Brad Horton has finished the inks for the SoulQuest cover, which you can see right on the left! There may still be some changes to the final version, mostly the positioning of the airship, but for the most part, this is how it will look. Brad emailed me this image today and…
A few things to touch on this time around. November means the beginning of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) and, just as I do every year, I'm participating once more. In the eight years I've been doing NaNoWriMo, I've only ever finished one novel I began for it. The others…
