July Is Almost Here
Wow. Well, first thing’s first. I thought I shared the cover of the next book, but I guess I didn’t. Anyway, there it is on the left. A simple cover, but if you think about the cover and the title I think you can come up with an idea of who and what might be in it. š
It’s been about a week since Demon’s Doorway came out. So far the reception has been pretty positive. It seems from the early reviews that Jack seems to be a favorite of many readers. It figures, as he’s the hardest to write for. š
I haven’t worked on Witch’s Kurse in a while. The summer time as well as promotion for Dead Living has slowed me down somewhat. Ā I’m in the middle now of the blog tour for Dead Living. It’s been fun, but I find myself dreading every review. No one’s tougher on their own work than the author.
Back to Demon’s Doorway. I’ve seen some comments about “I wish such-and-such character was in it more.” I wish I could have given certain people more face time too, š but I didn’t want to overload the novel with too many characters. I’m sure when more solo novels come out I can get more of the familiar characters in once again.
Another issue I’ve seen with Demon’s Doorway that I agree with 100% is that I need to do more with my villains. Demon’s Doorway was all about the interactions between the four main characters, but I’m hoping to give the villains in Witch’s Kurse more life. Thanks for reading, guys. š

I’m just curious as to why we haven’t seen anything else of Mason from Mind Slide? Is he just going to be a one-timer?

Ha, old Mason. I think you’re maybe the 4th person who’s asked about Mason, as to the 100+ who’s asked about Alex and the rest of the crew. š Mason never seemed to catch on with the readers. I haven’t heard too much negative about Mind Slide, but Mason is a character no one really seems to crave.
At the moment, I’m thinking he’s a one time novel. But I also thought that about Alex when he first popped up, and that definitely changed. š

I too would like to see more of Mason. It doesn’t seem that his story would be a bad fit for the rest. Of course, then you’d have to find a way to include FIVE characters in a novel!

I always saw Mason’s world as more of a different world than Damned and Cursed. His has the psychic slant, with governments trying to do bad things. It wouldn’t be impossible to bring him in, but I don’t really see monsters existing in his world.

I really liked Demons doorway. I would be hard pressed to pick a favorite character in the “series”.
Frankly having each in the book seemed to be a force multiplier if you will. Having them all in future storylines would be great.
Oh, and I liked Mind Slide.

I’ll probably be doing a lot of combining from now on. Not all four necessarily, but a combo here and there. I like the way some pairs worked out, and to be honest, it’s a lot easier to write 75K+ words with two characters instead of one.

any chance this book is coming out before the 14th? i’ve got a 16 hour plane ride to look forward to having this bad boy on my kindle would help alot with that

Witch’s Kurse it quite a ways off š I’m only 10K words into it, and enjoying summer at the moment. š
I should put up a sample soon though.

ahh, i just assumed from the state of the cover it’d be almost done, i have an excuse to read the older stuff again (also that covers is sexy as hell)
July 6, 2013 @ 11:38 am
Usually I do the covers late, but this one I already had an idea of what I wanted done, and even the title, so I figured I’d get it done early. More scenes are slowly coming together in my head, and I think it’ll be a nice one. š

While I find Jack intriguing and in many ways he has a personality quite similar to my own my favorite character is Victoria followed closely by Kevin. Having been an orphan would a possible friendship- mentor relationship be possible with Tiffany. Having a rough child hood could be the basis for a common bond.

I’ll leave a hint. There are a lot of cool scenes in Witch’s Kurse regarding Tiffany and Kevin. š
