Reading My Own Words

Posted in blog | Tagged almost there, sliver of shadow, too much sugar, writing | 1 Comment

So I got a final ecopy of A Sliver of Shadow today. It’s not for public consumption, mind – I can’t go sending it off to people. But it’s useful to have. For one thing, I can fact check against it as I finish up the last of A Trace of Moonlight. (And by finish, I mean…eh, one chapter to go and then revise like the wind? But still – it’s good to have something definitive I can look back on to make sure certain things were included…or not.) Plus, I put quotes on the back of my trading cards, and I need to find some good ones for the latest set so I can get them all printed up. It’s interesting, though. I don’t usually go back and reread my books. I don’t know if that’s just a mental “I’m done with this story now” or some sort of… Read more

Okay – the next set of trading card designs have been finalized and here they are!

Characters are as follows: Moira, Nobu, Talivar and Brystion (in human form) Artwork created by the fabulous Darchala!… Read more

And here we go! *muppet flail* Hmmm. Apparently I have to add a little more content here or it breaks my blog a bit. Sooo….yay! So here’s a little extra text that means nothing. (But isn’t it pretty??) Next thing to come will be a chapter sample, probably a little closer to release date. 🙂… Read more

Updates and Cover Flats

Posted in blog | Tagged contests, giveaways, shinies, sliver of shadow, updates | 4 Comments

It’s actually been a little while since I’ve had time to make an update post, so here we go. First off, even though the cover to A Sliver of Shadow hasn’t officially been released, I’ve got a little sneak peek here. (And I can start giving them away, so yay!) I’m hoping to get a large copy up here soon, as well as a first chapter excerpt and related information. Only a few more months to go before the release date, so I’m getting very excited about it. All edits have been completed and turned in and I’m just plugging away at the third BoD book (still sans title, but that will come.) Otherwise – there are several contests and giveaways going on in the blogosphere that I’m going to list here (most of which include a copy of A Brush of Darkness as part of the prize(s).

A Sliver of Shadow: First Pass Pages

Posted in blog | Tagged editing, first pass pages, sliver of shadow | 1 Comment

So the first pass pages for A Sliver of Shadow came in yesterday. (I arranged them in a nice pile there for the picture, simply because that’s what my thought process looks like, at the moment. BLARGH) For those of you who might not be aware, FPP are when the publisher sends you a print-out of the book – essentially an unbound galley. It’s typeset so you can see how everything will be laid out in the final printing. (There’s a nice Holy Crap! I’ve written a book! moment in there too…) It’s an author’s last chance to read it and make (small) changes. Typos, continuity mistakes, remove a sentence, add a sentence – but as a whole, the book is officially done. (Although someone needs to look at the layout of page 61 – wow is it ever gorked up. Don’t know if it’s a printer error or setup error,… Read more
