I would have loved to sit on one of those balconies. They look like fantasy concept art:)

Writing! Sigh.

Well done. Thats what you want. The wiring in Writers Block is great, like reading your stream of consciousness. I’m about half way through.

Just finished the final edit of Reality Rift, no.2 in the Dark Shepherd trilogy, to be published by NewCon press mid December. There will be a deluxe edition with extra images, a limited edition print and something else a bit special.
Stay tuned

Yes, publishing date mid September. I’ve just signed off on the final edit. I should be promoting it soon along with some fun news.
BTW, I’m reading Writers Block at the moment and really enjoying it.
I’ll put a review on Amazon when I’m done.
