After spending a couple of months negotiating with a publisher for Demon's Torment, after which I emerged without a new contract, the book is now contracted with Purple Sword Publishing and will release July 8th. Here's the new cover art:

It looks fantastic! I absolutely love it. To go along with the re-release of Demon's Torment, I've also revamped my website, giving it a new look. Go check it out: www.racheldthompson.com.

Current Projects

I've added an expected word count for my works-in-progress in the hopes that it will keep me motivated to finish. I've grown especially fond of the series I'm working on right now and the characters involved, and I really want to see it become something people will enjoy. I'm tentatively planning two trilogies in the series, with a third one possible, depending on how it goes. The story arc features two brothers, both turned into vampires on different sides of the continent by completely different masters. Both must learn to cope with the change. While one embraces his new lifestyle, the other tries to deny it.

Elliot, the star of the Immortal trilogy, is a young playboy, with access to everything he could ever dream of, but still he wants more. To be young forever is an impossible dream, but when a dark beauty approaches him and offers him exactly that, he can hardly refuse her. But Elliot is about to discover that immortality comes with a price.

The eternal trilogy follows Elliot's older brother, Carter. Awoken to the vampiric lifestyle a full two years before Elliot, Carter's had more time to adjust--to embrace it. And he does just that with startling efficiency. A realist, Carter is used to doing what needs to be done, both in his career and his life. Surviving is no different. But he's changed since becoming a vampire, discarding his careful practices and embracing his wild side.

Snow Day

The entire state is shut down today, so I finished my March writing goals earlier than I thought I would. Plus I've reorganized my site, removing everything Forbidden Publications from it. Starting tomorrow I'll be starting the search for a new publisher. I think everyone who's supported me so far, and I really hope I have more out for people to read soon. Thanks!

Weather

I'm a little behind on my March word count due to the bad weather we've been having in North Dakota lately. Blizzards, flooding--it's a mess. But I have a few more days yet to reach my 30,000 word goal, so I'm still going for it.

Sad news for the e-publishing world

It was announced yesterday that as of March 30, 2009 Forbidden Publications will be shutting down. This came as a shock to most of its authors, but it is not due to financial difficulties. In my opinion, Forbidden was one of the best e-pubs out there and they were a pleasure to work with. I am sad to see them go. Rights for all three of my books will be reverting back to me and I'll be shopping Demon's Torment around to other publishers as soon as April rolls around. I will probably hold off on the other two until I've found a new home. For anyone that was thinking of buying Demon's Torment, make sure you do it before the 30th. Otherwise you will have to wait awhile. Demon's Torment will still be available in paperback format through Lulu.com.
