Where Did The Summer Go...

I mean seriously, where in the hell did it go. To be brutally honest with you all, I am nowhere near where I expected to be with the third book. I'm just not, and that has me quite upset with myself. I'm only nine chapters in. I should be a lot further along.

The unfortunate truth is that this summer has been a nightmare, fueled solely on Murphy's Law for my family.

But you're not here to hear me complain so I will throw some best guess dates at you and hope for the best.

I am still hoping to have A Walk Beyond The Breach done this year. Maybe even a holiday release (if I had an editor I'd be in trouble). Keep your fingers crossed, and offer up a small sacrifice to whichever deity you hold favor with (not really but you know what I mean ;-)

As for The Eldritch Life of Leopold Torpid, I will get to it as soon as I'm finished with the one above. I gave up trying to write both at the same time as soon as the poop hit the fan in my little slice of the universe. Believe it or not though I actually have nearly the entire first chapter written for it. And every couple of week I read through it just to keep the ideas flowing around it. I really can't wait to get back to it as it is just so twisted and beautiful in my eyes. An indulgent depravity that sets my short hairs a tingling.

Anyway, just trying to keep you abreast of the situation on my end. I hope everything in your world is running smoother than mine.
Catch ya later.

Thought I'd Share...

 

Since I already shared the possible cover for book 3 without the title and such, I thought I'd do the same with the first two books.

If you couldn't tell I prefer lots of color to the usual monochromatic, mist laden bleak castles, and dark brooding warrior with a sword, type of pictures. Not that I'm saying there is anything wrong with those types of pictures. It's just not what I see when I write.

Hope you all have a great day,

The Problems With Old Gear...

What do you do when the elastic bands on your microphone's shock mount lose their elasticity?
You improvise of course. The little rubber bands I use on my beard work great when I double them up. Good as new.

Now back to getting the best sound I can for the audio books.

Have a great one,
Steve G.

The Enigmatic Guardian...

I know the books describe the Guardian as having the head of a ram with curved horns and the body of a man, but I know in my mind sometimes a description just isn't enough. In some cases I enjoy physically seeing what somebody meant. So in response to that I thought I would share what my vision of the Guardian looks like.

And just to let you know, these are still kind of works in progress. Full body shots will be coming as soon as I finish rigging the body in Blender so I can pose him. As these are actually pictures of a full 3D figure, and not drawings. I've been working on the Guardian model since December 2014, when my eldest daughter asked if I could draw him. No, I can't draw, but I can do this.

I hope everyone enjoys.
