New Books Coming Soon!

I finally have an update in regards to the squeal to "World" Killer.

Around the "World" (The DW Mysteries Book Two) -  It's being edited now.  I found a new editor who was willing sign on.  I'm hoping it will be done sometime in June.  It should be released within a few days after editing is completed.

Imagineered Death (The DW Mysteries Book Three) - It's being edited now.  My normal editor is currently working on it.  I hope to have it in hand sometime in September or October.

Nemesis (The Advocates - Book One) - Principle writing has been completed!  At this point I don't know who will edit this book.  My guess is, whichever editor finishes their book first, is going to get this one.

I've received some feedback on the rough drafts of Around the "World" and Imagineered Death.

Around the "World" is a great step up from "World" Killer.  "World" Killer laid the foundation and Around the "World" really takes off with the story and characters.

Imagineered Death had the best results by far.  I was worried about this one because it takes a bold path.  I thought that might alienate some people.  It actually did the opposite.  It seemed addict the reader instead.

No one has read Nemesis yet.  That book is going to irk some people, but in a good way :-)

1st Draft of Around the "World" Is Complete

The first draft of Around the "World" (the sequel to "World" Killer) is complete.  However, it will not be released anytime soon.

Why?

Let me put it this way.  My editor is currently cleaning up "World" Killer.  After that Twisted Disney is getting a, desperately needed, overhaul.  After Twisted Disney is done, CMDTA's Pictorial Guide to Disney World is getting updated.  Granted, Twisted Disney and the Pictorial Guide will go much faster than World Killer.

I can say this.  World Killer was a fast read. It came in at around 63,500 words which is roughly a 250 page book.  Around the World is bigger in everyway.  The first draft came in at 91,500 words and that's after I bumped two events to the next book.

The story in World Killer was dark, and did not end on a happy note.  Around the World picks up the story a year later.  As you read, you will find out what happened to everyone from the first book.

I'm hoping that by the fall it will be fully edited and ready for release.

When Is CMDTA's Pictorial Guide to Disney World Being Released?

I announced a few weeks ago that I was putting together a new kind of guide book.  I have been working on it.  The Magic Kingdom section is done and the Epcot section is partly done.  I had expected to have it completely done by now.  So what happened?

Not to be too deeky but one little spark happened.  Another idea came to me and I had a lot more passion for that than I did for the guide. 

I have finished the first and second drafts of "World" Killer.  It's a murder mystery that takes place in Disney World.  

I have a few support pages to finish and I'm working on the cover.  Once those are done the book is going out to a few people for review.  With this book I'm not sure if I'm going to send it to a few publishers or just put it up on Amazon like I did with Twisted Disney.

Right on the surface "World" Killer is a much better book.  It's been edited and a majority of the typos have been removed. 

My guess is it will be released within a couple months.  If anyone wants a copy let me know and I'll send a PDF. 

The guide should be out early next year.  I doubt a publisher is going to be interested in that should it should be out shortly after it's finished.
