Just something I thought I’d tender for consideration.  These are the titles of Dave’s books in order of publication.

• Gifts From a Quantum God
• Jason’s Tale
• Sing Larentia’s Song
• Evolution’s My Gig
• Are You Taking Desperation’s Call?
• When Kings Come Knocking
• Introduction to Hell
• Compassion in Annihilation’s Caress

Some have been made into movies.  Another one is in production as a film.

The story continues…

Along those lines, here are a few updates.

The original short story was 98 pages long.  I believe the document converts to most standard book sizes on the scale of 1:1.3 or 1:1.5.  That means the original work was at least 128 pages long.  It’s grown significantly since then.  (Of course, conversion ratios are guesstimates only.)

The entire first chapter precedes the original story.  Dave’s first dream that you read about now doesn’t occur until the beginning of the third chapter (could change) and is no longer the first relevant dream.

There are between 17 and 20 chapters in the book.  Give or take.

The porch and living room scenes have been expanded.  While that’s true of everything you saw before, those two events needed some major reworking and augmentation.  They’ve both received it and are still in review.

The book he’s writing (Compassion in Annihilation’s Caress) is better explained because it’s important.

You learn a lot more about Beth and their relationship because… well, it’s important.

It has definitely been retitled to accommodate the new name for the darkness.  The new title is one word only.

And I’m still working on it but am really excited about how it’s developing.  I think I’m still on track to have it ready for submission by spring.  Time will tell…
