Hello, Dear Readers,

Above, you see Gerard's full portrait for the Cormorant cover. Pretty, right? :D Like all the others, that's by Sarah (Rah) Cloutier.

The book is out to beta readers now. One person (Bess) turned it around in 4 days. 188K words. With helpful comments and everything! Geez. Obviously, Bess has a unique skill, but even speed demons don't turn books around that fast when they're not enjoying them. This is a good sign.

Tomorrow I will hopefully have the paper covers back from my designer, which means I can upload them to Amazon and order proofs.

The entire series is on pre-order here. Paper will come out with the ebooks, but I don't have a way of creating paper pre-orders, so if that's what you want, be patient. Fair warning, these books are all around 700 pages. They are chunky books.

If you haven't read the Cormorant excerpt on my website, it stands alone as a short story that even new readers can enjoy. It's about how Layjen met Percy (they were neither at their best).

What else have I been doing?

I'm now into my edit for the 2 new Hunters universe novellas/ short novels. When I finish, I get to write the third one, which will hopefully wrap up this detour. The only place you can read them right now is Patreon. I talk about them a bit in my latest reward summary.

Back to work,
Abbie
