Hey, all. Things are moving along:

Dark Devilry

  • Writing done
  • Layout done
  • Editing in flight and expect completion by the end of the week
  • Proof copy (POD) ordered. While ordered before the completing the editing, this should show any glaring graphic issues.
  • Still waiting for a few pieces of art.
  • We have a slotted production date at the end of January.

A Crawl Through Inferno

  • Main writing done
  • Rough Layout done
  • Additional writing in flight. Expect completion by the end of the week.
  • I will submit the book to the editor upon the writing's completion
  • I still need to schedule a production date.

So what does this mean?  I expect to be shipping books in March. 

Thanks again for your support. The delays show the devil is in the details. [pun intended]
