It\’s been quite a while since my last blog entry, but so many things are happening!

I\’m in the middle of extensive rewrites, some of which are changing the direction of a few characters and adding some new ones. They\’re welcomed additions that make the story even better than the original idea. But with that comes the time to fully develop them and integrate their stories into the overarching story of Shay Lark. However, the wait is going to be well worth it!

Our social media presence is growing rapidly as well! The Shay Lark Series Facebook page is racking up the likes and the word is getting out in anticipation of the pending release (in a few months most likely). It takes quite a while to make all the changes and edits, but again, I am enjoying the story even more with these additions!

So, keep checking back and I\’ll put some Easter Eggs around in the blog post that will lead to something cool! I won\’t give it away yet, but it\’ll be a great way to get the Shay Lark series out amongst even more readers.

Again, thanks y\’all for your patience! Good things lie ahead.

While I wait for the editing to take place on Shay Lark and the Silver Skull, I find myself with some extra time. I have decided to find out new books that I would like to read. I haven\’t seen the New York Times Bestseller list recently, but I may peruse it to see if something catches my eye.

Some books that I have enjoyed in the past, that you might enjoy as well if you are into adventure novels, is the series by Brent Weeks entitled Lightbringer. I really enjoyed it, but I haven\’t finished the last book yet. That\’s on my to-do list this summer.

Other books I\’ve thought about picking up include The Mortal Engines Quartet by Philip Reeve.

Of course, there is always the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan.

I\’ve got a lot to read, and my Kindle is just sitting, asleep for far too long. So, those are my picks. What are you reading these days?

The past 10 days have been really exciting for me and this novel. I\’ve reached out to some traditional publishers and am awaiting to hear from them.

I\’ve had a few individuals read over the opening of the book, and they all came back with really, really positive reviews. So, it\’s going in the right direction!

Additionally, some new concept art has been done on the main characters and on the cover art for the book. It\’s coming along nicely, and I can\’t wait to show you all!

So, while it appears that not much is going on externally, there is a TON of stuff going on in the background.

Additionally, the Shay Lark Series Facebook page has exploded! It has gained over 300 followers in the past week! That is fantastic!! If you haven\’t followed yet, you might want to do so. There is also the Instagram page and Twitter feed if you want to keep track of all things Shay Lark.

So, the phrase for this post is simple: stay tuned!!
