Chasing Salvation available for free!

Chasing Salvation will be available for free this weekend on Amazon.com. Feel free to download, and if you enjoy, post a review or "like" the book. Thanks!

Another day...

Another title change. Here's the vicious cycle of renames I seem to be stuck in for this story:

The Coming Darkness
Wartorn
Bonds Unbreakable

And now...

The Darkest Dawn

Will it last? Anybody's guess.

Magestorm: The Embracing

The second book is cruising along. On chapter 6 now. At this point I'm just letting it lead me, knowing a few key plot points, but that's about it. This is always the best part, because it's reading a new book while I'm writing it, with no idea what all will happen.

Wartorn now Bonds Unbreakable

I changed the name again. Once it was "The Coming Darkness", but I liked that title for one part instead of the entire thing.

So then it became "Wartorn", which worked as a temporary title, but I never really cared for it. If this was a book more about war than it was about the sisters, that would be fine. But it's not.

Finally, I think I like Bonds Unbreakable. I'll give it a week to see if it wears off. I'm not planning on changing it again, and I'm about to start work on the cover.

Magestorm: The Awakening

The first book is done, ready for review. I'm also on chapter 3 of the second book. I've got it kinda mapped out, and looking to do 5 books for this overall storyline. Then I also have an idea to continue things, but in a little different way. I'm not for sure if I'll do that or not, depends on how things wind up.

Anyway, I will post the first few chapters of Magestorm: The Awakening this week.

I'm baaaaaack!

I have returned from vacation, so back to writing. Didn't get anything done while I was gone. Oh well.

I've put Wartorn back up. Still searching for a title I'm satisfied with.

Also, I worked more on the second Magestorm book today. I know, I should be editing the first one, but sometimes I can't get into it, and writing can come so much easier.

Vacation

And now it is time for my vacation. I didn't finish the editing of Magestorm yet, but I am taking it with me. Hopefully it will be close to done when I return in two weeks.

In the meantime, I don't know how much I'll be posting on here for that two week span, but if I can, I will. Anyway, have a good Thanksgiving to whoever is reading this! :)

Magestorm - 2nd Draft

About 60% through the second draft, then I'll solicit outside reviews. I'm hoping to finish this draft before I go on vacation for Thanksgiving. Not sure I'll have any time to work on it when I'm gone. I'll need to do two chapters a day, and three each day over the weekend to complete by then. If only someone would pay me to do this full time! LOL

The long and winding road

The second draft continues for Magestorm. This is probably the slowest and dullest part of the whole process. It's not as bad if I figure out entire new scenes or chapters to add, but simply editing can be a chore. I'm almost halfway through though.

Ok, now I'm done

Magestorm is done, first draft anyway. Ended up being almost 50 chapters. I'm working on the second draft now, and also tinkering with the 3rd Sinners and Saviors book.

Ok, I lied

Magestorm is not done, as it has taken on a life of it's own. I've continued from where I thought I was done, and am almost at chapter 40 now. Eventually I will really be done, lol.

I may post a preview here soon. Keep your eyes peeled!

(When I do, Chasing Salvation will be removed. Read it while you can.)

Magestorm...

Is done, at least the first draft. I'm working on the second draft now. With luck it might be done this weekend. If not, I have a couple days off of work next week, I should definitely be able to finish it then.

Not bad, about 3 weeks to write the first draft. I think that's a record for me!

Magestorm

Ten chapters through on Magestorm. Before last weekend, I think I only had one chapter and a few random notes, so it's going really well. I did a chapter outline, but so far it has taken a life of it's own. I think I'm just along for the ride (and to write it all down).

Sometimes I laugh at where a story will take me. I'm sure the chapters that pour out sometimes say something about my psyche, exactly what, I have no idea. It is best when they take a life of their own, because the words just flow and writers block isn't a concern.

Current projects

Right now I'm working on a new novel tentatively titled Magestorm: The Awakening

I plan to also work more on the 3rd Sinners and Saviors novel, and also a novella called The Rock.

