Final push to the deadline

Posted byscottatirrellPosted inAbsolution updates, Writing journey

We’ll be returning to our regular scheduled programming soon with the continuation of part 3 of my in-laws’ first adventure to the US mini-series (Part 1 and Part 2). I haven’t forgotten the My Life in China Series and still have some stories to tell.

As many of you know, I’m in editing overdrive for the Dawn of the Lightbearer. I’ve enabled pre-order on Amazon this time as an experiment (and a kick in the pants to get moving) and thus must have the manuscript up and ready to go by June 29th for the the July 2nd release. I should make it, but it does add some added pressure and I will feel much more comfortable focusing on other projects once the Dawn of the Lightbearer is done.

I don’t think I will do pre-order again, at least not for a while. It’s nice to send out an Amazon link with my promotion material, but I guess I still don’t have a readership interested in pre-ordering an un-reviewed book. I’m hoping that it does create a little hype for the release, but we’ll see. I try to stay positive. Hell, if Dawn of the Lightbearer does well and people are really interested in continuing the saga, I may reconsider for the second part of the series. You never know when a book will strike the right cord. Maybe this is the one!

In any event, Dawn of the Lightbearer, book one of the Absolution of the Morning Star series is coming in just over a month! If you are interested in following my progress, I’m posting updates on the my main Absolution of the Morning Star page- here.

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.
