So there was a short list of like four things which needed to be improved to the covers of Lazarus and Covenant before they went to press.  People who own the original Lazarus, hold on to them because they are going to be collector’s items.

Neil (my cover designer) and I made some decisions about the font we’d be using and we discontinued the use of the original Old Gold Soul logo.

The Epiphany cover is  still in the works.

All in all, if the cover review process keeps going this well, Lazarus and Covenant will be available to the public in less than two weeks.  Again, I can’t pinpoint a date — just stay tuned.

Yesterday wasn’t a terrible day at work, but it wasn’t my most productive, either.  I just had somewhat of an epiphany (see what I did there?) that I would really rather just be writing novels.  This is not exactly a new realization, but I don’t think I’ve internalized that before as much as I do now.  So I am officially on my grind like never before.

If you’ve happened upon this page for the first time, please know that this right here is my official facebook page.   I really want people to “like” that instead of trying to friend my personal page.  I prefer facebook to twitter, however I’ve got an account there, too.  Please spread the word.

Well, I’m already late for work and I’ve got to show my apartment this evening to some potential roommates.  You all be good.  And if you can’t be good, just be yourselves.  (With thanks to Jonathan White.)

I had a very fitful rest last night.  I kept waking up, tossing and turning.

I dreamed that I was at a very small Best Buy.  Freddy Kruger was there (!) and I wasn’t afraid of him.  It was sorta like “Oh, Freddy.  You’re a has-been.  Go away.”

As I was leaving the Best Buy, which was adjacent to a hotel lobby, I ran into my friend Sharnell who was on her way to an Omega function with a bunch of other people.  She was wearing what seemed to be an Omega sweetheart tiki.  I gave her a hard time about it, but then let her pass.  Hell, clearly I was just jealous.  lol

I had a bad weekend because I was sick and because I found out my roommate would be leaving.  Today.  At 5pm.  So now I have to find somebody.  This is not what I needed in the final days of preparation for these novels dropping.

But the good news is I feel a lot less sick.  I think I “broke” whatever cold I had yesterday when I slept the day away.

I’m making a point to blog every day now, btw.  If I’m going to take over the world again, it starts here.

I don’t want to work a traditional full-time job anymore, although I really, really like the one I have and do a good job at it.  I just think ultimately, who I was born to be is a novelist.

Not much else to say about it.

Happy Sunday!

I’ve been sick for the past week with what I presume is a cold.  I am very, very tired and have a bit of a cough.  The sore throat is not nearly as bad as it was.

I’ve been working hard to complete the typesetting for Lazarus, Covenant, and Epiphany this week.  So far, so good.

People keep asking me when they will be available.  I literally cannot tell you the exact date.  The new way that I publish is through CreateSpace, a company owned by Amazon.  I can give a rough date of November 20, but it quote honestly could be earlier than that depending on how efficiently the typesetting and review process go, or later than that.

So rather than asking, just keep your eyes and ears open.  🙂

Bear with me as I get back into the habit of blogging more regularly.  I’ve mentioned that I am not a fan of my current website design, but I’m stuck with it until I can get the money together for an overhaul.

Finally, thank you all for the support over the years.  It takes a special kind of fan to support a self-published author whose work is four years overdue!

PS — For the people at StoryCasting.com – it’s really me.  🙂
