It has been a busy week, they are all busy but this week has been really busy. I have been reading through the stories for the anthology we are putting together on the subject of “First Submission”. We have also been re-covering our old stories and re-issuing them. The latest two are very close to me as the first story Toy’s Story written by Robert Cloud was the first cover I did for Black Velvet Seductions.
The second story to be re-released was The Crimson Z, a paranormal anthology, this too was largely the brainchild of Robert Cloud. I was a little reluctant to re-cover the book as I loved the illustration I did for the book. Time moves on and we needed a more modern look to our books so reluctantly I changed to this new cover. Other reasons for my rather sentimental thoughts on these books were these were the last projects I worked on with Robert as soon after he died of cancer. He was a lovely man and it was a pleasure working with him. The other reason was Crimson Z saw me take the step from writer to author with the story The Anniversary. There is no feeling like seeing your name in print holding your book for the very first time.
We have two more books due out next week, more of those in due time.
