Crystal Palace: The Coming Storm has been published!!!

As promised, here is my Sunday evening update. I have worked tirelessly over the past few days to get everything with the website prepared, including sample pages for all of the works that I am releasing (Crystal Palace, The Mines, Crashing From Heaven, The Outcast & The Survivor Chapter 1, The Dead Seas, The Tradesman, and A Journey South) as well as finalized cover designs.

Now while I prepared everything, I still need to do one final proof for each of these (except for Crystal Palace - see next paragraph). So instead of forcing them all out at once, I'm going to release one a day over the next week (when I say release, I mean both the samples on the website and the Kindle and Nook versions). In addition, there are a couple things around the site that I'm working on still (like graphics that I'm trying to refine). You may notice them, you may not. Overall, I'm loving how the site and everything looks and am excited to go on living a much more normal life in which I do more writing and editing than web and graphic design.

CRYSTAL PALACE!!! This, my golden egg that I've been warming beneath my bum for several months until it was just right, has now finally been published on Amazon for Kindle and softcover copies as well as on Barnes & Noble for the Nook. It should be listed and available tomorrow for the e-copies (though Nook sometimes takes slightly longer than Kindle), and softcover copies will be available later this week (I'll update on when of course). Once they're up on Barnes & Noble and Amazon, I'll update the links on the site and begin much more massive marketing efforts.

It's an exciting yet terrifying time. The thing I look forward to most, however, is simply moving on to my next stories. I've been sitting on a 50,000 word outline of Destiny for over a year, and now I'll be able to finally start drafting! I also look forward to working on a bunch of other shorter works and essays, as well as other aspects of graphic and web design. I've said this to people before, but those of you who follow me from this point forward really are going to be joining me for a journey, so I hope you keep up to date and let people know, because there are few if any young authors doing the things that I'm doing, and I feel that the results speak for themselves.

Expect another update in the next couple days!!
