Hey! I don’t usually update this often, but couple of pieces of news to share.

First if you like fiction about the dirty underbelly of Hollywood (and who doesn’t) please check out notorious Hollywood columnist Nikki Finke’s site, Hollywooddementia. Why? because she has published my novella Falconer, which is about a nasty piece of work named Gavin Falconer! It is appearing in four parts, with Part 2 up today, but if you follow the link to the site you can catch up on Part 1. It would be cool if you leave a comment on the site as well, preferably saying something nice. Or not! But also so cool is the artwork by John Donald Carlucci that accompanies each installment. He is extremely talented. So go read. Here’s the link:

And now marketing news. In case you missed the current issue of The Malibu Times (what, you don’t have a subscription??) this little piece appears on Page 19. 

Part of Women Like Us is set in Malibu (with most of the rest in Pasadena), so small independent papers in those areas have been targeted and see? The effort pays off. A blitz of small independent bookstores is currently being planned. Hopefully more news on that soon.

Okay that’s it.  Go read Falconer. It’s very different from Women Like Us, and quite frankly it’s not for children, so shoo the kids out of the room!

Yes, I’m still alive (though you wouldn’t know it from my lack posts recently) and working hard on finishing up the novel so that it can be submitted for final edits. It’s a long process, and time-consuming, so I haven’t had many opportunities to post here. 

Looking ahead, I’ll be doing some update work to the main page for "CotF" - which includes adding additional artwork, along with updated versions of the entire first act of the novel (15 chapters, fully edited and finalized). This should serve as a healthy preview of the final book, giving readers an entire arc to work their way through as the novel prepares for wide-distribution. 

I’m also scheduling my first con appearances, so be on the lookout for videos and promotional-material I’ll be posting in the upcoming weeks. That’s pretty much it for now - I’m hoping to have the updated samples and everything else up by the end of next week, though things can always change. 

P.S. 

I do have one treat for everyone, although it’s still only a WIP, I think the quality (by the lovely Ellie Yong) speaks for itself. Taken from Fionna Cohmwell’s encounter with the Spirit of the Forest, from about half-way through the book. 

Enjoy ~

The end is nigh my friends...200 of you intrepid adventurers have put your trust and hard earned money into this making this book a reality, and with 10 days to go, funding is almost completed. Barring some major shift in events behind the scenes, Deus Hex Machina will be headed toward production shortly thereafter.
