Big trouble … averted

Hey kids … can’t blog for long. Just wanted to apologize for being incommunicado for the past week. My computer went the way of the dodo late last week, and I’m just now clawing my way back into the digital age.

I’m not sure how this setback will affect the release date of Book Two. I’m going to do my best to stick to the Sept. 26 release schedule. Cross your fingers!

More to come, 7th Son fans….
