Working, Working, Working. . .

I've been quite busy designing a website for my books. It'll be a few weeks before that site actually goes live. I have to say that it certainly takes time away from writing but when you live on a budget, sometimes you just have to roll up your sleeves and do it yourself. You either pay with money or you pay with your time. There are no ways to get around this.

But I have done at least some work on book 5 in the series. In fact, I've finished the outline for the book and I plan to start writing the first draft this coming Sunday. The title for the next book will  be The Mountain King. As always you will be able to go to Scribd and download free sample chapters of the work in progress.

The Mountain King is gonna rock!

Books I'm Reading and Enjoying

As always, I've been reading books and I enjoy sharing them with those that read the blog. This is what I've read and loved so far:

Guardian Cats and the Lost Books of Alexandria by Rahma Krambo, a fantasy story about special cats who guard special magical books and what happens when an evil man tries to get a hold of the most powerful book in the world. it's a wonderful story for both kids and adults!

Devils's Lair by David Wisehart, if you like Ellis Peters's Brother Cadfael series you'll enjoy this. An erudite read of a monk, a poet and a girl who travel with a wounded Templar knight to, well read the synopsis here as I'm not finished but it's an excellent book.

The Last King's Amulet by Chris Northern is a great fantasy novel about a down-on-his-luck, lazy nobleman named Sumto who finds that he has to join the army in order to better his fortunes and regain his family honor and respect but finds that doing so is not nearly so easy as he first thought. Not a children';s book but definitely compelling reading for adults who love fantasy!




of course, there's also Gargantua and Pantagruel by Rabelais a fne and fun read as well but a little difficult unless you enjoy reading Shakespeare!

I'm still going through Gargantua and Pantagruel and Devil's Lair but I am enjoying both books, especially Devil's Lair.

Happy reading!   :o)

Artwork For The Lady Moons!

Here is the new book cover for The Lady Moons, done by Claudia McKinney of Phatpuppy Art! Lovely! I'll be hiring this artist to finish out the rest of the series as well.

Sample chapters should be up and posted over at my Scribd page for download later this week! But for now, enjoy the beautiful book cover art!

The Lady Moons will be released Febraury 26th.
