Writing. Today I have to work on a scene I’ve been putting off for sheer dread, so it’ll be a long one. Looking ahead at this week, like most people in the US, I’ll be out of the office most of Wednesday and all of Thursday for Thanksgiving. I will be in-office Friday and likely Saturday to make up the difference. To borrow boldly from Goethe, be bold, and mighty forces will come to your aid.

Wow, what a release week! I mentioned it on Twitter, but it’s worth mentioning here, too, that Fantasy Heights readers are the best. And for those of you who have been kind enough to post reviews already, thank you. I truly appreciate you taking the time. Naturally, I’m already getting deluged in the inbox about book 8 and when it might be released. I would love to try to beat a Christmas deadline, but based on what happened last time and the projected length of this episode, I might also require a Christmas miracle to get 8 launched by then. So I guess… We’ll see? Lame answer, but it’s the… Read More

Here it comes: Book 7: SmashwordsBook 7: All Romance eBooksBook 7: Amazon/KindleBook 7: Barnes & Noble More links forthcoming as they go live throughout the day today and tomorrow. Impatient? Remember that all file types are available through Smashwords. If you need help figuring out how to get those files onto your device, please visit this very helpful page. ETA: I forgot to mention I added a dedication to this one; due to a production/sampling issue, we had to add it to the very back of the file. Also, please be kind to your fellow series readers. Confine spoilery stuff to the forums, if you would, please.

…aaaaaaaaand we have a cover. And just think: by this time next week, you could know the answer to “will they or won’t they?”

They’re handing out armies of skanks and high-status man candy at every polling place. True story.

Morning, everybody. I know we’re a week past deadline and patience is wearing thin. I’ve just sent the book off for one last round with Emma (editor) for what we all hope is the last round of polish. This won’t take a lot of time, but it is extremely nerve-wracking because we know we’ve reached a ‘point of no return’ with this episode. Virtually every small reveal, every scrap of exposition, affects not only books eight and nine, but reaches way out into the continuation of this series as well. That is why we are being extra OCD about this episode. I apologize profusely for the delay. Also, I did… Read More

I think for a lot of us this morning, it’s not about wanting to help, but needing to help those affected by Sandy. Red Cross Donate blood or money, or both. Meantime, take a moment today to think good thoughts about the public servants who stick their necks out to protect their fellow man. In completely unrelated news, there might be postage on the forums later today about WHW’s delay; it depends on how much I get done this morning. And speaking of which… Be safe.

Whenever I talk about release dates I always add “barring anything unforeseen”. Well, the unforeseen happened: We had a break-in last week. Don’t worry. No one was home, no one was hurt or anything, but try as I might not to let it affect me, apparently “HULK SMASH” is not a recommended revisions method. The episode isn’t yet in the shape readers deserve, and right now I’m worried about hitting the marks in an already tight production schedule. Wish Her Well will probably still make the Halloween target, but if it’s late, blame me, not Amazon or Smashwords or whoever. Not coincidentally, it’ll continue to be pretty quiet ’round these parts.… Read More
