Celestine Chronicles book 2 is coming end of August.

State of the Book 2:
TL:DR I'm on schedule for release end of the month.

All right y'all, just to give those of you following along an update, the book is proofed. Today is the last day for beta readers to get their feedback to me.

I had pretty good response rates from those who opted into the beta (join my mailing list if you want to try out for the team with regard to book 3!) and they gave me some good notes on things I need to tweak before release.

Overall, the response was positive, which is good but at this point just means that people who liked my writing last month still seem to dig it this month, go figure.

That being said, a few key things DEFINITELY need to be tweaked, and I'll have plenty of time to get it all done on schedule. My artist will be starting the cover on the 21st, which means he'll be done with it by the 24th or so. (yeah, he's that fast. The new cover up now took him 3 days as well, with one extra for polish.)

Book 3 will probably have a cover much sooner in the process just so I don't have to stress about it.

That's pretty much it right now. Thanks so much for reading!

    Just burned through your first book in a single sitting, I am left ravenous and wanting more props to you for quick turnaround times on these excellent reads. I can't wait to see what Terry and the girls get up to next

    I like the new cover on the 1st book, but I prefer the original cover because of the minotaur.

    I just brought the book and I have to say I love the new cover of the first one and love the cover of the second. Who does the artwork?

YES, the title changed.

Long story very short: trademark trolls. Title wasn't the same.  Genre wasn't the same. Prior use all over the place ... but some people have a vested interest. I will not publicize this because quite frankly, the less time I have to spend dealing with this the better, but I felt at the very least there ought to be some word for those of you who haven't been following the drama in other channels. Could I have fought to keep my original title? Yes, yes I could have. Why didn't I? Math. One has to know when to hold em, and when to fold em.The time and money I'd have spent on it would have outstripped any possible fiscal return, and since this is only one book title rather than the name of the series, it doesn't really impact my branding. Nothing about the story or its contents has changed, other than the title. God Willing, this is the last I'll have to hear of or deal with this sort of nonsense.

Progress report

To be honest, nothing much has changed in the last month ... which is fantastic because I'm about halfway through the next book and progress has been steady. Things are a bit slower than I'd like regardless because I'm working on two projects simultaneously. Book 5 is one, and the other is the start of a new series. I don't YET have dates for when the next few books will be out, but I HOPE to have them both out by the end of September. Progress is also proceeding on book 4's audio (still being narrated by the incomparable Tess Irondale) so watch out for that in early October. I'd say September, but Audible takes a month to publish anything even after all the work's been done and it's submitted to the store, so I REALLY can't give any dates out on that. One of you guys asked about my Send Me An Angel project, and given the results of the beta read on that, I've shelved it for now. Not only does it need a new cover, but it probably needs to

There may or may not be swear words in this post. You've been warned.

(UPDATE: Was able to get my account back. Doesn't make me any less annoyed this happened ((particularly just a few days after the launch of a book)) but yeah, I was able to prove I am who I say I am. Go team.) Fuckerberg is messing with me. Let me splain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up: I still have full time employment with a company that has granted me - as part of my job duties - access to equipment that processes BILLIONS of dollars worth in business. Each day. My trustworthiness and squeaky clean record (I used to hold the highest clearance this country grants to its military) is preeeeeetty much as important if not MORE important than my actual skills doing the job - which after twenty years are pretty fckin' magical if I do say so myself. So they wouldn't take it very well if they found out I was writing harem-lit as a side-hustle. All that to say I cannot reveal my name in a public forum. Which Facebook is. Thus I write and post under Cebelius
