I’m not a big one for a lot of talk
and promises, but…after a lot of talk and promises, the seventh SKINNERS book
has finally been released! It took a bit longer for it to appear on Barnes
& Noble, but I’m guessing that was just some weird computer holdup or
something. The important thing is that Forged from Ash is out and ready to be
read. So…go and download a copy! It’s also on Kindle and Smashwords.
For those of you who have read it,
I’d appreciate you leaving a review at the site where you purchased it. That
really does help an ebook along. Some of you have commented that this one ended
with some loose ends and to that, I plead GUILTY. Now that I’m able to get my
books out there again, I can continue running my series how I like. I’ve always
seen this as a series that rolls along and evolves without everything wrapping
up nicely at the end of each book. To accommodate this, I need to approach
publication of the series in a new way. Fortunately, I can now do that. For
Skinners, the plan is to write shorter books and release more of them per year.
It took a while to get settled with a new cover artist, new publisher
(Crossroad Press has been amazing!) and a new way of doing things. I’ve also
been busy with other stuff, but now I’m rollin’ and things are looking good.
Ideally, I’d like to put out three
Skinners books a year. I’ve also got other series to work on and I’d like to
get them all chugging away as well. I’ll keep you updated on those. When it
comes to the next Skinners book, I’m shooting for a release date somewhere around
February or March of 2014. Until then, stay in touch and thanks for sticking
with me. I’m doing my best to make you all glad you did!
