Shadows of Our Fathers Update

I’m going through the 2nd draft process for Shadows of Our Fathers, and I’m currently on Chapter 20 of 24 in my deep readthrough. If you’re not familiar with Shadows of Our Fathers, it is the 3rd book that completes the Primal Patterns’ initial trilogy (I’ve been calling the first trilogy “Lucifer’s Fall” for a while now, as it catalogues Jehovah’s and Lucifer’s battles across the heavens). The book is due to my editor on November 10th, and I have every intention of making that deadline. So, if you’ve been waiting for Shadows of Our Fathers, then that is good news.

However, there’s still a lot to do–even more so than was left to be done with the first two books. My cover artist is non-responsive to requests for a cover, so the look and feel of the series is going to have to change. And while I’m at it, I might as well redo the back covers and lay out the purpose of the series a little better there.

The latter might take a while. I am currently looking at potentially soliciting services from Damonza for book covers and formatting and potentially looking into a marketing service. You guys have suggestions? Feel free to leave comments.
