Updates and news
The Trouble with Demons news: I got an email on Friday afternoon from my editor Anne Sowards at Ace Books. She loved the edits I did for The Trouble with Demons, so that book is DONE. WOOT!! The next step is copy editing (checking for spelling and grammar), and then it'll be typeset. I hope to be posting the first couple of chapters as a Christmas present for you all. And hopefully in the next few weeks, my publisher's art department will have the final version of the cover ready. Believe me, as soon as I get it, I'll post it here. This cover is amazing; words cannot describe how much I love it.
Bewitched & Betrayed update: I finished Chapter 1 late yesterday, and have a jump start on Chapter 2. Typically the first couple chapters of a book are tough for me -- building up my writing momentum, I guess. Since I'm just getting started, I'll probably only be able to do a chapter a week; but once I get the book going, I'll need to go to two chapters a week. Not easy, but necessary when I'm due to deliver the book in eight months.
And a reminder for those of you in the Raleigh/Durham, NC, area -- My booksigning at the Cary, NC, Barnes & Noble is tomorrow night at 7:00. Fantasy author James Maxey and Sci-Fi author Mark Van Name will be signing with me, and we'll all be discussing our books and answering questions.
Coming up tomorrow: How writing a book is the ultimate mind puzzle.

So...do we get a peek at Mychael and/or Tam on the cover of the next one? Or are you going to let it be a surprise. :)
Cool to hear The Trouble with Demons is moving onto the next step in the process. :) Oh, and the cover, can't wait to see what they do with Raine next.
Have a great day!
Yay for progress with TWD! Do you ever get panicky about not finishing to a deadline? Or are all the deadlines reasonable?
Looking forward to chapters and a front cover!
I think every author gets panicky about deadlines -- at least I haven't met one who doesn't. ; ) I have to deliver B&B in eight months. That's tight.
Laurie,
No Mychael or Tam on the cover, but go back a few entries in my blog -- I have an artist doing oil paintings of both of them.
Oops, Lisa. Missed that post. Can't wait to see the artwork. :)
