It has been a while since my last update, so I thought I'd keep everyone posted. I am planning to have my next two books out by the holiday season. The last step during my self-publishing is the cover design. If everything goes very quickly, I can have the books out by Thanksgiving, but it all depends on the artist. I will have excerpts from the books posted on my site, and I will inform you once they are posted. I don't think I have mentioned this—I have been interviewed by the largest national Chinese daily newspaper, and the article came out on July 28. It also has a photo of me.

I have been getting good reviews for my first book, Daring Quests of Mystics. A couple is from Amazon.com. The newest edition of Daring Quests of Mystics is finally available after six months of wait! Can you believe it? It has no errors, and with a photo on the back cover. Again, if you'd like to buy an autographed copy for yourself or a friend, please e-mail me.

Thank you.

Take care and I wish you a fun-filled Halloween.
