Jason T. Graves, Q & A discussion

The word count for Morning Stars continues to fluctuate as I write new passages and edit older ones, but at this moment it stands at:

82,039

An earlier version is out for critique at the moment and I think (hope, pray) that the full version will be ready to be sent to the editor next week.

Hi Jason, when is morning star due out? I've got the cover ready on my blog to to a reveal? Did you see you review on my blog I hope you liked it.

Hi, Purpinkrose!

Yes, I saw your blog and it looks great! Thanks for putting your review of Blood Roses on there :)

Morning Stars will be released this summer, but I can't be any more definite than that (view spoiler)[as there is a publisher interested in the manuscript (hide spoiler)]. Regardless, the cover reveal can happen at any time, and you all who sent requests will receive an eARC approximately 4-6 weeks prior to publication to help boost the buzz (and taunt people who didn't get one--haha!). I will provide you with the most recent cover/back cover blurb in the next few days, okay?

Thanks for your interest and enthusiasm!

Oh... 85,225

And a completely random snippet from Morning Stars:

“Oh, look at this! Forest green and plum are the big color combo for this fall,” Cassie said.
“Been winter for three days, Cas. Time to change your palette,” Marissa said.
Cassie looked askance at Marissa’s black-on-black tee shirt and trousers outfit. “Thanks for the fashion advice.”
Marissa shrugged and wandered away.
“Why is your sister such a drag? I swear I’d shoot myself if I had to live with her. Oh, look at this dress! Isn’t it fapulous?” Cassie asked.
“She’s going through a lot,” Madeline replied. “I try not to judge her behavior most of the time.”
“Still. Partykiller, I swear!” Cassie said and put two fingers, like a gun, to the side of her head. “Little sibs are a pain. I want to kill my little brother like half the time.”
Cassie pushed through a selection of blouses in a shade of purple that Madeline assumed was plum. Madeline found it a horrible color; it looked like a fresh bruise. She would have picked that color to paint a tortured sky, if she still had the time to paint.
