B.D. Messick's Blog: Musing In Other Words, page 3

If you reading this, then I'm guessing that you must have read one of my books...if you did...and you liked it...please pass on the word about it to anyone who you think might like it.

I'm a writer. I write because I love it, but I want it to be something that can be my life's work, and the only way that's going to happen is if people read my books, talk about them with other people and those people read my work...and so on and so on.

If you are a fan, you mean the world to me. I appreciate each and every one of you, no matter if you love my books or not...if you read my words, that's enough.

And remember...

Never Stop Reading!

Just sent the final edits for Beastlands back to the publisher. Breathing a sigh of relief.

Going to start looking at what to work on next...I think the second book on the All Things In The Shadows series may be on the menu...although I need to submit the first book to a publisher.

Anyway...Never Stop Reading!

So...about three quarters of the way through the edits for Beastlands (Book III) of Sojourn.

I didn't even remember some of the scene I'd written...I think Nancy (publisher) is right, this is the best of the series so far. There's more character development and it's a much more emotional book than even the Deadlands.

I had given the first four chapters to a fan a few weeks ago...and she loved it...a very good sign.

Anyway....off to work!

Never stop reading!

So..working on the first pass edits for a new YA series...it's a modern / urban fantasy with two female leads. It's a bit of a departure for me, but I think it's better than Sojourn (or as good).

If anyone would like to read the first few chapters...just email me at [email protected] or here on Goodreads.

Never stop reading!

Up to page 100 of the final edits for Beastlands...Stephanie is doing her magic with the cover as we speak!

Cannot wait for the final proof!!

The third book is being first pass edited right now.

Am hoping to have it back within the next month or so.

Eve and Karyssa's adventure is coming to a close...I am just writing the climactic finale

I think this is an even better story than Sojourn and I hope people like it as much as they like Rayn and Luk.

So..changed the name of the EVE book to All Things In The Shadows...I think it have a good ring...

Things are progressing nicely...a few twists here and there and both Eve and Karyssa are quickly becoming close to my heart.

Anyway...if anyone would like a quick (un-edited) preview, just message me.

Till later...keep on reading!

So...not sure how sales are going with The Deadlands, but considering that only three reviews have been posted on Amazon and one on Goodreads, I am not very optimistic.

If you know anyone who you think might like Wildlands or Deadlands, please spread the word. I have been on Twitter lately, but not sure if it is having any impact.

It's finally here...the second book in the Sojourn series is set for a February 23rd release!

Join Rayn and Luk as they face their most daunting challenge yet, the blasted landscape known as the Deadlands.
