I announced back near the end of May I would begin podcasting Jack in the Green, the sequel to Goblin Market, in July. Well, here we are in August and as you can see, I have yet to start podcasting Jack in the Green. Life gets in the way sometime, but that does not mean Jack in the Green is not coming.

Acadia says I do this every week so I can beat myself up over the long list of things I created for myself to do, but didn’t do. As much as I would like to say he’s right, this week, that’s not the case.

I worked this week. In fact, that is all I did. Since starting my new job, I wanted to make sure my focus didn’t waver so I could get a feel for what would be required of me every week.

Today’s going to be a big, relaxing day with our friends from Canada, the Church family, and after the week James and I had, we definitely deserve a long day of good friends, R&R and outdoor awesome. I am really looking forward to it, and will be taking lots of pictures of our fun day at Ricketts Glen State Park and Lake Jean.

As I mentioned, this has been a huge week. After going over the final edits and proofreads of From the Dark Side: A Charity Anthology, I started preparing it to preview on Smashwords with James’ Sony eReader. After the file spent literally 8 or so hours downloading on Smashwords, I got an email from the boss of Smashwords telling me uploading sample copies of things was against the smashwords law. Sorry boss of Smashwords. The good thing is, we got to preview the copy anyway, and by Wednesday night, I settled in to start uploading to both Amazon and Smashwords for Friday’s release date.

So, if you were hanging around over the weekend, you discovered that I finally finished podcasting Goblin Market Saturday night. Lament and woe, but have no fear. This is not the end of Goblin Market, for there will be more, exciting Goblin Markety goodness in the near future.

“Whatchou talking about, Willis?” you ask.

Well, I mentioned this a couple weeks ago, but wanted to mention it again in case you missed it. I am currently editing the draft of Goblin Market that was podcasted. I will be going through, cleaning it up nice and pretty, then I will be sending it out to a handful of amazing people to get some editorial feedback. Once I get the feedback, I will go over it one last time, make final edits and changes and then the process of formatting for Amazon and Smashwords will begin. After the novel is all sparkly and formatted, I will upload and begin selling it for eReaders.

. . .and so it was written in the ancient tomes by He Who First Walked in the Garden: a divided kingdom will reunite under a child who has been wrought from the two worlds. Empowered by Upland reason and underground magyck, this child will restore peace to the divided kingdom, but only after facing his archrival, his blood shadow, and triumphing over the darkness. –the Dryad Prophecies

Orphaned shortly after his birth, and left on his Aunt Christina and Uncle Wil’s doorstep, Jack is the only tie Christina has to her estranged sister, Meredith, who disappeared seventeen years earlier. At sixteen, Jack is a dreamer and lover of the forest. He is everything his Uncle Wilhelm never wanted in a son, and whenever there’s work to be done in the fields, Jack has a habit of making himself scarce by slipping into the peace and comfort of the woods.
