Okay, first things first, here’s the LUCAS cover, and isn’t he pretty? He’s just as a I pictured him when I wrote the book! If you click the below image, you’ll get a single image … click that and the cover goes full size.
I’ll be sending this manuscript off to my publisher this week, with days to spare! So, we’re on track for a release at the end of October. You already got a glimpse of Lucas at the end of DUNCAN, and you’ll see more of him in the first Cyn/Raphael novella, which will be out this summer. I’ll let you know when I have a firm release date on that. But in the meantime … isn’t he pretty? And, oh yeah, Kathryn’s pretty, too. 😀

On to my regular reports … no movies last week, though I am going to see Prometheus this week. On TV … we finally found out who killed Rosie on THE KILLING. Half of it was a surprise, the other half not so much. He was a little too creepily intense. I do like the new Richmond, though. Saints are always boring; this is much more interesting. And I’m still not crazy about Midge, she’s very unsympathetic and self-centered. No one’s grief is genuine but hers. Bleah. Looking forward to the next season, though, and wondering if Linden will still be around. Actually, I’m not sure if there will be a next season, yet. Next up is TRUE BLOOD, which gets a double meh. The best part of the episode were Eric’s snarky comments to the Authority guys. As for Tara … yes, please, Lafayette, put her out of her (our) misery. Don’t care about Terry and Arlene, at all. And Alcide is VASTLY underused so far.

On BOOKS, I went back and read THE KILLING FLOOR by Lee Child. Excellent book, excellent start to the Jack Reacher saga. I’ve read some of the later books, but not the beginning ones, which is why I’m going back to the start. I finished reading JOHN GILSTRAP’s newest JONATHAN GRAVES book. Loved it! And now I have to wait a whole year! (whine) And now I’ve picked up Thea Harrison’s Dragon Bound, which comes highly recommended.

Of course, the book I’m spending most of my time on is … LUCAS. Did I mention he’s awfully pretty? 🙂

Okay, back to work for me. Hope you enjoyed the cover, and I’ll see you all back here next week!
