First off, let me get some business out of the way.\u00a0 I did another post for the Genesis Earth blog tour, this time on my friend Cavan’s blog<\/a>.\u00a0 The subject: how and why I decided to become an indie published writer.<\/p>\n

Also, if you live in Europe, it may interest you to know that Genesis Earth<\/em> is now available on XinXii<\/a>, a European ebook retailer website.\u00a0 The price is 2.99 USD and I believe that is VAT inclusive, which should make it much less expensive than Amazon and other American sites.<\/p>\n

Finally, an update on my upcoming novel Bringing Stella Home<\/em>.\u00a0 I’ve commissioned the cover art from L\u012bva \u0160maukstele<\/a>, an artist from Latvia.\u00a0 We just got the sketches finalized this week, and I am very excited to see the final copy!\u00a0 My copy editor, Josh Leavitt, is finishing up with the edits in a couple of weeks, so if all goes well with the art Bringing Stella Home<\/em> should be up before the end of the month.<\/p>\n

And now, the teaser: I spent a couple of hours this afternoon putting together the starmap for Bringing Stella Home<\/em>.\u00a0 This will appear in the front, just before chapter one. Check it out:<\/p>\n

Pretty cool, eh?\u00a0 I might touch it up a little before publication, perhaps lighten the background a tad.\u00a0 I did it in B&W so that it would work better for the Kindle.\u00a0 Many thanks to Logan Kearsley for help with the stellar classes; it really pays to have geeky friends who know so much.<\/p>\n

And yes, the Good Hope Nebula will be in the cover art.\u00a0 Yes, it’s going to be awesome.\u00a0 Expect another teaser to come out soon.<\/p>\n
