Hot Chick with a Sword

PROGRESS AND PAUSE: KICKSTARTER UPDATE

A couple weeks ago I finished the second draft on Part One of the book (basically the first third of it) and was able to get together with Amy Thunderhawk to take some pictures for future use on a cover design.  The sample here is just to give you a taste.  There is a lot of graphic design work that will go into removing her from my kitchen and placing her (along with some other elements) into a cool-but-creepy book cover.  
That's the progress part.  The pause part is this: I'm now nine days out from shipping my entire family and life to distant Japan with the Navy.  We are in a state of CHAOS right now.  I feel guilty stopping long enough to even write this.  So work on this project will likely be put on hold for a good two or three weeks.  But I still intend to have it finished by the end of the year.  
I'll let you all know when I've reached the next milestone along the way!

  1. Moving to Japan sounds like a big deal! I'm sure it will be chaotic and a major shakeup for all of you but hopefully it will be a positive experience for all of you. Good luck with the move!

    1. Thanks, Kamui! The plane ride was awful but we made it. It'll take us a couple weeks probably to get used to this new place in the world. We are now 13 hours off from Eastern Standard Time. I am up at 4am here after going to bed around 8pm. It's 4:30am as i write this and 3:30pm of the previous day back on the eastern sector of the States! My body doesn't know what to do!
