I’ve got myself three wee ‘beta testers’ for the first book in the Jack Reusen series, my sons Logan and Alexander (who can be painfully honest at times) and their cousin Sophie. Over the next few days they’ll be letting me know if the Fey Flame does the trick, so until then I’ll just have to keep my fingers crossed.

In the mean time my attention has turned to artwork for both the digital and print editions. I’ve decided to keep things simple and try and capture as much of the feel of the book as I can. I’ll be putting together preliminary covers over the next few days and will get them posted on here.

Once the ‘beta test’ is complete the book will be sent to the printers and hopefully I’ll have a pile of signed copies available at Fun Junction (in Crieff and Perth, Scotland) sometime before Christmas (I’ll happily do a personally signed copy for you if I’m in when you’re there).

The digital (kindle) edition is basically ready and set to go off to Amazon, though it’ll need artwork attached too (we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but I’m guessing having no cover won’t be a good move).

For anyone who has stumbled on this site at this early stage I’ll be uploading some sample text from the books, along with artwork etc. as I go, so if you’d like to find out more about Jack and his friends then please follow this blog or track me down over on twitter to keep track of new posts (or even just to have a blether).

UPDATE: ‘Jack Reusen and the Fey Flame’ is now available in both paperback and in digital format, click this link to find out more about the book and for links on where to get hold of your copy. Hope you like it 🙂
