Books come and go around here - chew 'em up and spit 'em out, but there are some that I actually look forward to. "Look forward to" is probably an understatement though. When I get word that John Connolly has a new book headed for the shelves, I start to get pretty excited. I've must have said this very same thing many times over the years this blog has been going and The Burning Soul is no exception.
Connolly writes the best 'crime fiction' in the world today. Take it from somebody who eats at least two a week - and I use the term 'crime fiction' loosely, for the ongoing saga of Charlie Parker is much more than that. The Burning Soul isn't released until September though... that's a long old wait.
Thrashed out some deadlines this morning for the oncoming Tattoo Bible II. Scary deadlines, but let's get it on all the same! We should have a cover image mocked up over the next couple of weeks for it that will make it a little more of a reality - it's kind of hard to see how it all fits together today with thousands of files littering dozens of folders but I'm looking forward to this one as it's more of an authoring project than an editing one.
Don't quote me on that though until it's over.
More later...
