Some day I will write a book in full, start to finish. This is not that day, this is not that book.

[lagilman]

3,945 new words for the day, and I'm calling it: the structural draft for Bonnie/PSI #3 is done, two days ahead of my self-imposed deadline*.

It's trailing plot-threads, and way too short, but there is a beginning, a middle, and an end, complete with pacing, motivation, and ass getting kicked. And, if I do say so myself, a killer ending line.


Now I get to finish going over the proofs for Bonnie/PSI #1, and then do the reread on Bonnie/PSI#2, and... someday very soon, you'll get to read all three, in 9 month intervals. I do hope you have fun with them...

Here's a peek at the cover for #1: HARD MAGIC



If I can finish off the freelance gig this afternoon, I'm done for the year. Yayyyzzzzzz....




*the actual due date for the editor-ready draft is 2/15

I feel blessed.

There's no photo. Just a blank white box with a teeny red x in the upper left corner. :( Don't I get to see it?

It may be your browser rather than my post, since it's coming up clear here. Sorry...

ooh yay! Good cover! Hooray!

[threeoutside.livejournal.com]

No problem. I'll try later when I'm at home.

Can I just say one thing?

I absolutely freaking LOVE the cover art for your books!!!! It reminds me of Luis Royo's stuff, that airhrushed feel, the way the characters look so real in fantastical settings.

[lagilman]

Yeah, they've done me proud. This isn't (I don't think) the same artist as the Retrievers series, but they've kept the feel, even as they "gritted" it up for the different feel. Am quite pleased, despite the crystals looking more like D&D dice. *wince*

Nice cover--brava!

I can't wait.

:) BTW, I've added your details to the links page on my site. I have 0 people reading it, but I figure if anyone stumbles across the site by accident, reads the links, they'll see your name there :) maybe. :P

Thank you! :-D
