it's been a year already....

It dawned on me the other day that Bound's one-year anniversary was in September. I cannot believe I forgot - too pre-occupied with other nonsense. Nevertheless, it's still not too late to raise a drink to an author's first book. I would like to thank everyone who has been part of this wonderful journey. The reviews, the cover designer, the blog posts, and most importantly everyone who purchased the novel - thank you for your wonderful support. I look forward to the next instalment - I promise to work diligently to complete Hearthstone.

For all other authors celebrating their first published novel, I salute you. And if you are struggling to get your first book out, don't give up, the reward for completing your first work is beyond sublime.

Days of the Dead

It is a dark and somber time as people light candles on the tombs of loved ones. Prayers to save the souls of many lost between heaven and hell echo on the wind . Darkness is here once more, relentless and unmerciful. The gusts of wind blow away leaves clearing the canvass for winter's touch.

Autumn is finally here

Thanksgiving was a week ago (for us here in Canada) and now the air is getting a little cooler and the days significantly shorter. I love the changing seasons, it wouldn't feel right if there was no natural end to the summer.

Quick Update:
I haven't been doing much work for my novel or blog as I am having some health issues - acute tendonitis in my right arm (my dominate arm). It is an unpleasant feeling but I will be starting physiotherapy and accupunture this week and that should start healing my arm. In the meantime, I am taking it easy but I can still use the old pen and paper to jot down ideas and notes.
