Even as Dalton Publishing sends Sleeper Awakes to press, I am up to my elbows in revisions for a new, combined edition of my first two novels. Work on the text of the second revised edition of Prelude to a Change of Mind is complete. I have just begun work on the revised edition of Entranscing. The idea is to maintain the separate identities of the two titles, but print them within one cover. It makes sense to do this both because it is more economical to produce two short books as one larger one, and because Entranscing is specifically a sequel to Prelude to a Change of Mind in a kind of relationship no other novel in The Hidden Lands of Nod series will repeat. Time frame for production is very near term, possibly as early as this fall.
Besides spending evenings shut up in extremely low geosynchronous orbit here at Stikmanz Intergalactic HQ, trying to accomplish a ferocious and inventive self-edit, I have public interface activities on the calendar. Coming up soonest is the Sleeper Awakes book release, June 23rd, 7:00 p.m., at BookPeople, 603 North Lamar (Austin).

Following close on the heels of that event, I’ll show off the new release at the Stikmanz table in the dealer room at ApolloCon 2009, June 26th through 28th, in Houston.

I’ll be back in Austin for a booksigning at Dragon’s Lair Comics & Fantasy, 6111 Burnet Road, July 11th, 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.

While you prepare yourself for these momentous occasions, you should check out the oracle of the day at the Plumb Social site Dalton Publishing maintains for The Hidden Lands of Nod series: http://stikmanz.plumbsocial.com/. An Oracle of the Day widget created by Deltina Hay is also available for installation on your own website. Go to Google Gadgets and search for Nod’s Way.

More later. Revisions call.
