Here it is, the cover for Book 6 in the Eldritch files, ELEMENTAL STORM! (The newsletter got to see it first!) I never thought I’d come this far so quickly with this series. And I am truly thankful for the readers and supporters of Sam, Ivan, and Kyle. 

But with this reveal comes a delay as well. And as before with Elemental Soul’s delay, the reasons are strictly mine and not due to anything else. With the addition of MAGICIAN’S GAME, set to release on preorder August 13th, as well as a Shadowrun novel due the beginning of August, it became painfully clear that delivering a finished, edited version of CHIMES AT MIDNIGHT wasn’t going to happen for July. I can do 12K words a day for just so many days before my head explodes and I get a blister on my wrist. 

No joke. A real owy blister. 

I wiped my white board clean and started over with scheduling, moving the things I had control over. I can’t change the release of MAGICIAN’S GAME because Amazon penalizes you if you change a pre-order release date. The contracted SR book has to get to the editor ASAP (though I’d love to see a cover, John!) because…well…CONTRACT.  

I have an upcoming vacation with my real life Kyle Kendrick that I can’t miss. The two of us in New Orleans is gonna be fun \O/ and I have a daughter starting High School next month. That…just makes me blink when I type that. A kid in high school…wow.