Wartorn

The entire story is now up, as is the poll for rating it.

Wartorn

Part 3 is done, and I'll get it up this week sometime, so the entire story will be available. I will be adding a new poll to decide on the title as well. I will probably put up a poll for people to rate the story also.

Wartorn

The Coming Darkness has been renamed Wartorn. The first part is now titled The Coming Darkness. Not sure if the name will stick, i'm still thinking it over.

Also, Part 2 of Wartorn has been added. Part 3 is through the first draft, and I'm working on the second. With any luck, it will be up next weekend. Again, feedback is appreciated.

Just for the fun of it...

A Tale of Two Kitties


Silently, proudly, you lay,
Resting each summer day.

Rolling from here to there;
Curled up in my favorite chair.

Strolling from room to room,
To find a place to groom.

All day you’re peaceful and calm,
But at night, you become Hell’s spawn.

Bouncing from wall to wall
Like a little fuzzy rubber ball.

Knocking things off every shelf
Entertainment for only yourself.

Like caffeine flows through your veins,
You make sure nothing remains.

At sunset you change with such speed,
It’s a Tale of Two Kitties, indeed.

Coming Darkness - Part 2

Part 2 is done and will be posted this weekend when I have more time to do so (have to edit when I put it on here to make it look readable).

Also been spending lunchtime working on Part 3.  On chapter 3 of probably about 6 chapters, and I'm only on the first draft, so I expect 3 weeks at least before it's up here.

Coming Darkness - Part 1...

...is now available.  See tab above.  Any feedback would be appreciated!

The Coming Darkness - Update

I've completed (mostly) the second draft of Part 2.  Just need to make sure I'm detailed enough.

Also want to review one aspect of Part 1 to cover some details.  Hopefully will complete this weekend and post Part 1 on here.  I'll also see how far I can get on Part 2, and might be able to post that by the following weekend.

The Coming Darkness

Second draft of part 1 has just been completed.  I hand-wrote the first draft of part 1, part 2, and most of part 3.  Didn't finish the last chapter of part 3 before working on typing the first part into Word.  I haven't yet decided how to play out the battle, but will by the time I get the rest typed in.

Sometimes I prefer to write out by hand first, which forces me to review rather thoroughly as I type it.  The downside is, when I get on a roll, I can't write as fast as I can type, so it slows me down horribly.  I'll post part one here this week.

Salvation Lost

The second book of the Sinners and Saviors Series.  Not sure if the title will stick.  Just finished the second draft this week, so will be commissioning my unpaid proof-readers soon.  Just thinking over the book to see if there's anything I left out or need to add.

Design

Still playing with the design of this blog, trying to decide what I like best, and what seems to be most convenient. So don't be surprised if changes appear at random as I continue to tweak.

Chasing Salvation - Cover

Does it look too much like a romance novel?

Chasing Salvation

The first book of the Sinners and Saviors Series

Michael, a recent resident of Hell, has a second chance at salvation.

L has spent her life seducing men. For her unsuspecting prey, a night of pleasure costs a lifetime of servitude.

Their paths crossed, will L help Michael reach his freedom from purgatory? Or will she simply lead him back to damnation?

Angels and Demons, Vampires and Werewolves, and who knows what else lurk in this tale of love, greed, temptation, and revenge.

The Sinners and Saviors Series, where the battles between Heaven and Hell take place on Earth, and where heroes and villains take many forms.

Where to start?

First time blogging, now what do I say?  How about why I'm blogging to begin with...

Mainly, because all the other writers I seem to come across are doing it, so why not me?  If nothing else, this should be a good place to kick around ideas and promote my work as it gets completed.  So far, just one ebook, Chasing Salvation.  Currently it's for purchase on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

I just completed the second book, and am about to put it out to my personal editors for review.  While that's going on, I need to re-evaluate my covers...
