He comes...

He comes ever so silently...

J'ar has inspired a story to himself and it only seen fit to give him a place of his own. He is as real to me as Jesse Knight is. J'ar provokes both pity and horror, but inside he is all gentleman and I welcome him.

Another one...

My current vaca was planned around something...getting another tattoo. Yup...I'm officially out of my mind. My appointment is set for this monday. I've come to find out that Tattoo Shops arn't open on mondays, but Cindi (my tattooist) is making an exception for me. Being that I'm from out of town and all.

So on one of the hottest days of the year I'll be off to Billings for my new tattoo...and here is the design. This is J'ar...he is a thief and the main character in the story "Craziness of the Dragon".

Harry Potter spoilers...

I guess the real question I want to ask is this... What do you want? The rainbow or the pot of gold? The gold is great, but the rainbow is so much nicer to look at.

I wanted to say something about all the Harry Potter 'spoilers' I have encountered in the last several weeks. Yes, they gave away the ending, but does a reader ever read a book to get to the end or are they reading for the ride itself. It is the smaller details which makes the story enjoyable for the reader. I pre-ordered my audio CDs for the Deathly Hallows over a month ago and I had no intention of backing out of my order with Amazon. You know, I sure there are several people (like me) who were curious about the spoilers...and I bet they were first in line for the books at mid-night on Friday or (like me) first in line at my local K-Mart when it open at 8am this morning.

A fan is a fan inspite of it all. The fans know that J.K. Rowlings did not intentionly release spoilers to fans to be leaked. I'm an author and one of my downfalls is that I keep a secret, so I commend her on her strenght in doing so.

Oh by the way, those of you who have leaked the plotline??? Well...thank you. You have managed to make this book more popular then ever.

"Feathers of a Dancer"

I have been working feverishly on book three of the Knightbird series, "Feathers of a Dancer". As some of you know, who have been following this series, I will not be releasing it through PublishAmerica.

I have decided to use Lulu.com and a publishing package through them. They will supply me with an ISBN number and they will also place it on Amazon.com (as well as any other on-line bookstore). There are several other small services which will come with the package.

I will be designing the cover as well as the rest of the book. I only have four full chapers and about six parchal written chapters. So the rough draft is about done. I'm getting excited, this is going to be one the best written books (novels) I have done.
