Copy edits are done, and we have a cover!

Thank you all for your comments and feedback! I am really grateful to everyone who took the time to voice their opinion. This final version has been tweaked to make it a little lighter, and I think will be really eye-catching both on store shelves and as an online thumbnail!

Next step is trying to secure cover blurbs from prominent authors or reviewers, then final proofreads, spine and back cover design, and final interior layout for both the ebook and hardcopy versions! It’s all coming together!

Thank you all yet again!

Dear friends and followers,

First, allow me to introduce another one of the characters from "Murder at the Veterans’ Club": William Mainwaring, brother of Oscar Mainwaring. Not a member of the club himself, since he never fought, but intimately linked to it through his brother.

Next, I want to introduce to (some of ) you another book on Inkshares that has caught my attention: "Manifesto", by Daniel Poort. It’s classed as "horror", but there’s a strong mystery/crime/thriller element as well, dealing as it does with a serial killer and the small town sheriff investigating the crimes. It’s a reminder that you really don’t need supernatural shenanigans to make a horror story: the mind of an ordinary person can be a terrifying place.

And now I must run. It is, as I’ve mentioned before, IFcomp season, and there is a ton of interactive fiction in this year’s crop. Anyone who’s stopped by my blog will know that it is completely taken over by my ongoing reviews. So I’m busy! So until next time, keep busy, keep reading, and make sure you’re having fun while you’re at it. Ciao!

Hey everybody.  Only two weeks until Halloween!  It is my favorite holiday.  Costumes, parties, scary movies and haunted houses are all fantastic.  Speaking of Halloween, we have until exactly Halloween to get into the winner’s circle of the Crypt TV contest.  So share some links, convince some friends, and help Manifesto: A Tale of Murder win this thing.

Cheers,

Dan

The whisper of the wind, sifting through the Blackwood’s depths, brings on its current a new update. 

The Children of the Forest has a new chapter posted, and in addition, several new pieces of artwork. The final cover is now up, and she’s quite lovely. The talented Ellie Yong has outdone herself, and I couldn’t be happier with the final product. The book’s main page has also received some sprucing, specifically the blurb, synopsis, and layout. 

Head on over and check it out ~
