Wrtiting Update

Greetings to all.

I just wanted to take a moment and update everyone about my writings.

1. 'Tales of the Wolf' series updates. I have been plugging away on 'Darkness Falls' and still hope for a December release. I have also been talking with a professional artist (see her work @ Art by Mel) about new covers for the 1st two books in the series and eventually, the 3rd book. Unfortunately, Mel is booked up until mid-Sept but I'm hoping everything works out. She does some amazing work.
2. 'Last Spartan' series update. I have a novella based on DJ's character that I hope to have out next month. AS to the cover, I'm actually running a contest on the DAZ forums for the cover design. It doesn't end until Sept 16th but the early WIP (work in progress) images I've seen are fantastic. The sequel 'The Last Spartan: the Great Hunt' is progressing and still on target atm for an early 2013 release.
3. Other writings...everything else has been put on the back burner for the moment. I still dust off and work on a few other projects now and then, but nothing major.

That about sums it up. I've been on vacation for the last two weeks and been working around the farm, reading and writing. It's been a good thing. Well, the sun is out and more chores are calling.

Gmail accounts/problems

Warning -- I'm about to rant!

/rant on
Okay...my ISP switched to some sort of gmail based program/service about a year ago. No problems. I personally didn't see any changes to my services.

But now, this program - blogspot - is having a conflict with me using my gmail account as my log in since it is 'owned' by my ISP and I need to transfer data from one email account to a different one.
WTF! Since my ISP is actually using gmail technology, I keep getting 'conflict' messages. This is ridculous!

I guess I'm not as tech savy as I thought but this is confusing and frustrating! How hard it is for blogspot to realize that I am the same person since I've been using both products/services in this same manner for over a year? But no, now I have to take the time to figure out what they want and resolve the conflict. Hell, blogspot won't even let me transfer the data to a different gmail account that I already use. Nope, to do such....I have to set up another - new - gmail account. Like I really want another one! Uggggg!

July Sales

Greetings all. I wanted to take a moment to thank all my fans for a great July.

My July Sales are as follows:
The Last Spartan:Different Paths - Sold 492  Borrowed 30
The Coming of the Wolf - Sold 56 Borrowed 9 Free 292
Enter the Wolf - Sold 51 Borrowed 2

Obviously, I am jazzed about my sales on Spartan for the month. But my 2 fantasy novels are lagging behind. Is it the story? The genre? The covers? I'm not sure but I've decided over my vacation in mid-August to do a slight rewrite and cover re-design. So, be looking for a 2nd Edition on both Wolf books later this year.
