Scattered Leaves

I think I finally finished the cover for my upcoming book The Fables of Lanternum: Threshold.   It may change a little between now and the time the book releases (not quite sure on the date yet) but this is mostly what it's going to look like.  My dad painted the picture and I added the text and other goodies after the fact.  I'm good at using computer programs, just not so good at drawing; glad my dad was willing to help me out! My hope is to have the book finished and on  Amazon and Barnes and Noble sometime in October.  Every month it seems like I think the book will come out the following month and it hasn't happened so far.  Deadlines aren't much fun anyways Until next time, -D

Well, the latest draft of my Fables of Lanternum  story is finished (I've been referring to it as Lampwick the Great ) and copies have been distributed to my advance readers for them to scour and give me feedback.  If everything comes back okay, I'm hoping to have the story available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Smashwords in e-form by the end of the month, with a traditional book being ready to be printed by the end of September/early October.   My dad finished the cover and I'm pretty happy with the finished result.  I'm still trying to figure out a title for the book.  So far I'm leaning towards The Fables of Lanternum: Threshold  .  It seems kind of appropriate given the events that are happening in the book.  We'll see though! In other writing news, I've finished the first two chapters of a new book entitled Among the Shoulders of the World , a tale of magic, civilizations making their homes on the backs and shoulders of enormous giants...
