BANE OF ALL THINGS: Cover reveal!
          
          Good morning, folks! It’s with great pleasure and excitement that I reveal, at long last, the cover for Bane of All Things. I have also finally landed on a title for what’s planned to be a four-book series – A Silence of Worlds. 
          
          It’s been a long time coming, this cover reveal – decades, even. I’ve had plenty of ideas over the years of what could be the cover for this story, drifting between a particular tense action scene, or some dramatic posing of my main characters.
          
          With designer Tim Barber of Dissect Designs and the input of the team at Inkshares, we have arrived at something a bit different than the typical epic fantasy cover. This locale, Dragon's Claw Abbey, features prominently in the first half of the book. I hope you approve.
          
          Now it’s time for the ARCs (advance readers copies) to go out. If you are interested in being an advance reader/reviewer, just let me know.
          
          I can’t wait until November when the final product will be available to you! (Pre-orders can be placed now, on Amazon or at www.inkshares.com/books/bane-of-all-things.)
          
          Cheers

Howdy, everyone. Just an FYI that my novel seen here on Wattpad, Bane of All Things, will be released by publisher Inkshares on Nov. 9 of this year. You can now find it on Amazon for pre-order.
          
          In the coming months, I will be updating you on the latest news as launch day nears -- including the reveal of the final cover (the current one is just a placeholder).

Happy new year, everyone.
          
          I am currently running a crowdfunding campaign on Inkshares for my epic fantasy novel, Bane of All Things. Inkshares is a crowdfunding book publisher than only publishes books chosen by readers. If I can muster enough support through pre-orders, follows, likes and reads, Inkshares will publish the book. To date, Inkshares has published about 120 titles, many of which have gone on to become bestsellers and secure movie and TV deals. 
          
          This carries no risk for supporters -- if Bane of All Things doesn't muster enough support to be published, anyone who pre-ordered gets a refund.
          
          Bane of All Things is currently leading on Inkshares as the top title in funding and the second-most reader-recommended title overall, but it still has a long way to go. This is also a fundraiser for Autism Ontario on behalf of my autistic son and nephews.
          
          You can read the first two chapters here on Wattpad and also visit my Inkshares's page to learn more about the story and lend your support at https://www.inkshares.com/books/bane-of-all-things

Good day! The Sword and the Skull has made the cut (or at least, the first 250 words has) and is a finalist for Authoress Anonymous's annual Baker's Dozen Agent Auction, which starts this Friday. If you are not familiar with it, her site is a great resource for writers. Check it out: http://misssnarksfirstvictim.blogspot.ca/

Thanks to all of you who've taken the time to read the first chapters of The Sword and the Skull. If you have any feedback to share about the story thus far, why it appeals to you, why it doesn't, what works, or what doesn't, I would love to hear from you. Like every writer, I need insightful feedback to help me get the words right.
          
          Cheers
