When it rains…
…well, for those along the Mississippi river valley, I’ll nip that river metaphor right in the bud.
But needless to say, there seems to be a lot of book news in the air this spring!
Earlier today, Wayne Thomas Batson and I got a verbal release from Thomas Nelson – who previously declined their option to press it – to write and release Book 3 of The Berinfell Prophecies on our own!
This is a big win for the countless fans we have who’ve been with us in a long holding pattern, patiently awaiting the third installment. It’s no exaggeration to say we get numerous emails every week – if not daily at times – wondering “where is it?” It’s also a win for us because we feel like we have a really good 3 book in the pipeline.
We anticipate fleshing out the plot by early summer and starting in on writing in July. If all goes well, fans of COTSK and VAS could have their third book in time for Christmas! It will be released initially as an ebook with print versions following.
Thanks to all the Elves who’ve walked this road with us! ch:
As of 12:10am this morning, Wayne and I officially finished Book 1 of The Bernifell Prophecies for Thomas Nelson Publishing: Curse of The Spider King. What a weight off! We had a little web-cam celebration and I thought I’d share the screen shot with you. Thanks for everyone’s incredible support on FaceBook and Twitter. The book’s release date has actually been bumped up to the week before Halloween! So we’re very excited for the marketing buzz that will create. For more information, you can visit the new website Jason Clement just set up for us at http://www.heedtheprophecies.com We’ll be adding an in-depth site shortly, complete with a media page, videos, and a forum. So stay tuned! Check out Wayne’s content-rich site, too, while you’re at it. (Real links for everything in this post to follow on Tuesday as my internet connection tonight is about as slow as a 3-toed sloth trying to scratch his back).
