Here’s the latest version of the cover for The Children of the Sun. Really coming along!

In other awesome news, I am ahead of pace on the second draft and expect to have it all finished and sent off to Lauren by the end of the weekend!

Well, I decided to give video blogging a shot. The result seems to be ok — I think fans of the II AM Trilogy will find it interesting. If you’ve read both The Blood That Bonds and Blood Hunt, you should check it out. If you haven’t read those books, I would suggest avoiding this blog, as I do casually mention some fairly big spoilers here and there (note: the are ZERO spoilers for The Children of the Sun). I filmed it under the assumption that the people who would be interested are up to date with the books I’ve put out.

It was an amusing project. The camera angle’s not perfect (I’m too low on the screen), I don’t look at the camera enough, and I do things like scratching my head too often … I guess I could have re-filmed a few more times, but I kind of like leaving it a little rough. If I do more of these, it will be interesting to see if the professionalism level evolves and improves.

Hope you find it interesting and enjoyable! Let me know what you think in the comments, or on Facebook or Twitter.
