After a lot of fighting with formatting (I still can't figure out why some of the formats fail conversion sometimes but will go through others). I have .epub, .mobi, and .pdf version of Selkies' Skins (book one): Castle and Well up on Smashwords. If I can figure out why the other formats won't work then I will find a way to make those available. I begin to suspect though that it may have something to do with special letters necessary in some of the words. I may have to do direct orders from the publishing website for some formats, which will require some time to have a discussion with our webmaster about how to go about implementing that. It was something I had been pondering doing anyway at some point other than email orders.
Closer to publish time I will get it up direct onto Amazon for Kindle. First I want to send out the ones that the Kickstarter backers get for their patience and funding assistance.
I am still waiting for the print edition's cover from Samantha Buckley. Once I have that in hand I can finish up the print edition and get that sent out to the distribution venues. Her art is more dynamic than the ebook edition's cover art (which was contributed to by my daughter) and I look forward to being able to showcase it.
Selkies' Skins
Current book in series Temple and Skinquest. Enjoy Castle and Well from Amazon, B&N and Smashwords while waiting for that and the prequel's audiobook "Pearls of Sea and Stone: Book of Seals".

Selkies #1 Progress
Teresa Garcia (or Teresa Amehana Garcia / Amehana Arashi) is a rural Northern California mountain woman. Art supplies are at premium in a house of artists. She has health, intermittent mobility, and nerve pain issues which she pushes through as well as possible, in order to complete her tasks. With a busy autistic son she does not always have enough time for her own projects, and her work projects often eclipse her own personal projects.
Teresa writes mainly fantasy. Her works include poetry, short stories, and novels. She also paints, narrates on ACX, illustrates, fiddles about with ASMR readings, Reiki Master, Priestess, and is open for commission. She writes challenges for the online browser based role play of Dragon Hearts (which don’t always get coded) and administrates for Dreaming Twilight in SL. She volunteers time as curator for on-line libraries overseeing live and pre-recorded programs. She also is one of the administrators for the Nisa/Dreaming Twilight role play group and helps develop the lore for their program. In addition she is the owner/operator of THG StarDragon Publishing and a co-owner of Dragon Hearts RPG.

Selkies' News
While we are still waiting on the cover art for the print edition of the book, I have scheduled the release of the ebook edition with the ebook's cover for March 16th, my birthday. Cross your fingers, this was originally planned for December/January release. Those that participated in the Kickstarter and chose an ebook as their preferred method of reading/delivery will have their copies in the next few weeks. I am still hoping for the print edition's cover art to be done soon so that I can include the front of that in the file.
The print edition will be ready as soon as Samantha is able to deliver her art to me. My apologies to everyone that has been waiting for so long, as we are several weeks behind schedule for release due to life events. However, be cheered that Illya Leonov is making good and fast progress on the audio edition.

What's on the desk
The contract between Jo Anne Spiese and myself to publish "The Witches' Prayerbook" has been signed as of today and work will begin on my end as soon as I've received her manuscript.
Regarding the first book of "Selkies' Skins" we are still waiting on the print cover art for release. Ebook will be released around the same time. Currently regarding the audio version, Illya Leonov has finished Chapter Seven and is working on Chapter 8. At the rate he works I expect to be proofing that very soon.

Selkies' Skins audiobook, it progresseth!
Selkies Skins Book One: Castle and Well is being voiced by Illya Leonov, and the first two chapters are recorded. I am really pleased with how the story sounds as read, and there are some really big treats already in just these first two. I am very looking forward to the whole book being completed.

Selkies' Skins #1 (Castle and Well) proof copy incoming
The first physical proof for the print edition of Selkies' Skins book one (Castle and Well) has been ordered and is expected to arrive around January 14th. This first proof does not have the official print cover art on it. I am still waiting for Samantha Buckley to be able to work on that. However while waiting if we go through the interior data that means that the ebook edition will be out that much faster.
Interior art for the print and ebook edition include and excerpt from a fanart cover that was done by Marantha D. Jenelle a short time before she crossed over, as well as two pieces done for the divider pages by myself. These will be in both print and ebook editions, the ebook edition being in color for those that have color enabled readers or reading via computer.
Work on the second half of Kirsty's skinquest story has begun.

Small update
I withdrew from my senior seminar today. It was due to start on the 6th. With all the stress I was already under, the mental and nervous system breakdown, the counseling and care I'm undergoing to rebuild myself, and then pile on that the kids' dad is dying and the fact that I will be needed to give them strength to get through... It is not the time to be spending most of my day doing school. It is unknown as to how much time he has left, all that is known is that if he is released from the hospital it will be into the assisted living facility.
I plan to return and finish my degree later on this year, but now is not the time. I am soooo very close, but being able to be strong for the kids is more important.
Writing will still be happening, that's part of how I deal with things. Selkies' Skins book one will still be posting. Work still continues on getting the print and ebook versions of that projects fine tuned and ready for release, even though it is a bit later than first anticipated.
