MONAD 12.21.12 will soon be obsolete. Let's face it. The date already is. But the story is strong without it, and the characters are timeless. Under the guidance of my publisher, we decided to edit Book 1, drop the date from the story, and use the opportunity to polish it up a bit. I listened to my reviewers (thank you!) and took some of their advice, developed a few scenes, and updated my writing style, since now I have a better one. The gears are turning. MONAD The Awakening of Stella Steinar, Book 1 in the Stella Steinar Series, will release in early March, 2013. Then Book 2, Stella Nova, will soon follow. Watch for updates!
