As you probably already know, Of Sea and Shadow and Of Shadow and Sea were released yesterday! Now it's time for me to freak out and quiver in fear for a few days! What fun!

Everyone who's reading this, thanks for keeping up with me and giving me a shot. Before House of Blades, I never imagined that I'd be entertaining anyone by telling stories. I sort of assumed I'd be teaching middle school English while writing a novel on a typewriter in the attic.

Now people actually care to read what I write, and that's pretty amazing. It's more than I ever asked for.

So thanks! If you do read either version of OSAS, let me know. I'd be happy to hear from you.

And, you know, if you did leave a review, that would be mighty cool of you.

As always, thanks for reading!

The first two books in the Elder Empire have been uploaded and are on schedule to release tomorrow, December 30th! Joy to the world!

Enjoy!

Every once in a while, Amazon tells you that they won't do something, and then they do it anyway.

But hey, they've unexpectedly put my two Elder Empire books up for pre-order! If I had known it would happen, I would have announced it, but I didn't! It's a Christmas miracle!

Of Sea and Shadow!

Of Shadow and Sea!

And then here's the content of the blog post I was GOING to give you today: the final version of the Sea cover, which just came back from the graphic design hospital! Enjoy!

Here we are at the end of 2014, everyone, and I'd like to close out the year by releasing two books simultaneously.

December 30th, 2014, you will be able to read the first parallel books in the Elder Empire series: Of Sea and Shadow and Of Shadow and Sea.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to last-minute edits.

Happy New Year!

It's getting closer...

Soon, now. Soon.

Basically, I don't have a solid release date for the same reason that I haven't posted a blog update in two weeks: because I've been working as hard as I can. In the next few days, I'll know whether Of Sea and Shadow and its twin will be released this month or next month.


But either way, it's coming in a few weeks.

Gird thy loins.
