Cover Art for AURORA REDRESS

I did an informal opinion survey on Facebook, and by at least two to one, my FB friends selected the following image for the cover of Aurora Redress. Actually, this isn't the exact same image I showed them. I lightened up the background some and redid the title.

Many thanks to Joy Wilcox for granting me permission to use her image of the leaping girl silhouette. 

As a matter of interest (or not), I also used the following two photographs of mine to create this cover. 

Re-Addressing AURORA REDRESS

Yes, I finished the edits on Aurora Redress last March. And, yes, I set it aside while I worked on another novel in an entirely different genre. But since it has been almost a year, I am going through the manuscript one more time before publishing it electronically. Fortunately, I am finding more "fine tuning" opportunities than overlooked errors so far.

One Down....

Thank you, Celeste, for proof-reading Aurora Redress. So happy that you also enjoyed the novel.

Now, T, just waiting on you. Once I receive your copy-editing notes and I make your corrections on the manuscript, Aurora Redress is getting published!

Aurora Redress Finished

I finished writing Aurora Redress, the second book in the Aurora series. It is now ready to go out to my beta readers. I plan to have it published by the end of October if all my content and copy editing goes well. Look for it!

Multiple Distractions Withstanding

Based on some reader feedback, did my best to fine-tune my Appalachian dialect on the prologue of Aurora Redress plus wrote Chapter 5, five pages worth. Good to get back to writing after multiple distractions......

Redress on the Move

I am in the process of sending out the prologue and chapters 1 through 4 of Aurora Redress to some of my test readers. Some read the first novel in the series, Aurora Rescue, and some have not. I am looking for different feedback from the two groups. From those who are reading an Aurora Series novel for the first time, I want to make sure there is enough information in this first section of the book so that they do not feel like they were dropped in the middle of the story and are clueless because they do not know what happened before. I am anxiously awaiting the comments from my readers.

Chapters 5 and 6 are new and need to be written. After that, except for a few additions and some fine-tuning, most of the rest of the novel tells the story of Marty meeting with Kezia. Also, there is more in this novel about Eddie. Earlier posts have talked about Kezia and Eddie. Originally, it was part of the first book. Unfortunately, the original manuscript was so long I decided to cut this section out of Aurora Rescue and save it for this novel.
