A Word Please

I have placed an excerpt from my upcoming novel Beyond Salvation on my website! The book should be available by the first of October.

This is the grand unveiling of my new novel, Beyond Salvation! I have approved the proof, so this book should be available in just a couple of weeks!

Today I received my proof copy of Beyond Salvation. One step closer to publication! I’m going to pass it around and get some opinions before I approve it (although I happen to love to cover!). Once it’s a sure thing, I’ll post the cover here for its grand unveiling.

Here is the blurb from the back of my upcoming novel, Beyond Salvation:

A teenage runaway disappears from the streets. The only people that care, or even notice, are her two best friends who are also runaways. For reasons of their own, they can’t go to the police for help.

They seek out Michael Sykora, a software designer by day and hit man by night. Known on the streets as The Ghost, Michael has a reputation for taking on the twisted criminals. Rapists. Child molesters. He has never been hired to find the lost. Until now.

Michael teams up with ex-prostitute Nicki and full-time hit man Sean. Together they bend the rules of the justice system in order to find a young girl few people care about. In the process, they uncover a world where salvation comes with a price tag and God’s words are used to incite fear in a congregation of believers.

Recently, I had the absolutely amazing luck of “meeting” (in the virtual sense) Lisa Fisk. She is one of those rare, truly giving people we all wish we had in our lives. Lisa lent me her editing talent for my upcoming book, Beyond Salvation. I freely admit, editing is not my forte. Lisa, I am forever in your debt!

I’m currently working on the cover design for my upcoming novel Beyond Salvation. I’ve already decided against the cover design I thought I wanted. I didn’t like the way it looked once I actually had it done. So much for that! It may take awhile but eventually I’ll come up with something eye-catching that goes with the plot. (I hope!)

I’ve been working on formatting my upcoming novel, Beyond Salvation. It’s a tedious process but not one that requires a tremendous amount of thought and attention. I needed a break before I go over the whole novel for one final edit. Formatting may be tedious but editing is truly mind-melting!

I have been working on the final edit for my upcoming novel, now titled Beyond Salvation. I have to say that I do not enjoy this process! It’s so incredibly tedious and truly takes the fun out of reading. Someday I will have an editor to pass this job on to (and I will truly worship that person for doing what I hate!). However, for now, I will plug along in my editing process and hope I don’t miss too much along the way.

The working title of my upcoming novel has been Lost And Found. While the title works for the plot, I’ve never been completely happy with it. I don’t think it has that draw to grab a reader’s’ attention. I’ve come up with a new title: Beyond Salvation. If the feedback is good, that one will probably stick.

I picked out what I think will be the cover photo for my upcoming novel Lost And Found. Designing the cover is always fun. I enjoy putting the finishing touches on my writing creations.

Once I’ve made everything final, I’ll unveil the cover here first. So stay tuned!
