Latest Cover for Redemption
Well, what a lousy three day weekend. Trouble on the home front, trouble with friends. : /
Things were a little better today, and I got to sit down and make another try at a cover for Redemption. You can check out some of my previous attempts in the last post, here. Making covers is always a fun way to relax when I'm too tense to write or edit. : )
This cover is by no means a final draft...just me, getting some ideas out before I make a final decision. Comments always welcome.

Editing beyond bedtime
I just got off another two chapters of Redemption to my editors. :) I've discovered that when I write or edit after bedtime, it's usually not a good thing. I don't know why I continue to allow it to happen.
My cats are sitting here, anxiously awaiting the moment that I close the laptop--they've trained themselves that when this happens, the bedtime routine begins. It includes a refill of their food bowls, so you can see why they have an interest in my writing habits.
I don't know why writing is a late night venture for me; there's something about the dark that gets me going, and something about exhaustion that lowers my inhibitions just enough. Of course, I know I'll wake up tomorrow and have a horrible "what was I thinking" moment when I read what I wrote, but oh well.
That's what editors are for, right? (Love you, editors. I owe you coffee.)

Alright, everyone. I've wanted to do this for a while. It's taken me a little time to figure out the execution.

Arrival of the Traveler on Smashwords
Why a free book? Sales were awesome in January, and it has really given my confidence a boost. I've been writing since I was an awkward teenager and before, but Arrival has been my first venture into publishing. It has been on the market for 6 months now, and that's something to celebrate. Thank you all for making this adventure such a wonderful experience.
