Re-vision

I have finally figured out how to use this blog in a way that will encourage me to post on a regular basis. I’m going to use it to revise the manuscript for my non-fiction book The Chrysalis Age, in preparation for eventually publishing it as an ebook.

After reading about the success that writers like Amanda Hocking and J.A. Konrath are having by independently publishing ebooks I decided that there is no reason that I should not start publishing the YA fantasy and science fiction novels I’ve written. My hope is to publish the first book in The Wizards of Time series by June, The Young Sorcerer’s Guild in July, and The Celestial Blade in August. They are all polished and are only in need of final editing/proofing and the formatting need for print and ebook publication.

I’ll be creating a website and blog for the novels and separating my brand, so to speak. This blog will become a series of posts of revisions to The Chrysalis Age, sometimes posted out of order to comment of current events from the vantage point of spirituality and globalization from my perspective and an interspiritual minister. The other site will be for blogging about the novels and the process of writing and independently publishing.

The Chrysalis Age is a big book. Around 225,000 words. So it will take a while to work my way through the revisions. Especially since my primary focus will be the publishing and writing the YA fantasy and sci-fi novels. But my hope is that a year from now I’ll be able to make The Chrysalis Age available as an ebook. In the meantime I’ll be taking the book down from the website so I don’t have conflicting versions hanging around.

The next post will probably start with the introduction.
