I realized I've been mostly absent from DA recently.

Yeah, I found out DA does major damage points to my writing time. :nuu:

So, I have a backlog of messages and projects. (Sorry!)

On the bright side, I have been making good progress on Gunnar's Guns.

I'll try to whittle away at my DA things, but if I behave myself, it'll be slow progress. It feels SO good to be back in a good writing groove! :woohoo:

Gunnar's Guns (Part One) now has an AWESOME COVER by none other than Steve Goad :iconstevegoad:. So, check it out, and check him out!

Also, GunnarsGuns.com is up and running!



My quirky novelette Playing with Fire, Episode 1 of the Gene Hax: Brass Lamp Series, now has BEAUTIFUL NEW COVER ART thanks to :iconavionetca:. For those unfamiliar with Gene Hax universe, here's a idea of what's going on:

The ecosystem of Earth has been thrown into total, utter madness, which scientists and governments alike battle to keep in check. The average citizen lives with the constant knowledge that at any moment, they might die in summer blizzards, flash-plagues, or nanite-induced structural failures. Some live in terror. Some live in apathy. Some don't live at all.

But for people like gene-e (genetic engineer) Eris Kandake—owner of Brass Lamp Industries—the threat of getting scorched by a pet dragon or bitten by a bloodsucking butterfly is nothing more than an average day.

In fact, it's a business.


The newly packaged version with the snazzy cover is available on the Gene Hax website for $0.99. You get the ePub, Mobi (Kindle), and PDF versions all in one bundle.

It is also available on Amazon for $2.99 in the Kindle format only.

3.) Look for typos. Yep, even though I go over these things with a few-tooth editor comb about a dozen times each, sometimes things still elude me. If you find one, be kind enough to let me know.

A break is as good as a change, eh? I know what you mean, I have been having some time away from DA myself, and found it very productive! Glad to hear the novel is going well, hope you can soon reap the rewards :D
