So while I'm in the midst of editing Cobalt Rogue, Vol. 2: Sky Japan Welcome Party to be fit for professional re-publication, I've also been making progress on Vol. 3.

Alright, so first of all, now that things are settling down for me, I can stop dawdling and get back to work. Once I've completed Vol. 2, I can get back to Vol. 3: Cemetery Rumble, Part I.... and it's going to be a BIG one. I'm already three hundred pages in--it has thus exceeded the page count for Vol. 1, which will no doubt maintain the record as the shortest volume in the entire series once I finish it (eventually...).

Secondly: I've got a Christmas-ish release deadline planned. For reals this time. I know I keep setting deadlines and missing them, but with life settling and all the bullshit I've had to deal with (I had a REALLY nasty streak of bad-to-worse luck for the past ten or eleven months), I'm confident to say that this will be the last Vol. 3 deadline I set up. I plan to make it this time. So expect it around late December, early January. Whenever the Amazon staff isn't on vacation, LOL.

Thirdly: the synopsis! The plot has been mildly tweaked, and is still subject to minor changes here and there. Oh, yeah, the synopsis:

Damian and co. fly to the independent capital of Cemetery City on the isolated coast of North Liberty in their continued search for Zero and the mother of the Knight Sisters. Unfortunately, hell rises, resulting in the party being split up, their movements and fate under the control of an anarchistic madman known only as Painkiller. To make matters worse, he wants to use Damian as his own personal weapon, forcing him to make daring moves against government figures and opposing forces with the sole purpose of raising tensions and bringing the cold war between the alliances to a simmering boil. Somewhere in the mix is a device with limitless information--information that every organization on the planet is willing to kill for in order to gain the upper hand. Painkiller wants to see the world destroy itself, and with Damian's reluctant help, he just might accomplish his goal--unless Damian can plan around him and everyone else.

Yeah, that's about the gist of the whole trilogy, LOL. Like I said, though, it's gonna be a really big one, so I might end up pulling a Hitchhiker's Guide and splitting the volumes themselves into two parts unless I can find a way to scale it down. I just have so much story to tell for this story arc.

Fourthly, COVER REVEAL! Since I just learned how to properly format HTML for image posting, here you go, the third volume cover, tweaked and everything!
