  • The Wednesday People #wabwm

    So it turns out I’m not, much to my utter frustration, done with the print version of WARPAINT yet. One of my only-slightly-less-rushed Wednesday people (folks who missed the print deadline, but got corrections in in time to help me with the ebook versions) found a mistake so egregious I’m going to have to re-submit…

  • Had to re-do the WARPAINT Print version

    First thing this morning, found the notice from CreateSpace in my mailbox letting me know the book was good to go…”but images less than 200 dpi may appear blurry in print.” Didn’t have any images, but I DID have the text itself. So rather than run the chance of the book being blurry, I’ve spent…

  • It took this long, but the print version of WARPAINT is now published.

    10:20 PM. The print version of WARPAINT is done. It’s in CreateSpace waiting on a file review. Tomorrow I’ll go through all the bug-hunt files that came in after Monday through midnight today, and do the ebook versions. Those will almost certainly take a couple days.

  • Okay. The print version bug-hunt on WARPAINT is done

    Dragging my dizzy self (awful vertigo today) into the office to do the page PDF version for CreateSpace, and then do the finishing touches on the cover art. 😀 Mammoth, massive, huge, enormous thanks to the people who spent a big chunk of their weekend and Monday bug-hunting the book for me. You were awesome.

  • Getting close on the WARPAINT bug hunt. #wabwm

    I’m down to the final bug-sheet sent in on time for the print version, and my objective is to get the print version into CreateSpace today. It’ll take a few days to become available for purchase, during which time I’ll go over the remaining bug sheets, and add in any additional corrections found on those,…

  • Doing WARPAINT print version final corrections today #wabwm

    My readers burned the midnight oil, and a bunch of them got their bug-hunt finds in to me. I spent the weekend AWAY from the book so I would be able to actually see it today. Did what was to have been a cool promo video for WARPAINT instead—except, A) it was dumb, and B)…

  • The Morning After… WARPAINT now going out to second batch of readers

    First, I apologize for the broken link. It’s the first time in more than a year that I’ve typed one in by hand, then failed to test it. So of course, it would die. Second, in spite of the link typo, I have a couple more than nine volunteers to read WARPAINT. 😉 So here’s…

  • Nine Reviewer Openings for Warpaint.

    WARPAINT is done, edited, almost ready Of my original 25 folks who signed up to review Hunting The Corrigan’s Blood, sixteen moved to semi-permanent reviewer status. Nine dropped out for various reasons (or no given reason). Which leaves 9 openings for NEW reviewers for WARPAINT, the second Cadence Drake novel. So here’s the deal If…

  • The WARPAINT edit is DONE!

    I’ll do my Publication Checklist, and get ARCs out to my reviewers as quickly after that tomorrow. WARPAINT came out at 102,686 words, which is a SOLID novel. Doing my many backups now, and then the page-numbered PDF so I can find typos.

  • Nope. Second assault on Mt. Manuscript today. #wabwm #warpaint

    I made progress yesterday, but didn’t even come close to hitting THE END of WARPAINT. The new chapter I wrote to replace an old one killed the attempt. So. Today, instead of trying the North Face approach, I’m going to go up the West Ridge. 😀 Anyway. 8:06 AM, and going again. Read with hunger,…
