New Cover Art for Book 2

I just finished the new cover for my second book. I am steadily working on it and I am up to 31 pages and into the second chapter detailing various recipes and instructions for Banishment and Reversal spell work and crafts. There have been a few setbacks and issues preventing me from moving full steam ahead, but with each page I write I get closer to my goal of having it done by the end of January. I will attempt to go for 300 pages and that is about 10 pages or so a day. Below is my cover art and I hope everyone finds it tasteful. I felt the picture on the front was a fitting choice for the title, and as you can see on the back text that is basically the gist of what the second book will mostly cover. We will delve into the past 16 years of my magical journey and experiences I have went through and overcome, and there will be snippets of other subjects of my personal life during this past year tio bring us up to present day,  along with my recipes, charms, spells, and techniques and how to be using them. The color of the text and title is mean to be silver although I will not know what "silver" will look like until I get a printed copy of the proof of my book. I am scrambling like mad rabbit to find every scrap of notes and bits and pieces of my drafts, journal entries and even blog  pages. Recapturing every word I have written. Typing, copying and pasting it all down onto a manuscript the size of a 6x9 square is becoming somewhat stressful and I have found myself awake at all hours until even daylight working  fixedly on just one thing trying to word it right and get the ideas flowing correctly. I am having a much harder time with this book than the first one as far as piecing it together. I keep finding words and phrases from drafts and other pages I have already written down that need tweaking and editing, and recipes that need upgrading or added into, and when a new idea pops in my head I write that one down too and realize oh there's another page I have to add into a chapter somewhere and make it fit. I apologize for the short post, I am swamped to my eyes in other things at home and I need sleep it is 4:23am here. Good night everyone and Blessed Be!

"Hearts on Fire :Draconia Rising" Update

Hello everyone and Bright Blessings. It's been a few minutes since I was here last, and I come in to report some great news. "Hearts on Fire: Draconia Rising" is currently at 40 pages and slightly over 15,200 words as of this writing. I am quite in love with my new writing program LibreOffice 5, it makes writing so much easier to get done. To give you all a tiny glimpse of my newest work, here is a snippet from page 7, where Tristan McKinley adopts for his daughter, a very unusual kitten... "Thirty minutes later, Tristan pulled into his driveway, and parked in the massive three car garage. His daughter was literally bouncing up and down on the deck, as apparently grandpa had broke the news about a special present was on its way. He barely had time to get out of the car and go towards the passenger door, when an excited squeal greeted him and a tiny weight collided with his knees. Lily stared up at him with anticipation and asked “Can I see her, what does she look...
