M. K. Baxley: A Man in Want of a Wife

So, guys, an update on what I've been working on:

Recently I finished going through M. K. Baxley's 'A Man in Want of a Wife.' This is her newest book. If you're not following her series, 'A Man in Want of a Wife' is the story of how Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy met and courted. It's beautiful and romantic and it actually brought tears to my eyes. Darcy really had to work for Elizabeth, and this story is an accounting of all he went through. It has a different ending than 'The Mistress's Black Veil', and it is a retelling of that book but from Darcy's point of view.

Stay tuned for more info!

'Seeds of Corruption' by Jason Tesar

As promised, I'm revealing what I've been working. I just wrapped up editing the fourth book in Jason Tesar's The Awakened Series, which will be titled Seeds of Corruption. You can read about it and look at the awesome cover art over at Jason's website.

For those of you not familiar with the series, Jason wrote a post on where you can get the books. There are updated versions of the books available, featuring new content.  I proofread the first three books in the series and wrote about them here.

I am thrilled that the fourth book focuses so much on Adair and discloses so many things that were unclear in the first three books. The prophecy of the Awakened is explained further, and we also start to see a clearer picture of what's really going on with the worlds and how they came to be in the first place.

The book is due out in June. Jason Tesar is currently hosting a giveaway, giving his fans the chance to win a hard copy of Seeds of Corruption! Go here to check out the details. Good luck!

I'm alive and about to work with Joseph Lallo again!

Hello readers! I know it's been forever since I posted. I've been hard at work on several projects and have just wrapped up a few. Within the next few days I'll update you on what I've been working on, but for now I'd like to mention a project I'll be starting next week: Joseph Lallo's new book!

As you may know, Joseph Lallo was the one who started my career by letting me prove myself. He's been supportive ever since, providing glowing references every time a new client requests them. Now the time has come for me to show my gratitude. He's entrusted me with the next book he's publishing.

Joseph's 'The Book of Deacon Trilogy' were the first books I worked on. The series has many awesome characters. I have to say my favorite one is Deacon, but a second favorite is definitely Lain. Lain is closely intertwined with the main character, Myranda, throughout the series. He's definitely the most badass character there, but despite the fact that he plays such a prominent role throughout the trilogy, details of his origin are scarce. Hints and snippets of the troubled life he's had until that point are present throughout the books, but not enough for the character's many avid fans. He's intriguing; even the people who know him in his world don't know much about him! That's where the next book by Joseph Lallo comes in. The book will finally unveil the details of Lain's origins.

You can find sneak peaks of the book here and here, straight from Joseph's website. Stay tuned, as I will obviously post as soon as the book is released!

Just released! 'Lost Empire' by Jeff Gunzel

Hello, readers! This is a quick post to let you all know that Jeff Gunzel just released his third book in the Legend of the Gate Keeper series, 'Lost Empire.'

The first book in the series, 'Land of Shadows,' is available for free through Amazon. For those of you not familiar with Jeff Gunzel's action-packed writing, I encourage you to download it and give it a try. After a few introductory chapters the book picks up, and it really sets the pace for the rest of the series, so be sure to not give up on it!

The second book, 'Siege of Night,' leaves the four protagonists resting in Queen Illira's castle. Eric, Jade, Athel and Jacob are awaiting the completion of the preparations for a journey they must undertake, for the fate of the world rests on them successfully arriving at Shangti.

The new book follows the four friends to a long-forgotten place, Shangti. They set off from Tarmerria  hoping to prevent the demonic Krytoes from entering the world and destroying humankind.  The journey to the far-away land is fraught with peril and hardship, and once they eventually do arrive, the friends are separated against their will, leaving them to fend for themselves in a completely strange, foreign land full of new creatures, races, and dangers they had never come across before.

The Legend of the Gate Keeper series never gets boring. This book is no exception. Magic and enemies are plenty, so this makes for a very action-packed book full of excitement. There's no dull moments when our four heroes are involved! One of them almost gets killed by a band of bloodthirsty, vengeful sailors on what's supposed to be an uneventful boat journey! The forgotten land where our heroes arrive, Shangti, has a distinct oriental influence, so anime fans and fans of Oriental culture will be sure to enjoy that aspect of the book.

You can buy the newly released book through Amazon. For some reason Amazon won't let you view the book preview on the webpage, but I believe you CAN download a sample right to your kindle for free if you want to get a taste for what the book contains. I was told Amazon is working on getting the preview feature up and running.
The book will soon be released via the iBookstore and Smashwords, so stay tuned. I'll be putting up the links soon as they become available!

Jason Tesar's 'The Awakened' series

Hello, my readers.

Today I'd like to bring to your attention a series of books which I was lucky to proofread. The series is called 'The Awakened' and it's written by Jason Tesar.

I could not believe how amazing these books were. I love when fantasy mixes in angels. To this day, I could probably count with my fingers the amount of books I've read which involve angels, and lucky for me, Jason's books have those and more. Imagine a child being saved and trained by a mystical order of clerics after his step father sends him off to be killed. The child becomes a prodigy in warfare and turns against the order that saved him after he discovers their true motives. There's much more to the books than that, though. The plot is pretty convoluted, and details seem to click into place as Jason weaves the tale masterfully, bringing the happenings of two different worlds into a single storyline. These books are enjoyable and extremely fast-paced. I finished all three of them in about 4 days! Couldn't put them down!

Below are links to the books, which are available from many places. Read the book descriptions. I'm sure you'll want to read them to find out more!

Pardon the mess of links, but this post has to be quick, as I am working hard on lots of things, including another book which deals with angels!


Awaken His Eyes: The Awakened Book One

Paths of Destruction: The Awakened Book Two
