Changes coming and updates

You may have noticed in the last weeks, there has been a slight change in my content and now I’m going to explain it.

Going forward I plan on posting excerpts from Women of the Bible: A Study and Palace of Twelve Pillars. This is all being done with the intention of launching both books or relaunching as the case may be. WOB was already published in an ebook format, but I for one am convinced that currently a Bible study works better in a book format. I know many people have Kindle’s, Nook’s and whatever other ereaders are out there. I even have one and many people have laptops and i-pads, but there are also many who don’t. By only having my study or any study available as an ebook is leaving a portion of my audience out of the loop and those may be the people I most want to reach. So I am editing the paperback copy and sometime by the end of the year will rerelease it in paperback form. It will be and is still available in ebook format at Amazon, if you are so inclined. I have put a link in the right hand column of this site for your convenience.

Palace of Twelve Pillars: I am deeply into the final edits for this book. Once finished I may publish the ebook on Amazon while I query agents and publishers. If that is a no-no, then would someone in the know let me know. At the very least I will periodically post chapters on this site for short periods of time. And I will certainly keep you abreast of the publisher and agent journey.

So now you may be asking what of the other projects:

Palace of Three Crosses: In the home stretch with my critique group, then begins the next stage of revise and rewrite. Still hoping for an end of the year visit with a copy editor so it can follow Twelve Pillars sometime in 2012.

Sanctuary of Nine Dragons: I won’t be finished writing by June 11, but I am closing in. I’m four years away from the start of Aaron’s Revenge which as you all know is the end of Nine Dragons. Of course my characters are taking unexpected paths again, so who knows where things will end up.

Myrria’s Legacy and Bjorn’s Revenge: Still waiting. I am going to loan the proof copy of Myrria’s Legacy to Ana’s fourth grade teacher to edit over the summer for me. She also will be getting a copy of Aaron’s Revenge because Ana and I love her so much. Hopefully with end of school fast approaching Ana and I will have time do some serious brainstorming before November for Bjorn’s Revenge.

Other projects in the pipeline: A possible devotional book using all the devotions I have posted over the years; more stories of Myrria’s adventures once she gets to earth; then anything that may call my name along the way.

You’ll continue to see book reviews but I don’t think there will too many writing tips because I really feel my focus is heading in another direction, which I will share with you as my focus clears. So until then enjoy the changes and the characters. I’ll see you around.

Happy Writing, Happy Reading, and God Bless,

All for the Glory of God

Updates and Goals: May/June 2011

So I have been a little lax in updating here, or even posting at all. I hope to change that now.

Palace of Twelve Pillars: Still moving along with final edits. Projecting completion of this phase by the beginning of August, and will start pitching at the PNWA Writer’s Conference. I am going to explore the possibility of getting it as an ebook while I shop it with agents and publishers. I’ll let you know what I decide.

Palace of Three Crosses: Still looking for a new title. Almost through the preliminary phase of critique, edit and revision. Hoping to have this phase finished by mid-June. Then I will move to the second phase of rewrites with a goal for October 30 completion. By the end of the year I plan on having it in the hands of a copy editor.

Sanctuary of Nine Dragons: Writing is moving along. I have been handwriting for the most part, so I am not sure of the word count, but the story is moving forward and once in a while I even get in the zone where the story takes over. It has been a struggle because I am juggling all three books in the series and sometimes I lose track of what book something has happened in. In spite of that, the goal is to have the initial writing phase done by mid-June and then it will hit my critique group.

Myrria’s Legacy & Bjorn’s Revenge: Haven’t paid too much attention to either. Myrria is hopefully going to visit a teacher over the summer for some proofing and Bjorn will be brainstormed come October, for a November sprint.

Mechanism of Action: This is the medicine purchase levitra online that works on improving the blood flow near male regenerative area. This is due to the fact that best prices on cialis any form of sensation during intercourse. Austin Chiropractic method of treatment is very important for patients to have a complete levitra 25mg recovery. Epimedium guaranatees that the formula would work its wonders in 45 minutes and can last you viagra free order up to several hours. Women of the Bible: A Study: I am currently and very slowly editing a proof copy from CreateSpace. Once the edits are finished I will probably publish through them.

As if those things were not enough to keep me busy and out of trouble, I am contemplating taking all the devotions I have written for blog posts over the years and compiling them into a book which I will publish through CreateSpace. This is just a thought of mine and won’t happen quickly. You can see, I already have a few projects on my plate as well as continuing to work with the fourth soon to be fifth graders at my daughter’s school. This being a vision I hope to expand on in the upcoming school year. We shall see. Doing lots of praying and hoping that this is God’s plan for me.

One other small detail: I plan on becoming more active in NANO prep this year. I have a half a brain out there with lots of good ideas, who promises to keep me on track if I do the same for her.

Read and Write On and God Bless,
