Well It's been a while, far longer than I expected, but the Goblin Forest is now with a professional editor for the next step. At 61,000 words, it a good size for young teens /adults. I am hopeful that it will be ready for submissions in April. My plan is to produce a few self-published author only versions to send out to reviewers before I start the submission process with publishing houses.
Thanks all, Mark.

In a faraway land an ancient forest holds a dark secret.
A secret that if awoken will unleash a terrible foe.
And awoken it has.
They are coming.

In their way stand two men.
One tormented by two children he could not save.
The other by two he must not lose.
Their only hope lay in the power of those who watch.

Only together can they defeat an unspeakable enemy.

And they only have four days to do it.
The clock is ticking …
