    New Midnight Rising chapter off to prereaders...

    At long last. This is the redo of the chapter I was forced to scrap in April and then about 80% rewrite. I saved a few select bits and pieces from the original version, but the rest went by the wayside.

    Still pecking away on Midnight Rising and Feathered Hearts...

    The two Lemon Zest chapters of Midnight Rising have now reached 26,600 words and they’re still nowhere near done, with probably another 5-6k words to go. Gotta treat the girl right, after all, and also make sure there’s plenty of sexy side dishes around her. And as for Feathered Hearts?

    Still working on Midnight Rising...

    At the rate of about 800-1000 words a day. That’s my key to getting stuff done that’s causing you issues; just be sure you put at least a little time in on it this day to have some forward momentum. The two chapters are now up to 24,100 words. I’ll work on it more this weekend, at least around continuing work around the maps and battle graphics I’m making for Feathered Hearts.

    Did two things this past weekend...

    First, I ran 10k for the first time in two months after laying off that long to let my ankle bursitis subside, trying to allow the area to generally heal up. It appears that it worked. To my delight, there was no ankle pain after and I hadn’t even lost much stamina thanks to hitting an elliptical machine twice a week for an hour instead of jogging. My upper legs are another matter, though.

    C&C chapter 40 entering prereads tonight + teaser

    Much as I didn’t want to, I made the decision to break it up since the full length of the War Council meeting had exceeded 20,000 words and will probably approach 25k for the now-two chapters before all is said and done. The breakpoint itself will be between learning about the general war situation both Aricia and the Griffon Kingdom face, and then discussing what in all the Crows they’re going

Book and story update · 6:27pm May 28th, 2014

Well folks... my novel is hopefully going to go live on Kindle Direct Publishing in around a week or so, at which point I'll be resuming work on Five Star Service - A Gentleman for Mares Tale. At this point, I'm just awaiting the completion of my cover art and a little more reader feedback, including putting the preview of the story up on some other sites, before hitting the publish button. I'm also seeing about doing a print paperback version, though that would be more expensive. Would be kind of cool to hold a copy of my book in hand, though...

As for Five Star Service, I made a promise to myself that I would not work on it again until the novel was done, reason being that I didn't want that used as an excuse for putting the novel off any longer. I haven't forgotten about it, rest assured. I will hopefully have a new chapter ready in 3-4 weeks and then resume getting them out at that rate.

Until then... in a shameless effort to drum up some interest and initial sales for my novel, I'm making the preview available for all. You guys know my writing style, so if you'd like to see what I can do with a full-length adult anthro novel, here it is:

Dominion Academy: Book 1 - Orientation (preview)

Both MS Word and PDF versions are available on site. If you want to give feedback, whether good or bad, feel free--I do listen.

Firesight out.

Wow, glad to know you're still working on Five Stars' story (was curious wheere you went off too. Hehe) anywho i hope your novel gets reaction you aim for (what is it about anyway? The title?)

As always - more power to you /)

Thanks, appreciate it. From my novel's virtual bookjacket description, subject to change until publication:

"When a brilliant young lioness named Kamilya Kampo came on staff at involuntarily integrated Dominion Academy as varsity basketball coach, she thought she knew what she was getting into--resentful students, jaded instructors and a mixed-race girls' basketball team that hated each other as much as they hated the school. Thrust into an integrated work environment and exposed to interspecies relationships for the first time, she finds that coaching her basketball team is the least of her challenges as she's forced to confront her biases and question her own sexual identity, discovering that she's neither as asexual or uninterested in other species as she thought..."

If that interests you, check out the preview.

I, personally, can wholeheartedly recommend the story. It's good, very good.
