Dark Dimensions Part 1 is with the editor now.

I have completed my editing of Dark Dimensions Part 2 and just waiting for Part 1 to be completed before I send it to the editor.

I am quickly going through Dark Reign to catch just a few typos, then that will be ready once Dark Dimension has been released.

I have a beta reader checking The Dark Road, so hopefully that will be out after Dark Reign.

Yes, I’ve been a very busy beaver!

As I said, the next series is the Consequences series.

Okay, it will happen. I am going to go down the self-publish route, however, instead of starting with Dark Reign, I will be starting with the Second Edition of Dark Dimensions.

This is now a two volume book as when I went to remove a lot of wastage in it, I found in other areas it was very much lacking detail where detail should have been. Thus, the split of the book.

I have heard it is split in the correct place, but I will be sending the first half to my editor soon and double-check with her on her thoughts of whether it is split in the right place.

I have also engaged a cover artist living here in Perth, so I’m very pleased to say I will be supporting local artists. The idea is to get a cover that reflects some of what the current cover is as well as Dark Reign’s cover. We’ll see what they come up with, though.

As I said, once Dark Dimensions has been edited, I will go back over the third book, which is known as The Dark Road and once happy with that will send that to the editor as well.

Then I will be revamping the Consequences Series, so the books that introduced everyone to the small island country of Albermarle will be better than they currently are.

Stay tuned for more news!

Oooh, sounds ominous, I know. It’s not, though.

I’ve decided to drop my updates to once a fortnight for now. Until things start to pick up.

I’ve got about 3 weeks before I hear back from the publisher, so hopefully I’ll know whether I go down the path with them or continue on as a self-publisher by August.

I apologise for the lack of speed that has been going, but I think checking this last publishing company will be the best way to go for me.

Thank you for your support and I’ll keep posting. 🙂

I have completed editing on Dark Dimensions part 2. I am giving myself a few days without even looking at it, then I will go through it and ensure I’ve updated everything in it.

It’s been a rocky road over the last year or so, but we’re coming out of it. I have forwarded Dark Dimensions part 1 to a publisher, but have yet to hear back. I’ll see how they go with it.

I hope to have more updates soon.

Okay, my small update is that I have taken the next step to get Dark Reign finalised, including cover art.

I have to say, I haven’t been doing a lot – it’s been far too cold. I think Perth is going through an Antarctic winter. I don’t remember winter being this cold in a looooooong time. Fingers find it difficult to work but at least we get lots of cuddles from the cats – when they’re not in front of the fire!

I do have a quick update.

I have completed editing of Dark Dimensions Part 1 and am starting on Part 2.

I hope to have it finished very soon.

Once I have finished that I will move back to the third book – The Dark Road.

And then, back to the Consequences series.

Hopefully, there’ll be a change soon to various things.

Oh, I did find one great tool for Australian writers – the Australian Government Style Manual. It gives brilliant information on formatting, punctuation and grammar! It’s for Australians, though, so people from overseas may be confused by it at times. But that’s okay. If you’re not Australian and you want to read it, feel free to. Grow your mind.

Wow! Stormy weather here! Everything is going well.

I have about 70 pages of editing to do and then Dark Dimensions Part 1 is finished.

Will update better next week.

Amazon Update

Well, it looks like the books are not available on Amazon US anymore, so I have emailed Amazon Australia to get them to remove them from their site.

I will let you know when I’ve heard more.

Sorry about how short and sharp this post is!

Okay, so I heard back from Amazon. They are looking into taking the books down, so in anticipation of that, I’m going through Dark Dimensions before it goes to the editor.

I may also have a local cover artist, but I have also submitted Dark Dimensions to a local publisher. If I don’t hear anything back from them – up to 6 weeks – then I’ll be self-publishing with the new cover artist.

I’ll also be updating my page on Amazon with more information and, possibly, moving this over to Amazon. No decision has been made as yet, though.

On other news, I have started to make a synopsis for my ghost hunters story. So, stay tuned for that one.

Hopefully by next week I’ll have more news on the Amazon side of things!

I’m still waiting to hear back about the next stage of Dark Reign, but I’m sure it won’t be long.

I have been in touch with Amazon Australia asking them to remove the other three books so that I can republish under myself. Once that’s done, I will take another look at Dark Dimensions, Heart of Deception and Legacy of Risks and update them appropriately to reflect some changes I’ve made to an earlier part of Marek’s life and some rewriting of Dark Dimensions.

Stand by for more news as it happens!
