Teasers

Told you I'd be back. And so is she....

Maya and the Return of Her Author

Hey, it's been a year since I last posted on this here blog! And I've got a good reason to post again! My long-suffering heroine's original comic/graphic novel (which I began work on waaaay back in 2004-2007) is finally undergoing a metamorphosis, resurrection, reimagining, rebooting... well, I'm working again! The core of IPTP Agent Maya has always been the graphic novel stories, with the books being "jumbo-sized" tales better suited in prose. Well, I got sidetracked, distracted and otherwise occupied by Neptune's Deadliest Rings and Moons of Ice and Fire and two things called Jaunt and Ether to continue the comics. And frankly, I was never 100% happy with them anyway. Too many compromises for too little gain and too much work. Now, with some better software, better writing chops (thanks to JauntWorld) and more computing power to drive my ambitions, Maya's official illustrated adventures are commencing.

It's still a little early to post images, but believe me, the characters are coming along, and as I'm satisfied, I'll post some teasers. This is very much a work in progress, but the years of dissatisfaction are fast melting away as I jump the hurdles that used to be mountains!

So expect a slight site revamp as those images become the new icons on the right. Stay tuned.

Maya and Chiron's Arrow

It's about time I started working on a third Maya book! I'm barely into the first draft, but Maya and Chiron's Arrow is the name and our favorite IPTP agent will be in the thick of it again. I can't give you much in the way of details yet, but I can say there'll be plenty of action, space travel and banter with our main characters. And as always we'll have a dastardly villain(ess!) to contend with! So stayed tuned.

New Ebooks!

Well, I didn't intend to be gone for so long from the blog, but I do have some new ebooks to let you in on!
For those of you with a Nook, you can now download here:
Maya and Neptune's Deadliest Ring
Maya and the Moons of Ice and Fire
And for Kindle, you can get both ebooks here:

Maya and the Moons of Ice and Fire
Just 99 cents apiece, so don't hesitate!

2010

Working on the revised cover for Moons of Ice and Fire, so expect a new illustration soon, with plans also afoot for ebooks for Maya, as well. 2009 was a busy year for JauntWorld, but I haven't forgotten Maya, Xibalba or Skeeto (as if they'd let that happen).

Stay tuned in 2010!

Neptune's Deadliest Ring...

...Has a brand-new, spiffier cover befitting its space locale. I designed the new one after some rethinking recently, and am much happier with the result. Space is dark and mysterious, so why shouldn't the cover of my favorite spacefaring heroine's first title be the same?

Moons of Ice and Fire to follow....

More To Come, Soon....

So stay tuned. I've been sprucing up the two Maya titles, giving them a bit of a polish.
