R. Janvier del Valle's 'Sword from the Sky'

I recently had the pleasure of copyediting R. Janvier del Valle's book, 'Sword from the Sky.'

The book is full of magic, honor, and evil beasts. It reads like a dream. 

The story starts with an attack on Luca, the son of a prince, by a beast, and he loses a leg. He grows up without his mother, who was apparently killed during the attack. His father, Druuk, tries to give him every advantage in life, and Luca is trained by the School of Davi to be a swordsmaster. The day when he is to test to acquire his seventh blade, though, an evil woman claiming to be his aunt comes and tries to prevent him from testing. She's banished, but promises to come back. Luca fails his test and is banished from his land, and in the process discovers many truths, and we see just how far the evil forces trying to overcome his land are willing to go to turn him to the darkness. 

The book is available through Amazon, Smashwords, and Kobo...for free!

Go ahead and download a copy. Mr. del Valle's unique writing style alone is worth a read, but I assure you the story will keep you reading and wanting more. 

I published a book, and it's free to download today, Friday 2.

Imagine that! I'm an author! You might not know this, but I'm bipolar. I was diagnosed when I was 16, but I knew something was wrong with me way before then. In this book, I hope to expose how I feel, living with the disease, how my mind works. Many people know someone who suffers from bipolar disease, but don't understand us. We do think differently from others. For those of us who haven't been stabilized with meds, life is a living hell. We turn to alcohol, drugs, and engage in self-destructive behaviors.

The book will be free to download today, Friday. I'll be offering other free promotions, and will post about them with plenty of time beforehand. Spread the word! You can find my book here:

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!
