NEW COVERS, NEW STUFF TO SAY

It's been a few weeks since I posted, but that's mostly due to how busy I've been. First off, I had a table at Fountain City Comic Con for one of those weekends. If you follow me on Instagram, or Facebook you likely saw some of the pictures I took. It was a blast. I sold some books, talked to a prop master about his work on Army of Darkness, and I may have lined up some new side projects. It never hurts to network!

​I've also been writing a ton on CoM #8, now titled "Denouement". I'm at 16-17k words right now, with a ton more to go. I'd like to be done with the first draft in Oct and publishing it around Nov/Dec, but no promises. This is a tough one because I'm tying up all the loose ends, referencing things from all 9 books, and more that I don't want to say for fear of ruining something. I'll put it this way. If I do this the way I want to, this will be my favorite book so far. Not a thing I say very often, as my current favorite is Five Man Midget Death Squad. Minor plot hint: we haven't seen the last of the octopus trees.

Speaking of octopus trees, I also created a new cover for Hitori. It was a long time coming, given the first one I made way back when I was just learning Photoshop. The main graphic was made with MidJourney, but I cleaned it up and added some things to make it more in line with the book.

The ebook should be getting the new cover soon. It's going through the approval process. The paperback will take a bit longer to happen. Firstly, I need to build the graphic, but I also want to tweak the formatting of the book to look more professional. Again, it's a long time coming.
