Episodes and Beta Readers

Okay, so it's finally time. Over the course of the next few months, starting in late November, I'll be releasing Insurgent as six short episodic ebooks. Once the final episode is released, will be going to print with the dead tree version of the book, as well as a consolidated ebook. I'm...

So, Episode 1 of Insurgent is back from the editor, and I’ve received a lot of detailed and excellent feedback from beta readers.  Working through the changes now, and I expect to release it for Kindle and other ebook readers by Christmas. A few more people have contacted me about being beta readers, but it was too late to get you in this round, but I’ll be in touch soon about episode 2.

Off to the editortop comments

Book 1 of Insurgent is off to the editor and a small circle of beta readers. Hoping to swing right into the second episode.  I have the second draft of the entire thing written, so now its a matter of polishing and finalizing each episode, getting them to the editor and putting it out.  Will go to print when all six episodes are out and finalized. Releasing the book in a serialized format is obviously a bit  of an experiment. …

With the Occupy everywhere protests going on all across the country, I’ve been seeing a lot of references to the 1932 Bonus March. Made me want to go find my old blog entry I posted a long time ago when republishing W.W. Waters’ book about the march, but apparently I lost it somewhere in moving from one blogging system to another. Luckily, the WayBackMachine archived it. For those who want some of the history… especially of how the marchers were …

Update on Insurgent

Just wanted to post a quick update that I’m hard at work on the second draft and expect to have that completed by the end of July or early in August.

First draft is: completed. It’s rough, disorganized, messy, full of typos, unreadable.  But finished. This evening I start rewriting.

 

Review: Tommy Nightmare by JL Bryan

Not long ago I read J.L. Bryan’s Dominion, which for quite a long time had been paired with one of my books on Amazon. Overall I loved the book, and went on to read Jenny Pox, a sort of paranormal fantasy. The premise of Jenny Pox is simple: teenage girl whose touch causes people to break out in plague. Despite the simple premise, the author develops believable and likable characters and made for a very good read. Tommy Nightmare is …

 

What’s up with Insurgent?

Just wanted to post a quick update to let folks know what is happening with progress on Insurgent. As of this week, I’m about 70,000 words into the first draft, and the basic framework for the novel is complete. I’ve got quite a few gaps to go back and fill in, and some changes to make, but as long as I continue at the same pace, I expect to have the first draft completed within another 60 days or so. …

 

Insurgent Chapter 6.1

The razor didn’t precisely shake in Jim Turville’s hands as he carefully shaved in the small mess-kit mirror.  Nonetheless, Turville paused, took a steadying breath, then quickly finished. He packed away his kit, placed a soft-cap on his head instead of the more familiar helmet, and walked to the front door of the home the Army was renting. Outside, the crickets and other insects made a roar, the sound resembling a jungle.  Turville approached the humvee, where Lieutenant Blake stood …
