Check out the glorious new cover art!😍😍😍 🤩🤩🤩 This gorgeous illustration is by Julie Dillon.
The new cover is ready… (You’ll see it next month.) The edits are happening…
AUDACITY 3. Soon.
But can we all agree Christopher Reeve was the best Superman?
Here are the poll results from last week!
The winner was… *drumroll* … a blueprint like map of the Audacity!
By basically a landslide, although Dossiers put up a good showing. Lots of the rest are still pretty cool. All of them are still on the table, but I’ll work on blueprints first! 🙂
Until next month or so, here is a moment from AUDACITY 3 to tide you over… (Mild spoilers if you haven’t read EMPRESS CAPSULE or CAPITAL GAMES.)
Something was niggling at him, though, and around the third open market they passed as they avoided the tubes, he cut Dane out of the comm line and reached out to just Ellen. “What if we find her there?”
“Her?”
“Asha.”
“You’ll know what to say. Don’t worry about it.”
“I am worried about it.”
“Do you want to bring her flowers?” she taunted. “Maybe chocolate?”
“Can we poison the chocolate?”
“A worthy idea.”

Meanwhile, I’ve been working on CLANBLADES 2 as I wait for feedback from my editor and beta readers. Oh, and try not to go insane squeezing in some work while the household swirls around me… 😉
I’m lucky I don’t bite my nails.
CoronaQuarantine Top 5
Here’s a few cool fantasy and Sci-fi things if you or the kids or partner or dog are absolutely bored right now. Okay, let’s be honest, your dog isn’t bored, he’s doing great. (And my cats are ready for us to leave.) But everybody else…
- Jean-Luc Picard is reading Shakespearan sonnets on Instagram
- Georgia Aquarium Cams! Nothing calms like nature… And here’s one place you can check it out, without even getting off the couch. I’ve also watched Monterey Bay’s Aquarium live webcams for a long time! There’s a bunch but I recommend the live sea cam, where animals swim in from the ocean into the aquarium, or the penguins. Obv.
- NASA has lots of free activities, including free photo essays and ebooks about Saturn, the history of space exploration, Hubble Telescope, and more!
- Get some free coloring pages and issues of Enchanted Living Magazine, right on their website. I love this mag! Anyone else read it?
- My awesome artist Sarah Dahlinger (illustrator of many amazing creatures including Yeska and a new upcoming Clanblades dragon) has made some creature coloring book pages available with newsletter subscription!
And of course, read! Can’t wait to get AUDACITY 3 out there to add it to the list! =)
I like that cover art. And if I may, hee is something else to think … how about is a short bio on all the characters, a quick description (gender, rank, distinctive features, abilities and relationship to other characters, if any). After a while I have a hard time keeping the secondary characters straight.
As for activities,
1. Building RC airplanes (not everyone’s cup of tea, but I have to get away from the ‘tube’ or else I will become a vegetable)
2. Watching ‘The History Guy’ on YouTube (interesting topics, well researched)
3. Catching up on reading
I’m with Bob. We really do need a roster.
We live about 20 miles out of “town” so going outside for us is not a issue… it is a necessity…. horse, geese, critters to feed and water… we had a lot of rain recently and the WEEDS are about to take over… so the battery wacker is seeing a LOT of use.
IF you sew… now is the time to consider adding to or repairing your wardrobe… (Joann’s does do mail order.. which is okay if you stick to basic solids, etc) and of course LOTS of reading… thank goodness for Kindle
