Preliminary Artwork For 'Darkness and Despair'

I finished writing late tonight, as I wanted to finish the chapter. It's going not too bad, if I do say so myself!

So anyway, when I finished writing, I clicked onto my email, and this was the first thing I found - a message from Peter Fussey with a preliminary sketch for the cover art of Wild Wolf's collection of short stories, 'Darkness and Despair'.

This is always an exciting moment!

In fact it's been a good day all around. The results from Charlie's second quarter are in, and I didn't think they were all that bad, either. Thank you!

Anthology Title Released

Things are happening on the anthology end of things. Wild Wolf is now aiming for a June 1st release date. They came up with a heck of a title, too. Both my stories will fit right in.

Can't wait to see the artwork!

Charlie's Now On Goodreads

I just found out, via a good friend of mine, that The Adventures of Charlie Smithers is now on Goodreads. The Adventures of Charlie Smithers

It's great news, of course, although it does seem an odd way of finding out. I must have missed the memo from my publisher, and wouldn't you know that this all happened on a Friday night, so my hastily sent query won't be answered until Monday.

I spent a good deal of this morning dusting off my profile, and bringing it up to date - I hadn't touched it since I joined in 2010, and haven't visited often since then, as time is a precious commodity these days.

Another thing: there's no cover art for Charlie. Must ask Sam about that, too.

Last but not least, Charlie's page is like a bare room desperately in need of furnishings. You know what that means, don't you? That's right! HE DESPERATELY NEEDS REVIEWS!! (hint! hint!)
 

Alison Rocks!! - A Charlie Smithers Review

Thank you, Alison.

This morning I finished CW Lovatt's book. His story and the two main characters I think will stay with me for the rest of my life. Books come and go and the stories fade with time. The characters blend with others and I get them muddled in my brain. I do not think I will ever forget Charlie, Loiyan and their adventure together.
CW Lovatt, you have written an amazing story. I would swear you lived it out yourself it is so vivid. I would say more about how it affected me but am afraid I'd give away too much. Thank you for a roller coaster read. Up down and all around. It was really quite an experience. (If I didn't make it clear yet, I loved it!)
