10 Days
That’s how long I have to finish the rough draft of FayTown Calling. Why am I telling you that? Because I’m going to record my progress here. Let me lay this out in detail. I’m off work, ten days of wide open time to write and create, time I intend to use its full extent. The first third is pretty much done, enough that I’d be happy to let someone read it. The second third is rough but will really only need some polish. It’s that last third that’s going to be the tough part. Does this mean FayTown Calling will be out in June? No, sorry. After I’m “finished” there’s a good bit of editing that will need to happen. Not polish, I intend to polish it as best I can in these ten days as well, but still a lot of work to make sure it is presentable. It will however…

FayTown Calling Cover Reveal
My cover artist just completed the FayTown Calling cover. That doesn’t meant the book is out yet, but now I have a big incentive to get going with it.
New Sorcerer Rising Cover
Earlier this year I commissioned a new book cover for Sorcerer Rising, as well as one for FayTown Calling. This is part of an effort to brand my Virgil McDane books, to make them run together. Karri Klawiter is the artist and she’s done a fantastic job. Gotta say, I never realized how bad mine looked until I saw this. Just can’t get over how good it looks. It’ll be up on the retail sites soon enough, with a paperback finally coming out the end of the week. I will have a reveal for FayTown Calling toward the end of the week. That…doesn’t exactly mean the book will be coming out then, but seeing the cover has goaded me into a new pace.
Broker of the Damned
I am happy to announce a new short story, Broker of the Damned. This story gives the first real glimpse into the world of the Coven, and shows what role Witches serve in Virgil’s world. Blurb is below. The United States Magistrate is the organization that all mages fear. For hundreds of years, their Witches have hunted rogue Sorcerers and wild Wizards, binding those that would endanger others with their power. Now, a Necromancer is loose in Mare City, selling his dark arts to the highest bidder. Deputy Magistrate Matthias Ewing is on the case and must find out who this dark mage is and bring him to justice.
