HoC Bk2 is out!

Good News!

Shuffled: House of Cards Bk 2 is finally out (digitally) and ready for purchasing!

Go here to purchase: HoC Bk2

The blurb on the back:

Sarah and her friends reached the Tapestry alive! 
She’s not sure how long they’ll stay that way. 

Life at the Tapestry isn’t as easy as Magicks think. 
Sal wants to run away, 
Sarah suspects Dee’s a lost mermaid. 
School is life threatening. 
Worst of all, her guardian is a ghost! 
Oh, and the Lurker King is still on the hunt. 

It’s been a tough first week. 
But it has nothing on the second!

The Tapestry gang is back and better than ever! They've got a lot to learn as the danger increases, some questions are answered, and more begin.

Have a great new year and enjoy reading more about Sarah and her friends in their next adventure!

Good news,

Shuffled, Hoc bk2 update

We've finished the 2nd draft and are working on the 3rd.

So far, we have over 50 chapters! We're going to be doing a lot of editing. Mom usually likes to stick to thirty chapters or so. This way, the story is full but the readers won't have to feel like they're wading through fluff.

It's part of the challenge the book presents. This magical world is enormous! And even the small things tend to have a story behind them. I actually like all the learning that's done in the SKS classes, I find it fascinating. But, still, we might have to cut some of these classes because it's not important enough to the story.
It's possible we'll post them here. But we'll see.

Shuffled-Front Cover

Well,

Here's the front cover of book 2!

This is a scene that will be happening in the book. 

I'm very excited about the armor, like I told you. I've always been fascinated with armor and I've wanted a suit of it for as long as I can remember. :) In any case, I helped with the concept for the special armor that Sarah's wearing.

Our artist is very good at drawing armor, as you can see. I love the reflected light and all the fine detail that I had him put on it. 

The armor is important and necessary for the mask that's in that tank. It's something you'd rather not mess with.

We need to figure out the blurb on the back of the book. Once the book is closer to completion, then we'll have a better idea about what to say.

Enjoy!

HoC Bk2 - Shuffed Update

Hello Everyone!

Just to let you know, we're still in the editing process. We have several more rounds to go. So far, bk2 has 500+ pages but it is in the early stages. We have some exciting scenes coming up and a tad more action! ;)

I've hurt my wrist so, I can't do much drawing at the moment. I'll hopefully get that fixed soon. Can't wait to get back to the sketches.

Also, to alert you, we have some big stuff going on here at home. So, don't expect much during the month of September. Hopefully, you'll get more fun stuff to look at in October!

HoC Bk2 Shuffled: Update 2

Hello to all our wonderful readers!

Here's my update:

1. We're working with our cover artist on the 2nd book cover. (I'm loving the armor! ;))

2. I'm still editing the first draft and filling in more gaps that will help the book go smooth.

3. I've still got a lot of posts that I've put on a large "To Do" list. (Due to life getting in the way, I haven't been able to post as much as I'd like.)


Hope your summer is going well!

HoC Bk2: Shuffled - Update

I'm sorry that I haven't posted as much.

I'm working on editing the first draft of Shuffled, the 2nd book in the HoC series. (We'll let you know if the title changes) I'm also thinking of all the chapter heading illustrations as I go through it. Plus, we're working with the cover artist for the 2nd novel. Busy, busy, busy!

But don't worry, I have several posts that are still being worked on. I have 2 more for LBWs, with one nearing completion and over 16 other posts on the "to do" list! I'm sure more posts will crop up in my mind as I go along.

This summer will be fun as I continue to visually bring more of the HoC universe into play; so when you read about it, you'll be able to picture the creatures, people, and anything else we come up with.

I hope you will be able to continue to emerge yourselves in this magical world of adventure and excitement!
