Just so ya all know. The reason why I haven't been posting on here is that I've been super busy.

But please note. I'm not all that heartless. So to make up for my lack of posting, I just wanted to all let you know that one of my books has been published! I've been pretty secretive about it for many reasons.

Reason number one:
I don't like being pestered about release dates and stuff of that nature. In the words of Michelangelo. I'll be done when I am finished, or something like that.

Reason number two, well...to be honest, I just wanted it to be a surprise. So are ya surprised?

Yep. *Happy dance* Fun stuff. Lots of work. I had to trim the book down from a HUGE (I mean really fat wordy manuscript into a thin little thing)
I suppose it went on the slim-slow diet. Cuz it wasn't fast getting down to size.

In order to slim it down I had to kill off several of my characters.
Then I had to change the ending. So it went from a sort of sad ending, to a happy one. From really scary characters---very involved book, to a pretty easy read, not so involved, much shorter, and a happy ending.

I think I would be safe to say that at I cut at least 200-300 plus pages.
Yeah. Really not cool. But sometimes even books have to loose weight.

Hmmm...what else do I need post on here. Oh, now I remember. My Book just got the look inside feature added to it! If anybody is curious about what it looks like on the inside, there ya go. :)
Oh, and if anybody is curious, yes I've got lots of my art illustrations all through the book.
It would make a good Christmas gift for people who like YA fiction or those who have kids at home and need a good family read aloud. If you are feeling the Christmas Spirit, and happen to like it, then tell your friends about it. If ya don't, well...then I guess you can go sit on a hump and eat stinkbugs.

Also, for you fantasy people. I'm working on my fantasy series. About a ex gardener who sets out to rid the world of the most deadliest of weeds. Some Organic, others cosmic, so stay tuned. Because this is my magnum opus.

Andrew And The Quest Of Orion's belt. Book one (Very exciting)
Rise of the forgotten star.

Book two
Andrew And The Quest Of Orion's Belt. (Even more exciting)
The Canvas War

Andrew and the Quest of Orion's Belt. (Very super exciting-ess)
The Last Summoning.


Note: these names are subject to change. I do not have these all finished, but I like to think that I'm getting closer.

So. Yeah. Go buy my book. You know you want too.

Cheers,

Just in case you were wondering, wishes do come true after all. Sometimes we just have to work a little harder to make it so.
