• The Time Traveler

  2005 Aug 22

  If you some how don't know... yes... it is finally done and published {load lifting sigh of relief} A very simple project that took longer than it was ever meant to take. As a bonus, I also published the original version (in e-book) of the story. It's interesting to look at for comparison, and see how much was kept (some of it I didn't even realize was in the original ended up in the latest).
  
  So... buy the books, have fun, and then sit and wait for the novels to get finished (and Cyd)... I over work myself...
  
  

• Yep... it happened...

  I said I was done with the poems unless somehow I came accross enough extra stuff for a second edition. Well... I guess I jinxed myself.
  Second Edition's out...
  
  The Time Traveler will be ready soon, it's going through editing delays.
  

• Two books, Two authors, none of them David...?

  2005 Jul 22

  As you may have noticed, I presently have 2 books published, but they're both different authors with neither of them being under my name (except for publishing credits). So, the answer to it all:
  
  “RavenStarr” is an old pen name of mine that I went under when the majority of the work in "the Raven's Flight" was written. I still use it once in a while for things which I still dub to RavenStarr-ish (basically something that's more "artistic", something that comes from a little bit deeper in me). Since it was all written under that pen name, it seemed only proper to publish it under that name.
  Michelle Ann Stevenson, on the other hand, as you may have gathered from the copyrights, is actually someone else. She is the mother of my son, who's work I feel deserves to be seen by as many people as humanly possible (I personally believe her work is considerably better than mine). I promised her once that it would be published, and now it is, so go buy it by the dozens.
  
  
  Now... where's the work with my name?
  That you must wait for. As noted on the storefront, it's in the process of coming out.
  All stories now... I'm done with the poems for awhile (actually, forever, unless I come across something that got away--enough to come out with a second edition). RavenStarr's collection was mostly intended as a way of getting my pilling collection of work out and over with, and just out of my system... I feel better now.
  As you may have also noticed, I included a Cyd story in "the Raven's Flight", this is a story that really teeters on the edge of which name should get it (seriously, the two names were going at it about this one), for someone deep, you will realize that it says more than what's upfront (RavenStarr), and then for someone that wants to skip deep and just read about battle (that'd be more "David") that works too. And, if nothing else, it gives an example of what's to come.
