So my debut PRINTED novel is out this Christmas, through Andromeda Literary Group ([link]). It's 456 pages of awesome, titled How to Lose Yourself in One Year or Less. I got the legendary Marlene Freimanis ([link]) to let me use her art for the cover. I submitted the final cover as a deviation. Yesterday, I received the first physical copy. It's sitting right next to me. I have to go page by page and make sure it's all good and ready before they print out the first run, but I'm procrastinating as always.

I also announced an e-book on short stories, due out in December as well. It's a seemingly random series of stories that explore selfish and selfless love, the desire to please others no matter the cost, obsession diguised as desire, and the universal power of love – throughout cultures, genders, and time — to heal the long-forgotten and abused.

After that (probably next year) comes a how-to book on Photoshop. I pretty much show all my fanfiction followers how to create totally awesome covers, banners, icons, and other promo art, where to get the best resources, and a buttload of step-by-step tutorials written for the complete beginner.

As for photos, I've been doing kids' parties lately. Some of the pics come out GREAT but they're not exactly photoshoppy goodness so I probably won't be posting them for some time.
