A quick heads up on news:
Mechmaster sent me back Afraid of the Dark the other day. I'm implementing some edits in between getting ready for Thanksgiving and dealing with family. (who want to shop daily, ugh!)
I don't have a time table on releasing it yet. He's suggesting a bit of a rewrite plus deleting sections of the book that don't contribute directly to the story. (but explain some other things I wanted explained for the possible game or sequel) I'm still debating what to do.
Poon has started winding down on corrections for 13 Degrees. If he gives it a passing grade I'll try to run it through one last read through/spell check and then publish it this week. (in-between the 1,001 other things I have to do this week!)
Edit: Oops! Forgot this: If you haven't seen it in the comments, Jory has created a Facebook Group called Federation Military Network. Fans can see some stuff I haven't released here or in the books just yet, plus discuss the Federation series.

And finally, Jory is working on a short story. We're still discussing details. I'm open to some of the insiders to write stories if they mesh well with the main plot, don't involve the main characters, or are out in another sector... :) What can I say, it's a big galaxy. Hint Jacob, Thomas. ;D
That's it for now! I'll post again when publishing is imminent! Now I get to chase my nephew and his cousin around John's Incredible Pizza and then shop. Joy!

ReplyDeleteAh, the Holiday fun. Here's hoping you do find time to put the book out this week. I will likely be checking twice a day. Yep..no life here.:-D Otherwise, Happy Thanksgiving Chris!
ReplyDeleteThanks. You too. Don't go as insane as I seem to be. :)
DeleteMe checking already, ever since I saw that PB were getting close to be finished... :)
ReplyDeleteI'll let you know on the blog when it's 12-24 hours to publish. Right now I'm working on getting a new cell (mine went plop in the potty) and I was just informed the family wants to go shopping again. Again. AGAIN!!!! UGH!

DeleteWhat can I say, when you gotta go... ya gotta go.
You would rib me about that. And NO, I STILL don't have a new one yet. We're going AGAIN tomorrow. GRRR. You'd think someone would have one in stock and NOT tell me to come back tomorrow or to pick one that is $600 and up!
And yes, I will get around to reading Vision as soon as I get a chance. After I cook dinner maybe. Oh wait, I have to put the town scenes up tonight since we're carpet cleaning tomorrow... grrr...
On the deleting scenes that do not contribute directly. I hope to you keep them. I know editors usually advocate to remove them... but I like the back stories.
ReplyDeleteI'm of two minds. In some ways I agree, if it doesn't contribute or slows the pace... but then sometimes editors (both for books and movies) take too much out. That bugs me. If it's nonstop action it can get confusing. You wonder what led to it, or it feels cheap.
DeleteI dunno. I want to leave some of it in for roots for future works. (both sequel and book related) But he is right, I have a bad habit of 'pete and repeat. In some cases plot wise, it was intentional. (I wanted to drive home a new reality)
We'll see how it goes...
Whoops, meant Sequel and GAME related. My bad.
