Last week I hinted at an announcement to be forthcoming. Well, said announcement has come forth.

After considering all options for Curse Merchant, I’ve decided to self-publish. I’m looking at a release date sometime this fall, all depending on how much I get done between here and there.

Naturally this has loaded my plate with lots of high fiber action items, including:

• having a professional buff the manuscript to a high polish
• securing professionally rendered cover art
• educate myself on book promotion and marketing
• whipping up a website 
• updating my promotional photos

I’m happy to say that as of this morning, those first three bullet points are in-process. This means that it won’t be long before I’ll be able to sound the clarions on the blog for a cover reveal. But for now, my focus is on building up this blog into something more like a central hub for my online presence.

You might have noticed the new color scheme. Also, I’m now rocking my own domain… so spread the word for jp-sloan.com with your friends! Hopefully the new theme better represents the tone and timbre of my writing.

In the meantime, I still have lots of work to do, and all of it is pretty exciting stuff! I’ll keep you posted…
