Volume II Update

It has taken a long time to sort through publishing options for Volume II in The Alarai Chronicles series, VOYAGE TO ZOMAR (Songs of Deep Green). The first step, however, was simply deciding whether to publish or not. It required time and reflection to decide where my heart was. In the end it became clear that it was very important both to publish the books already written in the series and to finish writing those waiting attention. Here's why.

I am certain of very few things in this life, and certain of nothing that seems readily apparent. The quality of the books in this series, all of them, is one of those few things. I am certain that they have a contribution to make, if nothing more than a great read that, for a period, allows one to travel to a land where daily cares may slip away. And yet, there is much more here for those who wish to seek it.

The cover for VOYAGE is largely complete, the MS needs a final thorough edit, and then it's off to typesetting and printing. Publication date? Can't say for sure at this time, but I think not long after the turn of the year.

I plan to purchase software that will make editing my website quite easy so I can update the Home Page more often. Drop in from the time to time. I hope to post images as the publication date approaches and will ask my webmaster to do a major overhaul of the Index Page graphics.

Thanks to those who have emailed me about Volume II. That prodding served to get me off the mark along with input from a person I really respect.

Cheers!
