R&I Part 2 is done.

Well, almost.

Just tweaking some dialogue and putting the final touches on the cover. It has been a long hard road; the past few months have been especially brutal... 90 - 100 hour weeks, one after the other. I don't think I'll be doing this kind of pace again. The next book will have a much more relaxed schedule and I'm going to put even more time and finesse into the pages.

Thanks everybody for tuning in.

Here's a page that won't spoil anything.

Awesome T, freaking awesome. can't wait to read the book...and then have the WHOLE STORY in my hot little hands, prepare the script, pitch to a studio, cast, direct....oooops did I say to much. It rocks man really. So now a word of advice for the next project....It don't get easier. 16 pgs almost killed me for AW2. and that was finessing the pgs. Anway you rule.
