Melange Says July-August

Got an email from my publisher, Nancy Schumacher, of Melange, and she says they can publish Killer Eyes in July-August of this year. I was hoping for a summer release, because I'm a teacher, and I'll have all the time I need for editing and promotion!

At first Nancy said November-December, but when I voiced my concern about a summer release, she made it happen by squeezing me in. Talk about an author friendly publisher. Melange Rules!

In the meantime, I am working hard on the John Dunn story. It's pretty well written already, just going over it again, making sure all POV is good, all prose is good, and everything's consistent. I talked about inserting an additional scene, because this particular scene I want to insert really happened in real life, and actually played a role in the outbreak of the Anglo-Zulu War.

I didn't include it originally because the word count was already over 120,000 words, and I thought that I shouldn't exceed that amount, but maybe for historical fiction it's all right to go more.

Anyway, with the publication of Killer Eyes this year, I'm considering a Book Three for the Killer Series. I ended Killer Eyes with an option for the story to continue, although it could end with Book Two. But if I'm inspired for a Book Three, I'll go ahead and write it. After all, I've allowed for it. So why not? Anyway, watch for Killer Eyes to be released this summer!
