Nor the race to the swift

 'Shadows of the Past' is nearing completion, I continue editing and revising my early books, it is coming, but slowly, I'm afraid I'd rather write new stuff than rewrite the old and life itself tends to limit how much time I can devote to either.

Book I and II are out, again.

 I finally got the first two books of 'Serpent' completely revised, I'll attack the boxed set when I'm completely finished, and update the 'In Shadow' copy when I release the next book in that series.  The story is the same, just a revamp in structure and language to make it flow a bit better.

Working on it!

I know your summer is absolutely ruined since I have yet to finish revisions on even the first book of 'Serpent and the Unicorn,' but I'm working on it!  It is almost as much work, and far less fun, than writing a novel story, no wonder I never went into editing!  But don't worry, I'm not changing the story, merely the word structure to make it a bit less obvious and cumbersome, but it will take awhile, so go photograph a comet or something!

More updates and a project of special magnificence

There is a partial chapter missing in the 'Other Brother' boxed set and I'll try and get that straightened out one of these years, but I'm also undertaking something I've been loath to begin: a complete revision of my early books, particularly 'The Serpent and the Unicorn.'  Fear not, the story will not change, but I have learned a lot in the past decade, and while it is a decent book, it could be so much better.  The writing is choppy, the characters two dimensional, and sadly the obvious is stated far too often.  Not bad for a beginner, but painful to read some years and a lot of writing later.  It may take a while, but I'll release them as I get them done.  I've struggled with this for a long time, knowing they needed revision but not wanting to 'destroy' my early works, as I was a whole other person when I wrote them and it seems akin to doing radical plastic surgery on your kid because their nose isn't quite the way you want it, but editing isn't quite so dramatic as surgery, and if the works will come out the stronger, why not?  We'll know soon enough!

Update again

I've been trying for weeks to get the updated 'In Shadow' box set approved for distribution at Smashwords, but it finally made it through.  I've been having trouble with the table of contents in some of the box sets in the epub format and I can't figure out what the problem is, I'd like to blame it on the conversion process as it works just fine on the computer but some of the links don't work in the iPad version of the finished ebook.  Sorry about the nuisance, I am working on it, but my tech team (me!) is pretty occupied with life at the moment.  There's also a repeat story, though the title is different, in the newest volume of the Greylands, I'll eventually get the right tale to replace it, but for now, enjoy the rest of the book!

In Shadow update

'Shadow Business' is now included in the 'In Shadow' box set, along with restoring the missing text from a chapter in 'To Shadow Bound' that somehow got deleted at some point!

New book out!

Shadow Business (In Shadow book 8) is now out at Smashwords, awaiting review before distribution elsewhere.  I'll get it on Amazon eventually...  Enjoy!
