Small Delay in Publication

I just learned that Touch of Fate will not be coming out until November 30th, not November 15th as I originally announced. I am not entirely sure what the delays are, but I believe that Twilight Times is releasing a large number of books in the next couple of months and this big push is taking longer than expected. I hope you will be patient with me through this short delay….the book is still coming soon!

Final edits and cover art

I know I’ve left everyone hanging for a while. It seems that when there is nothing going on I have all the time in the world to update my blog and when things are happening, I have no time.I have received the final, copy edited version of Touch of Fate for release on ebook ??? soon. All we lack now is the cover art. And now I will admit that it is my fault that the book has not yet been released. I vetoed the first cover art I saw because I had failed to properly communicate my vision of Marianne (the main character) to the artist. With luck, that has been corrected and the second cover art I receive will be wonderful.

I am glad that I have artistic control over the cover art. That is one advantage of working with a small press. I knew the moment I saw the first picture that it was not right and I dreaded telling my publisher, but there were no problems at all. So far, Twilight Times Books has been great to work with.
