First DRAft

I don’t have much to say right now as I’m still at work on the manuscript. But I have finished the first draft of Message At The Deep. Usually when this happens I take about a week to relax my mind and work on other things. Well, I’ve done that and now I am in the beginning revision stage where the body is being filled in or changed as need be. Sometimes this is the most difficult and the most rewarding phase of a book for me.

On another note I have been looking out for new books to read. I am making my way through C. J. Cherryh’s Chanur saga and I love it. I wonder why I’d never read it back in the 80’s? Too busy reading those hoary Dungeons and Dragons books, I guess! I did read some of her other books back then but this is my favorite series from her. I may do a blog post on this series alone soon. It’s a classic in science fiction. Everyone should read it.

On a YouTube book blog I found out about a fantasy book called Godfallen by Tim Meyer. They were talking about the cover and how much they loved that retro fantasy look. I love it too and I plan to check the story out. Much respect to the artist of this cover. I love science fiction and fantasy covers from the 70’s and 80’s. They remind me of what an awesome and carefree childhood I had back then.

Retro? Yes, retro!

This book sounds good too. I will be checking this out on my next trip to Powell’s. It’s giving me Conan the Barbarian vibes, and that is a very good thing!

Happy reading!
