This and That

Sorry it's taken awhile to post again. Things are a bit busy. Looking for work (first and foremost), re-watching The Tudors, reading, NHL playoffs and doing some editing (more like formatting) for a friend. No, I have not shelved my book. I've pressed 'pause' on it for the next week and a half to two weeks to do said editing. got a few more bits and pieces to add throughout, as well as some slight re-working of the 'Ascension' snippet "pre-editing", and finishing up the next snippet I hope to release soon....
 I'm about 1/5 through the editing project. It's good, because it gives me a chance to look at someone else's work, and see how it 'flows', in terms of story telling and within the text document itself in terms of spacing, etc.

On the hockey side of things, Pittsburg and Philly are having one heck of a round 1, with many goals being scored. I like Crosby on the ice, and his stats (where it counts), but not off. I'm kind of indifferent in regards to LA vs Van now; Sharks vs the Blues; Chicago vs Phoenix. That said, I suppose I'm more of an eastern Conference fan (for this season anyway).

The Ottawa Senators are playing incredible. They're against a strong team, and bth are playing well. Between Ottawa and the Rangers, 'Go Ottawa!' But the Rangers are a good team to lose to, should they not advance. I'm indfferent with Jersey & Florida, but I think I'd pick Jersey. We'll see. Finally, the Bruins are also doing quite well; my 'go to' Team should Ottawa not make it.

That's about it, will keep you updated when I can. Oh, and why the Way of Kings banner? Pushing! It's a book I'm recommending to fantasy fans at the moment. Not into fantasy? Well try...


The Saxon Stories by Bernard Cornwell, very likely the next series I'll start collecting. The first book is The Last Kingdom. So check out The Last Kingdom and Way of Kings. Chances are you'll like them.

The Tolkien Signature Paperback Collection: Master Listing

Image
  Recently, HarperCollins has been re-issuing most of the Tolkien titles in a new paperback style. Since that a vast majority of these share ISBNs with other covers, eventually the older covers will be replaced with the new. I wanted to provide head's up for that. If ordered via Amazon UK, Blackwell's, or Waterstones, you'll very likely have the newer/Signature cover. If possible, it may be best to actually visit  the bookstore so you can see which one they actually have on their shelves.   This post is a Master Post, collecting ISBNs of the titles released in this style. I have made them into 'groups' or 'sets' for ease of reference, as well as possibly assist in purchasing them, if one were to get more than one book at once. Over the course of time, this post will get updated. Once a new title comes to this format, I'll do a separate blog post focusing on that title; and provide it's ISBN, cover art, and description. Enough of these have come out t...

An Update

So I bet you're wondering how The Saga of Kalvel is coming.  It's going well, but slow. I'm not putting into as much time writing the series as I'd like. It's still being thought of in my head, and I'm only able to get to it part time, but I'm still planning and writing at the same time. This weekend I'm hoping to binge through some.  I'm working on the third chapter for one character, and would like to start the first chapter for another character. I begun as early as Dec. 2011, and my deadline is August of 2016, but so far I have approx about 40 completed manuscript pages that I'm thinking of going back to until the first draft is completely done.  Now. That's manuscript pages.  If I were total everything I'd ever written about Kalvel, it would be closer to around 100 (give or takr about 15 either direction, some things are in various states.) I've said before and again that the most difficult vo...
