The Corruption on display in New York Today!!!

The Book Expo America opened today in New York. If you are going you will find The Corruption at the Combined Book Exhibit. We were told "if you can't find your book just ask the people working there" but hopefully you will find ours easily. There are two copies of it in the exhibit, but both are proof copies with incomplete cover design. The books you can purchase on Amazon have had many typos corrected and have a complete cover (with the stone background throughout).

Book Expo America!!

All of our titles - including The Corruption - will be at the Combined Book Exhibit in New York at the Book Expo America. If you are going to be in NY (or if you live there) from May 29 - 31, you should consider attending this event and taking a look at The Corruption in person.

Keep in mind that the version of the Corruption on display was the proof version with the incomplete cover. (The sides and back are black on the proof - but the final version you can now purchase has the stone look on everything.)

Some real history.

If you have been following us, you know the "Histories of Eden" is loosely based off of a true story. In Genesis 6, it says:

"And it happened that, when humankind began to multiply upon the face of the ground, daughters were born to them. Then the sons of God saw the daughters of humankind, that they were beautiful. And they took for themselves wives from all that they chose. And Yahweh said, "My spirit will not abide with humankind forever in that he is Also of flesh. And his days shall be 120 yrs." The Nephalim were upon the earth in those days, and afterward,  when the sons of God went into the daughters of humankind and bore children unto them. These were the mighty warriors from ancient times, men of renown.-(Lexham English Bible)

Some argue that the "sons of God" do not refer to angels, but the word that is used usually refers to  heavenly beings - not sons of earthly kings. Some might also quote where Jesus said that "the angels in heaven do not marry or are given in marriage..."Of course, the key phrase is "angels in heaven."

These angels abandoned their posts in heaven and came to live on the pre-diluvian earth. The apocryphal book of Enoch records about 200 or so of them. According to the Book of Enoch, the Watchers brought knowledge and technology to man and helped them to create advanced civilizations before the flood.

YEAH! We have a Cover!!!

Below you will get to see the cover for The Corruption. Our artist came through and got it done in time to make the New York BEA (more about that later)!

Now, this is only the front of the book, so the one going to New York will have a little different back (we haven't gotten the back yet). But, I think this is definitely promising. As soon as we have the whole cover, we will be putting it on Amazon.

Book Cover Update

We are hoping to have a book cover update soon. We will be getting the file in jpeg. Since CreateSpace requires a pdf, we learned how to make that conversion today.

We really need this book published by May 8th, so we may have to consider the temporary book cover/ and then trade it out with the natural one if it isn't done by then.

As we are chopping more things out, we are thinking about adding some of the descriptions here. What do you think?

Final edits

We want to give you the best book possible, so while we wait for the artwork, we are doing more editing. The book will probably not be perfect, but we are really trying to get it up there with traditional publishing houses that are a little older than us.

Most of the editing at this point is chopping it down to make it a book that doesn't drag - well maybe the prologue drags, but you can always skip that. Think about the prologue for the Hobbit and you will understand what we mean.

If you read through the first chapter in April, and then you get the book, it would be interesting to know if you think our editing helped. I know when I watch movie cut scenes that ended up on the chopping block, I am usually pretty glad they didn't include them in the actual movie. But, maybe you feel different.

The nice thing is we can always feature the scenes we cut here on our blog.

Thank you for bearing with us!

Okay, so you can now access the entire first chapter of the book on here if you read all the posts for April. Our goal was to launch the book, now, but as we were rushing to edit it, we overlooked a minor detail - the cover design.

If you have been following our blog, you know that we seem to have a hard time keeping artists around here. The first artist we hired to do Lillith (back in August 2013) just called today and says he is finally ready to give us what he has, but he isn't satisfied with it. As soon as we get it, we will post it. If you have seen the sketches we posted, it would be hard to think of a picture this guy does that isn't excellent, but artists get very self-conscious about their work.

The next guy we hired took our artwork in a little different direction, but we were happy. We ran into some problems on another book, though, and had to stop artwork on this one.

Naturally, he was my first choice when I thought about a book cover, but he isn't doing so much artwork right now because he has moved into trailers. Hmmm, maybe he would do our trailer.

So, on Monday we hired a cover designer, but it of course takes time. Right now we are thinking this will be done by next week, but we will keep you posted - and we will literally post the coverart as we get it.
