” it read “He took off his head and set it aside.”
This wasn’t supposed to be one of my science fiction or fantasy stories.
Writing Update:
I’ve crossed the 20,000 word mark on “Wandaful”, and it’s going
wonderful. I’ve been working on getting “Prometheus Returns” where it needs to
be to send out and continue to send out queries for “Starspire”. I got a nice rejection letter from an agent
this week who said that the manuscript had strong writing and a great concept,
but that she wasn’t taking on anything else right now. She thought that it
would find a home elsewhere.
“Canticle of Night” has reached over the halfway point and has
been really fun. Please take a moment to
