Yay!  New cover art!  Check out Grace Fong’s rendering of the Grey Maiden.  I’ll make a version with the title not covering her face as soon as I get the chance.  If somebody wants to volunteer their graphic design skills, that’s cool too.  Here’s a full view: http://ouratomictomorrow.com/art-preview-grey-maiden-ink-bust-by-grace-fong/  Like and share on FB, please, and retweet my pinned post.  Grace is open for commissions!

Now that I’ve shifted to focusing on Launchpad 2016, I’ve gone back to do a bit of editing on Chapters 1 & 2.  Bad news is, that means Chapter 3 is still a WIP.  Good news is, the revisions will reveal more of the story than I’ve let trickle out so far.  The final deadline for Launchpad is August 21st, so I’ll have at least those two out by then, hopefully a fully edited Chapter 3, though I suspect it will take me past the 50 page limit.

If you’ve been holding back on pre-ordering, now would be a great time. My days and nights are packed.  It’s readers and potential readers that keep me going.

    Today I made a good start on Chapter Three.  My word count wasn’t anything to write home about, but I researched a number of interesting details about my Real World setting - Oakland, CA - that should add depth and interest.  Marty’s "home" life is the subject of the chapter’s first two scenes.  You’ll understand why I quoted "home" when I post.

    I’ve been pretty nice to Marty up until now.  Though he’s got his stressors, the other characters have had more immediate threats to contend with before now.  That changes in Chapter Three.  Sorry Marty.  Wish I could let you coast to the end, but a protagonist worth reading about has to earn!

        It was a looong day, but Chapter Two is online!  Hope everybody likes the change of scenery and the new faces that will be popping up again down the line.  As long as it took to post this chapter, it actually didn’t take that long to write and edit.  If the prospects for the book seeing publication improve, I’ll be able to invest more time creating it and less scouring the Internet for work.  In other words, if you like the samples, please pre-order!  You’ll be helping me make my dream of actually doing something I’m good at for a living come true.  Peace!
