I know, it seems a little hokey, but there's not much else to show right now. This is an example of the copyright page. I just did a quick copy and paste. Hopefully when I get sent a copy of what the cover is going to look like then I can paste an example of that onto this blog. All indications are that that may happen very soon. Possible this week

Until then I will keep on writing. I'm just over 20,000 words in the sequel. That's about 100 pages. The story is getting good. It even surprises me when the story develops like it does.

Later, Brad

Keeping it updated...

I really had to add this one last illustration to make the collection complete. This is another one that Corey did to replace the one of the Captain arriving on his small fishing boat. It's a little scarier, but I think it conveys just how creepy that particular chapter is. Please note the weird eyes of Mr. Roberts and the tree behind him that appears to have arms reaching around him... ooooooooh! Scaary!

So far everything is up to date as far as the release of the book. I should be receiving a "Proof" within the next couple of weeks. When I get that I'll be able to see what the actual cover is going to look like as well as the inside page with all of the copyright information included. I'll also be able to see the first 100 pages or so, just to get an idea of what the layout is going to look like... very exciting.

All indications are that the book will be released in mid June, but if there are any changes I'll be sure to let everyone know.
I had a fairly successful spring break because I made a few very positive contacts with some bookstores in the Truckee, Lake Tahoe area. My hope is that I'll be able to do some book signings there is the summer. But again, I'll be sure to keep everyone updated.

So until then, keep reading.

Publishing at last!

I really wanted to add this latest illustration by Corey. He is so Amazing.

Last week the decision to publish with Dog Ear Publishing, a company out of Indianapolis, was made. I am very excited. I've been in contact with the publisher dude who has put me to work gathering and formatting my material. Today I finally sent in the files. I was waiting for Corey to put the finishing touches on two of the five illustrations that will be included in the book. He worked under a bit of pressure to get them done, but as you can see, he's done a great job. Corey's art work will also become the cover design.

What a team!

If all goes well the book will be out and ready for distribution sometime around June. I will keep you all updated on Website info., ordering info., and book signing info. So stay tuned.

Thanks for your support,
Brad

The Courage of the Captain

"Peter Roberts raised his hands into the air as if he were summoning the wind to blow and the sky to fall. His head lifted too and he began to shout as if the river and the fields were his congregation of devoted listeners. "For ye were sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the shepherd and bishop of your soul!"

Lowering his hands and arms, he smiled, his mouth turned up into a grin, but his eyes revealing nothing but scorn. "We've been waiting for you, Bartholomew," Roberts said calmly, his pale skin outlining the black, depthless eyes that mirrored a kind of pleasure in his taunt. " Yes, Bartholomew, we've been waiting a long time, almost thirty years now. It's good of you to finally show up."

A Silouette at the Door

The light coming in from the top of the stairs was blocked by a large silhouetted figure. Its abrupt appearance loomed before them like a dark specter from some insane nightmare.

"You'll not be findin' anything in there that'll help ya'," the voice from the open door said. "If it's answers you're lookin' for, you've come to the wrong place."

"His legs felt light and powerful. His breathing became deep and clear. He felt as if he could leap over the highest tree, or run at incredible speed. The strength he felt as he extended his arms over his head with the twenty-four stones cradled in his hands enabled him with this power. He felt clean and pure.

Hold the stones high. Let their light shine and live."

Zeke Proper and the Sacrifice at Alder Cove

"Taylre was becoming annoyed. Mr. Roberts' manner was too robotic, his smile, she could see, was fake, and there was no doubt in her mind that something iniquitous was going on in the room behind him. In fact, her intuition suggested that Mr. Roberts' job at this very moment was to keep her away at all costs. This was the most disturbing thing of all." - Excerpt from the novel Zeke Proper and the Sacrifice at Alder Cove
