Updates from Around the Writersphere
A while back I reviewed Steven Harper’s book Nightmare, the second of his Silent Empire series. The books have been out of print for a while, so Harper is making the first book available for the Kindle as an experiment. You can pick up Dreamers for the low price of $1.79 $1.43! (significantly cheaper than any of mine 😛 ).
Greg Wilson, a friend of mine, just had his first book come out from Five Star. The Third Sign [Amazon | Mysterious Galaxy] is fairly classic epic fantasy. As some of you know, Goblin Quest started out as a Five Star release, so I’ve got a soft spot for them. You can read the first three chapters of Wilson’s book at his web site.
In my own ever-thrilling life, I figured out how to rotate quotes on my web site, so I’m putting up quotes from my various books and stories. Will the excitement never end? If you’ve got a favorite line from one of my characters, please let me know and I’ll try to get it added to the rotation.
Finally, just to dispel the myth that we famous authors (ha!) get it right the first time through, here’s a glimpse of page one of Red Hood’s Revenge. Please remember this is the second draft, marked up in preparation for the third.

Ha! For a second draft, that’s light editing. It’s not until my third or fourth draft that the page begins to look like it wasn’t mauled by bears with red pens (and I’m getting better, my third draft is about where my eighth draft was four years ago).
