And we're off...

The manuscript for The Seven has been submitted to the publisher. The contract has been signed and sent. In 6 to 8 weeks (or thereabouts), I should receive the first proof of the hard copy. As of today, the novel is on track for a late June release.

Stay tuned.

I'm going to be working on some promo art soon, and I hope to get some banner .jpgs up and available for website placement as soon as I can.

In other news, Craig Johnson's new novel, The Dark Horse, is due out at the end of May. Get a copy. I'm sure it will be gold.

I watched "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist" last night. It made me wish I had been a teenager in New York. Adventures like that just don't happen in the Midwest. Usually, we're too busy shining raccoons and drinking beer to do cool stuff like search for an after-hours concert.

But, I kid because I love.

The sequel to The Seven is started. I very much enjoy the characters that I created for this novel, so I'm enjoying writing the sequel right now. As of this moment, the working title for the sequel is The Seven: Phase 2.0

But, that may change.

Make sure you check the Facebook page and the MySpace page for more details about all upcoming projects and appearances.
