So what's the latest scoop? Read on to find out...
Out Of
Hell's Kitchen gets a new cover! The publisher is about to do a reprint,
which has allowed me to sneak in a few edits that have really bugged me
since the novel was first published. Along with the edits I've also managed
to tweak the cover a tiny bit (most importantly, I was able to use the
proper snake - the Aipysurus laevis - rather than the land reptile I
was stuck with.)
There will be more information coming about the reprint
soon, but for now, here's a peak at the new cover...
(sigh) Though it took me a little while to actually do
this, I've put together a memorial of sorts to my faithful dog Jackie, who I
lost on September 22nd. She was an amazing friend.
