The Long Blog Goodnight

This last week has been a busy one. I’ve been meaning to write this for days and here it is 4:30am on Wednesday (on the going-to-bed side of morning rather than the getting-up).

Everyone I met at the Chicago Gathering (send pictures!), thank you for introducing yourselves to me, for telling me a little about yourselves. Thank you for joining me on my Facebook page, Twitter, my website.

Last weekend, Ted Dekker and I announced a new upcoming series that we hope you will love. It’s a big claim to compare this series to the Circle—one loyal fans understandably raise an eyebrow at. I leave it to Ted and fans to make comparisons, and say only this: I hope you enjoy. We are working very hard. We both have our hands wrist-deep in the writing. So if we do our jobs right, you won’t know who wrote what.

The one downside to the announcement was timing—thank you, all of you who looked for my books. The Chicago Gathering happened to fall right before Demon and Havah’s B&H re-release (June 1 and August 1). Both books have new covers and extras not included in their original editions.

So this is what I have for you: Demon’s first chapter, going up on my site in PDF format within a couple days. Havah’s will follow shortly (you can currently read both on my website, just not in downloadable PDF format).

If you haven’t, check out the trailers (on the ToscaLee tab or Video tabs in Facebook, and also on YouTube and my website). You’ll also find other videos about these books and the upcoming Judas story as well.

If you are new to me and my books, I hope you enjoy. And I want to help you do that. As soon as I hear we back on early copies, I will offer give-aways on Facebook.

If you would like your books personalized at any time, see the "Acquire" tab on my website about free signed book plates. And you can order signed books of mine (only first edition for a few more weeks) at SignedBytheAuthor.com or by clicking on the quill icon on my website.

If you’ve been with me since the beginning… never leave me! I cherish you all. I think of you when I sit down to write. I have become friends with many of you. And I’ll have give-aways for you, too.

Here is my schedule: The first act of Iscariot, in very rough form, is written. I am working now on Forbidden I with Ted, after which I’ll go back to Iscariot (due in December on my birthday when I will be 29 again. ;) Both books release next year.

This summer, I’ll tour the last week of June through the first week of July. I’ll start in St. Louis and end in New York. It’s going to be waaaay too much fun. More details soon.

Some of you have asked if I will continue consulting while I’m writing, and the answer is no. It wouldn’t be possible. So I’ve stepped away for now to explore the life of Judas, co-dream the world of Forbidden and write other stories to come. This is happy news.

But now, it’s almost dawn. And so I’m to bed.

Ciao until evening.
