A Tale of Light and Shadow Update

As I've mentioned recently, my progress with Psion Omega has stopped, and my attention has turned to the Tale series. Up until Friday I was rewriting Tale 2 and then I received the galleys from my editor, Derk. Galleys, for those of you who are like me and had no idea what they were, are the pages of your book w/ a nice interior design. They are to be looked over and marked up. Nowadays, the galleys are done on pdf files instead of paper.

So I've got a couple weeks to blaze through Tale 1 and mark up things and make more changes. As I've told you already, Tale 1 will be somewhat different than what you've already read, if you read Flight from Blithmore. It will introduce the magical system called "The Path" in this book, setting it up for much bigger exploration in the sequel. So, yes, you may want to consider re-purchasing the book when it comes out in September.

Which brings me to my next point. The release date of A Tale of Light and Shadow is no longer 7-29, but 9-9. This will give us more time to have the book ready and the marketing more underway when it's released. On the bright side, the cover, done by Brandon Dorman, is fantastic! I can't wait to show you all. Not sure when that will happen, but soon.

Also be looking ahead to the release of the short story "The Fool and the Dragonox" in the next several weeks. Lots of exciting things coming!
