<i>The Gray Blade: Last of the Holy Hound Trilogy</i> is now available on Amazon.com through the link provided above. Thank you all for following me this far, though most of the fans I know are out there are not quite the blogging type. That's fine by me, just so long as by books brought something good to the table. Thank you again. Keep reading and I will continue to write.andredanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02962998983937278707noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582635344193729123.post-70991362681024309182014-03-28T18:13:00.001-07:002014-03-28T18:13:27.783-07:00Book 3 is due July 2015The last of the Holy Hound Trilogy is "The Gray Blade" and it is being written bit by bit, so that it may be put through the process of publication in time for fall 2015, two years after the second "The Golden Heart."<br />
<br />
The third book is going to be an escalation of dynamic events, where they team is very much the "under dogs." Pardon the pun.<br />
<br />
Adwen is horrifically damaged from the run in with Sycan. As you have probably noticed by now, titles of chapters and such tend to hint to things. The book title is no exception. Thought I would add the mystery to the plate. Have fun and I look forward to attending book signings in the future. Any to take place will be notated on this blog and through the facebook page.<br />
<br />

The next step is for the basic edits to begin before the manuscript is copyrighted and then sent to a BETTER editor than the last one. The author is currently working on the illustrations, which will have a richer aesthetic.<br />
<br />
The book titled "The Golden Heart" is sure to surface for sale some time between now and August 2013.<br />
<br />

This means that the books are more likely to become traditionally published in order to be found on shelves everywhere. Wish her luck! She is going to need it!andredanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02962998983937278707noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582635344193729123.post-87408310891061743792012-03-04T14:42:00.000-08:002012-03-04T14:42:00.820-08:00March UpdateCurrently, there is one Literary Agency who has not replied to my query letter. It was sent in the beginning of February, but this long wait was expected. The search for an agent continues.<br />
<br />
The second book, "<u>The Golden Heart</u>" is mostly completed. The outline has 37 chapters listed and I am in the middle of chapter 27. It is very possible that the book could be finished by the end of summer 2012. Things that tend to interfere are school, work, family events, chores, sleep schedule, etc. I am an artist but that doesn't mean I am required to be starving. All that's really needed is a little time whenever it can be spared.<br />
<br />
Lastly, I made friends with an interesting individual. A man by the name of Robert Cole is in Medford and was a script writer while in Hollywood some time back. His incredible script held up productions on <u>Terminator 3</u> for a whole year because the production heads couldn't decide either to use it or go with the crummy script they already possessed. In the end, they went with the crummy one. I know this because I read this supposed script. It was sensational!!! This man has given me some advice on how to promote my own work without spending a dime.<br />
<br />
At the moment I am juggling writing the second installment as well as preparing for an eventual YouTube video. For this I will need to have good video interviews with people who have already become fans so that the clips may be neatly put together with shots of illustrations and flash shots of the book pages turning. This project is going to be very time consuming, but that doesn't matter so long as the end product is just right.<br />
<br />
That's it for now. Time to get back to work.<br />
I salute you, Reader! ; )andredanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02962998983937278707noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582635344193729123.post-40420950875071323532012-02-07T14:20:00.000-08:002012-02-07T14:20:00.917-08:00Thus Far: RevisitedProgress with the First book sales have slowed down a lot, but I am not discouraged. Near the end of last year I was able to get in touch with James Cameron's assistant. Through her, I was then able to get in touch with the Feature Development Director of "Legendary Entertainment". When I contacted him to discuss my book he said he was curious, but that it was against company policy to view the book since I did not have an agent.<br />
<br />
This means I am now in search of an agent to help The Holy Hound Trilogy go to the next level, wherever that may be. By getting an agent this could mean my book may get into the traditional publishing machine and end up on book shelves across America or end up in the hands of one of the best film production companies of our time. Getting an agent is going to be a challenge. (One I am going to pursue to the end)<br />
<br />
I salute you reader.

The author is about to leave her military life in Virginia behind and return to her roots in Oregon! She is due to arrive in the month of May and begin college in September for an arts degree. This means that anyone in the Josephine county could have the opportunity to get a signed copy in the future! Visit the webpage to learn more and go to the "contact me" page for sending her questions.

My Grannie Anne has taken a copy to a local paper about writers and my web page is now up and running (as you can see the link at the top of the page). Things are starting slow, as predicted, but I'm not going to stop at this point. In early May I will be back in Grant's Pass, Oregon to restart my civilian life with my real family! When I get there my plan is to begin an aggressive single-handed promotion campaign. That means I will be selling books by hand to start and signing whatever copy comes to me. <br />
<br />
