Yes, I know it's been a few weeks, but trust me, life has been crazy busy & I've been spending what free time I've got writing The Hunter. I assume you'd prefer that over a blog post every night, right? ;)
OK, so a few bits of news:
1- You can now get War of the Seasons, book one: The Human on iBooks. YAY!
2- The map on the Nook version of The Human has finally been fixed. If you archive the book & then re-download it, it should show up for you now.
3- @Petullant on twitter has been live tweeting as she reads The Human. I've found it quite funny, but then perhaps I'm a bit biased... You can see an archive of her tweets on this (and other book reviews) here: http://www.bookshopgirl.net/ Example tweet: I'm not saying we need Team Elf! & Team Faerie Prince! tees but I'm decorating mine with glitter & a pic of a threatening dagger on the back and Most valuable thing I have that my dad gave to me is a kitchen aid mixer. Any quests of mine better be successful by the baking of brownies!
4- Thanks for the shout out SirensCon!
5- Speaking of cons, I was just added as a guest to GMX in Nashville, this October - hope to see you there!
6- How about one link about self-publishing (or rather, Entrepreneurial Publishing)? This one's a short one, but I found it interesting...
7- The Hunter, what I know you all really want to hear about, is coming along nicely. I'm about 25K words in ~ 1/4 of the way done with the first draft. I've got a progress bar on the right side of this website that I update almost nightly, so you can check and see how things are progressing. I also tweet random updates, so check me out there too.

Thank you. :)
I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to everyone who has read my book & taken the time to let me know what they think, whether it be through a comment here, on facebook, or via email. Your support and excitement over the War of the Seasons series is infectious & definitely keeps me writing!
Just as a heads up, I wanted to let you know some tentative publishing dates for further installments of the War of the Seasons series. I've written a couple short stories that explore the back story of a few of the side characters - namely, Almera, Eánna, Milton, and Eilath. The first short story will come out in October 2011, and the second one in April 2012. These will be digital releases only, available for .99 cents. The Hunter, book two in the War of the Seasons series, should be ready for release, both digitally and physically in June of 2012.
One quick favor to ask of you all - if you liked The Human, please spread the word to your friends via email, twitter, text, facebook, or just old fashioned talking. ;) Also, please consider leaving a review for it on amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com, and/or goodreads.com. As this book is self-published, whether it "makes it" will be entirely due to you, and the awesome power of social media. For those of you already doing this, thank you so much! :)
That said, guess I'd better get back to writing The Hunter!
