Gift for mom?

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there! If you’ve forgotten this special day, you know what would be an excellent gift for mom? Hours of enjoyment reading the Island of Stone available in both Kindle and Paperback 🙂 !

I’ve finished the final read-through of the Slaying of the Bull (book 1 of the Tocharian Gospels series). I think I will add one more chapter to tie up some loose ends, and then the story will be complete. I’ve already started the editing process, and I’m currently on chapter five. Its a beefy book and will probably take me a few days to get through (final word count should be about 125,000). Then it’s off to a valued and very well-read friend for feedback. While that is happening, I will start formatting the book for kindle and paperback (as edits can be added easily before pushing the publish button). I’ve already tweaked the cover, and that is ready to go. It’s super exciting. Things are coming together. Soon, I will have more than one title up, and that should make a difference. I’ve also learned a great deal from my first experience that will hopefully energize the movement of this new book.

The Island of Stone received its 5th positive review yesterday, which is also exciting. It opens up some promotion avenues that requires at least 5 reviews greater than 4 stars. If you’ve read the novel, and got some entertainment from it, be sure to join this superstar group and leave a quick review!

Cheers!

Scott Austin Tirrell writes dark fantasy because apparently the real world doesn't contain enough dead people, ruined faiths, and gods with questionable motives. Most of his stories take place in Lucardia, a world with a long memory and a rather serious problem with its dead. Its people have been taught many comforting things about history, religion, power, and what happens when the reaper’s sickle swings. Unfortunately, much of it is wrong. Scott is less interested in heroes than in complicated people who stumble into mysteries they probably should have left alone—and then have to live with what they find. When he isn’t writing, Scott wanders old cemeteries in search of character names and thinks about fictional people as though they have personally inconvenienced him. He lives near Boston with his wife and maintains a healthy distrust of ravens.
