Book two of my trilogy, titled "Wrath" is up on Smashwords and Amazon. I am having issues with Createspace because that sadistic web page delights in driving me quite, quite mad. But it should also be available for POD within a week or two at most.

Book three is well underway. So far, so good.

Book two of my trilogy, titled 'Wrath', is in the process of content and structural editing. So far the preliminary feedback is promising. I'm not proud of missing my self-proposed target of publishing it by this summer, but I still hope to get it done by this month.

I revised the cover art and cover blurb for 'Athame', but Goodreads will not allow me to change it. Such is life. I will get around to dealing with it eventually. I really think the new art is an improvement, though.

I would like to put more time in here, doing reviews and talking in groups. But book two is flowing so well right now that I'm afraid to pull back from it. If I shut off the tap now, it might take dynamite to get it started again.

Let me get book two done, or at least in first stage review. Then I can take some time for other things.

The proof copy of Athame has been shipped from CreateSpace. Once I have gone over it with a fine toothed comb, and passed it to everyone I can talk into doing the same, I will be hosting a small giveaway. Actually, a tiny giveaway.

Meanwhile, an excerpt of the CreateSpace version is posted for those who might be interested. It's essentially the same as the original ebook, without the typos.

Just got my first five (5) star review on Amazon for Athame.

Pardon me a moment...

*hysterical spasm of ecstasy*

Sorry. As you were.

Another 4 star review for Athame. This one is up on Smashwords. Read it HERE.

This makes me three reviews so far, all favorable.

All right, it's pitiful. But I'm excited, cut me some slack. This is my first novel. :)

I had the thought that I would put together a list of all the books I have read. Then I would go back through them and start writing reviews. Until I actually got into the job itself and realized what a staggeringly high number of books I have read in my life.

This may need re-thinking.

I hate trying to come up with tags when I publish a new ebook on Smashwords or Amazon. Amazon is especially annoying since it only allows seven words. How is a person supposed to pick out the seven words that best describe their own story?

*sigh*

I thought I had that thing done.

*sigh*

I went over Athame multiple times, and had two other people, college educated professionals, proofread it before I published it.

But such is life. The reviewer is right. I looked last night and found two places where I used its and it should have been it's. Also, for some obscure reason, innkeeper got used as a proper name and capitalized. Among other things.

Oh well. It would be pure hubris not to leave at least a few flaws:) Yeah. that's the excuse I'll use.

From now until April 13, 2013 my book is available free on Smashwords
