Okay, it's September and "Altered Earth" isn't out yet. The third book of the trilogy is/will be when published about 100 pages longer than the first two. I needed the extra pages to give each character a satisfactory end. In terms of word count these books are right around 200,000. That's equal to Rowling's "Deathly Hallows." Which surprises me as in person I'm a man of few words. Guess I've been saving them up for my books.

For those of you who haven't checked out the first two books, I do break down the whole story by character and then have several shorter sections for each character or combo of characters per chapter. A good, steady pace has always been important for me as a reader and I have very purposefully included that in this series. As a "brief history of humankind" I have covered a great deal of territory both in terms of planets and time in the books.

If you want to get a taste of my writing without having to dive into a long narrative, check out "Seema's Story" (http://tinyurl.com/8ofaqhl). It is $0.99 on Kindle and is a collection of the sections that focus on Seema, one of the major characters of the series.

"Altered Earth" will be out in the third or fourth week of September.

Thanks!
