The Shoot Is On

The Photo Shoot Has Been Confirmed!

In the last post, I was setting things up with a few choice models for the cover photos. As of this week, things have begun for real.

The model has been chosen, the location, most of the individual shots, and even the props are on their way from all over the world. (I love eBay and Amazon;)

At this point, the wardrobe and make up are being all gathered to be ready for the day of shooting. It should be early to mid April at this point. Of course that is tentative to everyone's schedule. But the main thing to take from this is that it is happening.

The last time I paid for a cover, I got everything I asked for. It was beautiful, exactly as I had asked, and it was even done in the time frame I had asked. The price was even very reasonable. However, there was one problem, I didn't ask for more. The last cover was meant as a wrap around for that one book only. This time, I will be taking enough photos to use for up to seven different book covers. That's right, this shoot will get me through the next seven books.

Now I know what you may be thinking - "You don't have seven books!"

"Actually, yes, I do."

Demon Vampire is being cut into three volumes by itself. SSR 1192 has already been out for over a year, which makes it book four. The next book to be released will be entitled Redgold, which will be book five. The side novella after that will be called Five Years, making it book six. Finally, the seventh novel is what I'm currently working on right now. It doesn't have a title yet, but it will soon.

After those seven photos have been used for the covers, I will be doing another shoot. I will be using a different model for that one though. She will be made up to look like Sophialla. The short, petite, long blonde haired vixen that was only mentioned in the later part of Demon Vampire. She will be the next character immortalized on the covers.

As for the current character, it will be Kyli Waterfield envisioned by a live model.

To those that think seven photos of Kyli will be a bit monotonous, it won't all be her exactly. I have come up with an array of images to photograph that will all have an equally diverse impact on the eye and mind.

For now, know that I am hard at work with the series. Everything is coming together for the re-release. Imagine, within the year, over a hundred thousand people all reading and talking about The Redgold Series. Please, tell everyone you know about this site and have them follow through feedburner at the top right of the site. Because if you do, it will help everyone to read this fantastic story. You have the power to spread the word, now go, and talk about Demon Vampire to the next person you see.

Great News, One Is Done!!

Book One Is Done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have sent off book one of The Redgold Series back to the editor for final proofing. (Jimmy, you are awesome.) Everyone, Thank Jimmy Blake, please. He has turned the novel around from being dismissed for the spelling and punctuation errors that caused it those few low reviews.

In a while, hopefully about a month, the book will be ready for re-release.

It will also have a new cover.... If things go well. The current artist did wonderful in creating the likeness of Kyli, but there was still something missing from the image - A pulse. That's right, the new cover for the book will be a live model. The model hasn't been confirmed yet, but I will ultimately be shooting the cover in about a month's time. Meaning that right now, the logistics matter more than anything. As long as I find the right subject by the last minute, everything will go well and you all will be able to see the new look of Kyli Waterfield.

As for all the headache with Erudite Small Press, things have calmed down. I've found out that I wasn't just thinking I was in over my head, I found out that is how it was supposed to be with one person managing a whole publishing company that they won in a legal dispute over royalty payments. Yes, everything is just wonderful;) ...(There was expletives that I wish to omit right now for the sake of the younger readers of my work. Rest assured that I am getting everything done as quickly as I am able with all that I have to juggle on my plate.)

For now, simply subscribe to the blog, lend as much support as you can over the next month. The more hype the re-launch gets, the more the sales go up, and the more work I will be able to put into the rest of the series as a whole.

And Now Onto Massive Editing

This week I will do that which is feared by all authors... Editing. 

I will be tackling Bloodlines and I hope to have most of it done this week. Remember that even the professional editor I paid for this book took 3 months to edit it. That means I have my work cut out for me in the re-write.

The good news is that once the new version of the book comes out, it will mean that the old version, the one that most people got signed personally by me, will be more valuable in the end. Mainly, because they will be completely out of print as soon as the new version is released.

I will be offering an anthology version of the book, which will be books 1-3 on Kindle and in print. All those wanting a 680+ page book, you're welcome. It will also be at a discount when buying it on Kindle as well.

In the mean time, I am prepping the first chapter of the re-write to be released on the blog, so be sure to follow the feed, hit like, and join the follower list to stay in touch for it.

Until Then, Enjoy The Night.
