Trying to get the finishing polishes done on my current books is quite a bit more time consuming then I originally thought. I have re edited my books more than a dozen times and still am catching things I had previously missed. So I brought in fresh eyes and guess what? You guessed correctly. Even more things found. Mostly punctuation, but still frustrating just the same. I feel quite embarrassed about the version of my books that ARE out there in print right now. NOT a good first impression. Having said that, I will be making sure to not rush book 3 into print until my editors are done combing over it.
Just wanted to give you an update. There is a lot that goes into all this and very little of it is actually seen. I am don't giving up. I am working close with a web designer to get a website going. I am also working diligently with a graphic designer to come up with a new and better cover for my books.
I will continue to keep everyone up to date as more things happen.
I talk about my books in the series Lost River Chronicles and the struggles to bring them to light. I hope you enjoy some insider information and maybe even get a sneak peak at what is coming next.

Working on web page
So I've been spending some time planning out a web page, working on edits of my second book, and waiting for my editors to get caught up to me. I am still on track with working on something related to my books every day. You guys are not forgotten. I would like to know though who's on team Matt and who's on team John and I would like to know why you feel the way you do.

Lost River's Carnival ~ Revised
After a long struggle with writers block, I am back on track. Life has a way of getting in the way of your dreams, if you let it. I am choosing to take back control. How? By revising the two books I have written so far. I am beginning to get back into character and hopefully will be able to finish book Three and Four. Who knows, if all goes well, the series may continue on past that. Or a new series may spawn from the ending of The Lost River's Chronicles. Only time will tell. What started as fun little four page project for one person's eyes only soon became a challenge to make one whole novel. That novel took on a life of it's own and this series was born.
Book 1 Lost River's Carnival is revised and better than ever! If you haven't read it yet, I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how quickly you become lost in the story.
Heaven is a news paper writer who finds herself trying to help everyone around her while her own world is falling apart. You have to ask yourself, "Can she keep it together?" She receives a threat at work, is thrown in jail for grand theft, her home is broken into and so much more.
Without realizing it, you will find yourself sharing the emotional ups and down that Heaven goes through. You will laugh with her, cry with her and even get angry with her. This must read has even brought the praises from non readers as well as those who don't normally read this genre.
"I love that book...By Chapter 3 I couldn't put it down...you have great talent"
