It's day 1 of the A to Z Challenge and also Day 1 of my new author blog. Gone are the grumpiness and bulldogs, though I know you're as sad as I am to see them go.
Anyway, in the short term at least the point of this blog is to sell my novel A Hero's Journey whenever it comes out. I wish I had a cool book trailer or anything like that. Instead I'll just give you a basic description of the story:
Cover by the excellent Rusty Webb
A 19-year-old genius named Emma Earl returns to her hometown of Rampart City to begin working her dream job at the Plaine Museum of Natural History. On her first day, though, strange and terrible things begin happening, starting with the appearance of a slab of black mineral that no one--including her--can figure out what it is or where it came from.
The black object is just the precursor to an ancient evil that descends upon the city. To oppose this evil, Emma is led to a suit of magic red plate armor that lets her become a hero known as the Scarlet Knight. But even with the power of the armor, Emma might not be able to stop darkness from destroying the city.
If you want to learn more about the story, you can find all sorts of stuff on the Special Features page--look for the tab below the header graphic or click here. We have character bios, deleted scenes, a guide to Rampart City, and the short story that started it all--Heart of a Hero.
At this point I don't know when the book is coming out, but I'd guess in summer sometime. Until then I'll keep plugging away. That's right, every letter in the A to Z challenge will relate to the book in some way.
Tomorrow, the origin of Emma's friend Becky Beech.

I know I've been gone a long time, but has A-Z changed? Or is this something you're doing on your own???
