Update- 11.3.2014

Welcome to November's update post.

Big news this week, that I will get to down below, but first I wanted to say welcome to any new readers I may have picked up in the last month.

In the last month I started the A-Z blogging challenge on both this blog and on my fatherhood blog.

We covered the following last month-

A is for Akana- I presented a character examination of Akana from To Tread the Narrow Path. We explored the beginnings of the novella as a historical fiction short story based during the feudal era in Japan, and how Akana's character in a fantasy setting was influenced by a historical individual.

B is for Broken Promises- I explored the motif of broken promises and the concept of serving two masters as it relates to my novella. They are torn between the vows they take and their sense of duty and honor. That choice is part of the driving force of the novella.

You can also check out the first A-Z post on my fatherhood blog- A is for Anthony.

In other news:

I posted on Facebook asking for help in picking a new cover for To Tread the Narrow Path. I've gotten some really good feedback and I will be sharing the final cover with you all soon. I am still soliciting feedback so below are the prospective first drafts of some potential covers. Comment below with your thoughts-



wooded path, black and green, natural/earthy feel

nature feel with the leaves, earth tones, minimalistic

black is predominant color, eastern inspired mountain on cover, nature


mountain on back cover, minimalistic front cover, earth tones


nature, wooded path, dark colors, earth tones
 As far as updates on the novella go:

This week there will be not one, but two updates to the novella going live in the Amazon marketplace. I will post on social media when the link is live and the update is available. If you want to get caught up before the updates go live you can purchase from Amazon for $0.99.

Also, this will bring us to the end of Book III of the novella and will set the stage for Book IV. Between November and December, I hope to have the final four installments of the novella out and ready for you to read, and once all of the installments are ready, the book will be set for a print run (which is why I am seeking a new cover).

As I've said before once this is complete I am going to be throwing myself into my next project in earnest and I am unbelievably excited about it. You can check out my initial thoughts on Lighthouse at the Edge of Forever here.

Thanks for reading. If you've enjoyed, please like, share, subscribe, +1, etc...
