And here it is! The really cool cover by Brooke Albrecht, who designed the covers for my Another Healing series. Isn’t this Varian, with all his dragon related stress and worries showing? The cover of the next book will have Josh, of course. The firedragon, by wongvaris, will be on everything in the Notice Series.
Right now, I’m just waiting to get the proof of the print version, which should come in the mail on Wednesday. Assuming it’s all right, I just have to approve it. Once that happens, I’m not sure how long it takes for the book to actually be available, but I’m hoping it will be by the end of this week or soon after. Then I will breathe a huge sigh of relief, because this process of self publishing has been quite the adventure for someone as technology challenged and anxious as I am.
Now that I know how to do it, mostly, the next two books in the series should come much sooner. Flights of Dragons, the compilation of all the stories in the Notice Universe plus a one brand new one, is with the proofreader. The third novel, Wings over Water, is with my editor. That book (the dragon in the kayak story) is all new, with a new dragon as well as old friends.
In the meantime, here is the blurb for Notice:
Consider this your official notice …
Teaching a high school history class is hard enough, never mind the secrets Varian has to hide to keep his job. It’s not like the school board would look kindly on a fire-breathing gay man. And that’s no euphemism.
Varian is the light-anointed leader of a dragon shifter clan, one of a handful of dragon communities still thriving after centuries of persecution by the secret society of knights. When he’s challenged by formal notice from an unknown knight, he can no longer pretend that he’s got it all under control. There are life-or-death choices to be made—including whether to admit his sternly controlled feelings for the man to whom he’s never told the truth.
This is the revised second edition of a novel originally published in 2011 by Torquere Press.
Stay tuned for a link to the book trailer and behind the scenes thoughts on how I made it, and my thoughts on the Notice series as a whole, and some excerpts. Getting excited!
