Giveaways, Special Pricing, and WIP Updates

I decided to kick summer off by running a few promotions. Starting tomorrow, Friday June 6th, Fate’s Haven will be available free on Amazon until the evening of Sunday June 8th. The second book in the series, The Enemy Within, will also be available at a reduced price starting Friday. The sale price will be $0.99 until Saturday evening and will gradually increase throughout the following week. Also, my novelette, Tales From the Abyss: Paradox, is always available free of charge so you can pick up a copy too.


So spread the news and help me drive sales up. Having a higher standing with Amazon always helps overall sales. Leaving reviews also helps tremendously since many people are easily swayed based on the opinions of other readers.


It’s been a while since I’ve made any updates and don’t want anyone thinking the site has been abandoned or anything. I’ve been busy with my day job (I’m an IT security consultant by day) and my personal life has me a bit busy these days.


I began writing the third installment of my series and am about 20,000 words into what I’m estimating to be a 90,000 word rough draft. After my (long) editing process, I’m expecting the final draft to be about 95,000 words, which will put it about the same length as the other two books. I’ve hit a bit of a slump while I work out some of the details but hope to be back on track soon. I had a couple of really good writing days last month and hope I can regain that momentum.


My slump is a result of a snag I hit last week. I’m not entirely sure how I want to proceed. Since I don’t map out every single action of every scene there are times where I write something that works so well that I just know I have to keep it. The problems arise when I wind up backing myself into a corner. But after looking at what I have and where I’m going I’m back on track and am very pleased with what I have thus far.
