B.D. Messick's Blog: Musing In Other Words, page 5

As Rayn and Luk get closer to the end of their journey, I can't help feeling that I'm going to miss them...

It feels like letting your kids head off to college or to lives of their own and you know you need to let it happen, but you also know it's going to be painful.

I have two other characters from a new book that I love as well...and maybe it's time that their story is told...they've been waiting for 4 long years.

I will still miss R & L...they've been with me for so long...but maybe this isn't the end of their story..

So...I submitted Wildlands to the San Francisco Book Review

Hopefully someone will decide to read it and post a review...and fingers crossed they like it

Enclave is moving ahead...in the final stretch to the end...

That's all for now

Wow...the giveaway ended yesterday...and there was a record breaking (for me anyway) 512 people requesting it!

200+ over the previous edition!

Cannot wait to see how many people sign up for the Deadlands giveaway when it's released...

Thanks to all!!

So...Enclave (Book 4) is moving along well..with stops and starts. Have reached Chapter 21 and the end of the saga is within sight...

In other news...403 people have entered the contest for the book...that's 100+ more than for the previous edition.

The cover for Deadlands is finalized and hope to begin work on the final edit sometime this month...will keep everyone updated.

So..I haven't kept up with this as much as I said I would...but I am doing my best.

Progress is finally moving forward on Enclave (Book 4) and I have finished editing the third draft of Beastlands.

The cover for Deadlands should be back soon...and it's going to be killer!

That's all for now!

Well...book one comes out tomorrow. After all this work I can only hope that someone buys it, likes it, and then tells someone else about it...

Nervous as he-- about tomorrow...but going to concentrate on the second book to take my mind off it.

Keep reading...keep dreaming...keep living.

So, working hard on editing Deadlands (Sojourn Book II), using some of the ideas and critiques from the first book.

Can't thank Nancy, Caroline and Megan enough for all their hard work.

Also discovered that it's a lot easier to edit if you expand the page size to 150%...or maybe it's just that I'm getting old...lol

Anyway...back to work...

So...didn't end up writing a few words everyday as it turns out...but we're going to try it again.

Waiting to receive the final print proof sometime this week...

As soon as it's approved, I will be changing the cover photo here as well as the rest of the info in case anyone wants to check out the new edition.

There have been some changes, and I welcome any and all comments.

Will let you all know when I receive the book!!

Till them...keep writing, keep reading, keep living

So, this is a new start to the blog..

Will try and write a few words everyday, if I can. Not sure if anyone actually read this, but I have to do something, right? LOL

Anyway...working on Book 4 in the Sojourn series.

The cover has been finalized for the first book...visit my website to see it http://www.sojourn-series.com/ Wildlands is due to be released in June.

I have to say its pretty frickin awesome.

Fire & Ice Publishing has signed me for the second book as well.
