'The Second Key of Kalijor' Out to test readers!!

OK, I finished the first revision of 'The Second Key of Kalijor' yesterday! I will get a couple copies made and out to test readers today and tomorrow and am putting a return date of the end of March on them. This gives me a couple months to get the next revision done, coordinate the cover art, and work on the layout/type-setting.

At this point I would have to say that I am on track for a June release, but remember, nothing is set in stone!

Kalijor on the iPhone!!!

Heyas all!

I just wanted to touch base with you and say that, as of 11am February 7th, 2009, both 'The First Key of Kalijor' and 'Jumah's World' are available on the Apple App Store. This means that you and your family and friends, can fire up your iPhone and/or iPod Touch and download a copy to read while you are out-and-about!

They are both stand-alone applications, which makes them easier to access (as opposed to opening up an eBook reader, then browsing for the files). They remember where you left off last, have adjustable font size, reversible colors and are searchable.

Please check them out, and tell your friends and family to have a look as well! :)

On a side-note, all author profits from the sale of 'Jumah's World' are still going to the Denver Children's Hospital, even iPhone/iPod and other digital formats (my books are also available on Amazon's Kindle platform).

OK, I am off to get ready for P&P gaming. I hope you have a great evening/day and I will talk at you later! :)

News about 'The Second Key of Kalijor'

Cover artist for The Second Key of Kalijor is in the pipe, and the cover design has been agreed upon for preliminary sketching. The manuscript revision is about 33% done, and could be done this week if all goes well. We'll see.

At that point, I will get a couple copies out to test readers for feedback and then get into another revision. After that, it will likely need another technical editing pass, then we could be ready for publication.

If all goes smoothly, that should all be done before June. No guarantees however, I'd rather miss my date by a bit than rush the product. I rushed Jumah's World a little bit and it shows in the product, I'm sorry to say. It's still an incredible work, don't get me wrong, but there are things I should have done, that I didn't. I don't ever intend to let myself do that again.

So, stay tuned. I'll keep the status of the new novel in the public eye so you all know where things are at.
