We have a publication date – March 28th 2017!!!
This awesome little addition was made to my Inkshares page last night.
Thank you all for being so patient with me, I know many of you didn’t realize just how long a wait it was going to be when you generously supported my quest to publish The Bones of the Past. To tell the truth, I had no idea how involved the process was myself. I’m now on a schedule to make edits and respond to questions from a sequence of editors through to October.
First up is the developmental edits where plot holes are identified, chronology issues are addressed, fat is trimmed and any big issues fixed. Then comes the copy edits to fix the overall quality of the writing and address any weird word choices I might have made and managed to ignore over my repeated rewrites. Then proofreads, looking at the layout of print and eBook formats… all of which is going to take longer because I can’t manage to tell a story in less than 460 pages… And of course during all that, the interior and cover of the book are going to be designed.
So there’s still lots of work ahead for me, but it’s a hugely exciting process where I get to work with a great bunch of very talented people. The end result is going to be so much better than I ever could have managed alone.
March 28th is a long way off and yet it’s tight for all the work still going into the book and then the marketing efforts that roll out before Bones lands in bookstores. But you won’t have to wait quite that long – Inkshares orders usually show up about a month early!
Thank you all for your continued support, interest, and *cough* great taste in books! March is just around the corner!
Hey Everyone,
As I mentioned in my last update, a new title has been in the works for Pixilated Obsidian Roses. While I am very fond of POR, and it was hard to let go of, I have finally settled for one that I believe better represents the content of the book. Therefore, Pixilated Obsidian Roses is now A Bedlamite in Shadow.
I will be updating the book’s Inkshares page in the next day. In the meantime, here is the new temporary cover art. And remember, we have about 20 days left. So, please help spread the word.

Greetings Destiny-followers,
One of the joys of taking a vacation is a chance to read the stuff I had previously ordered on Inkshares. And here are three I would absolutely recommend!
An Unattractive Vampire by @jimmcdoniel - a tremendous take on the modern-day vampire story (available now).
Rune of the Apprentice by @jamisonstone - an awesome, rollocking fantasy (available now).
An Adventure with Dada by @michaelhaase - a hilarious read and somewhat at the ribald end of the spectrum (pre-order at this stage, I’m reading an advance copy).
Apologies for not linking through with the above books, but the phone is proving difficult to deal with!
I’m also still in the hunt for a top three position with Destiny Imperfect (sitting third with fourth hot on my heels!) and could do with a boost if you feel like jumping on board.
Have a good one and check out those books!
Cheers,
Peter
