Yes I should be writing

The book's at about 56K words and I'm almost ready to wrap up the first draft, though I do have a handful of scenes I need to go back and write. But for all that I've had a fairly productive week, it's been a week full of interruptions. And we just got a puppy, so the current dog is combination excited and I think freaking out.

Thankfully I'm not the one who has to take care of the puppy, but our other dog is my dog, so I have to deal with him. I'm hoping he calms down tomorrow. So I can calm down.

The house in California sold yesterday! So that's out of my hair. When a bunch of squatters broke in I was worried, but we got them out and cleaned up the mess (or my neighbors, realtor, and the police did, I'm 1800 miles away, so all I can do is worry and sign checks).

Our Furniture is supposed to arrive tomorrow or Saturday. And the rest of the stuff we hired the movers to move. There were a lot of worries there the last few days as it's been over a month. But I'm hopeful this has been resolved.

The garage into a den remodel is done and looks great. Once the carport is done, there are a few minor things to do with the other garage, and all the major crap we needed dealt with is finished. Yea.

There are dozens of tasks I still need to deal with, and I'm hoping that once this book is done I can take a couple of days to knock them out before I start on the next one. The title of this book is most likely going to be: 'Red Skies' but I'm having trouble coming up with the cover scene. Sometimes it's easy, and sometimes it's not. I'd hoped to be going to press tomorrow, but with all of the stuff that happened last week (the house issue was just one of them, there were a bunch, and they all demanded my attention), it got pushed back. But it is coming, and it should be ready soon.

Thanks all!

Prints - Remember when I mentioned I was having some done?

Back before the move started I had commissioned a set of pictures of each of Sean's wives. I was thinking of selling them as a set of say 5x8 prints. Is anyone at all interested in such a thing? Or these in a different format?

As prints they were looking about a dollar a piece plus shipping and handling.
I could go smaller sizes, larger sizes, etc. The only problem of course is I have to order at least 50 or each (which would be 300 with all six).

If there is an interest, I'd like to know which size would be most popular, then I'd either sell them here, or do a kickstarter, this way I'd be guaranteed at least enough orders for a minimum order.
As for what the pictures look like, well here's all of them stuck together in a low res print:

Shadow is coming out as an Audiobook Nov 6th

Yup, the same people who are doing the audiobooks for the Valens Series (though it's a different narrator) are doing the book Shadow as well. Considering that Shadow is a bit more ahhh... 'Adult' than Valens, I was surprised that they wanted to do it. But they did, and it's in post production now and I'm looking at a new book cover for it.

I can't blame then on wanting a new cover, I whipped that one out in about two hours, and half of that time was spent shooting a couple of models for the cover. I never expected Shadow to do at all well, and was pleasantly surprised at how many people liked it. I may have to start thinking about a sequel eventually. There are a few side shorts that I could probably put out. I really did cut a lot out of the story when I published it.

Here's the cover they're thinking of updating to:
