Final Notes Received

Today I received my final beta reader’s notes, so I will be going over those this weekend and next week to finalize changes to the book. As of right now I’m on track for releasing The Lost Door on May 12th.

Here is what the physical book looks like.

The Lost Door Delayed to May

I had originally intended to have The Lost Door available at the end of this month, but it’s been pushed back a few weeks while I make some last minute tweaks. One of my beta readers went old school and mailed me a marked up manuscript, and since he lives overseas it’s taken a little longer to get to me. I should have the manuscript this week and corrections made by the weekend, so my new target date is May 12.

Cover Art Completed

The Lost Door CoverThis morning I was delivered the completed cover art for The Lost Door, and I couldn’t be happier. It’s always fun to see the ideas transform from a sketch to the final product. I want to thank Diago Lando for doing such a fantastic job. You can see his portfolio on his website here.

I am now waiting on the printer to send me a proof to finalize. If everything looks as good as I hope it will I’m on track for releasing the book at the end of April.

In other news I have completed the first chapter of my next novel Echoes. It is the first in what is a planned trilogy. All three books are outlined and I have a clear path to follow, so hopefully this book will take less time to write than The Lost Door. I look forward to posting more information on this new book at a later date.
