The Believers: Breeders 2 Status Update

Friends, fans and anyone on the blogosphere, I wanted to give you an update as to how The Believers: Breeders 2 is doing. The good news is I have worked on it every day since March and it is shaping up to be something I am really proud of. I admit there were times when self-doubt, that ugly ol' monster, came knocking. Writing a sequel is hard by any measure and I had many moments where I fretted that book 2 would disappoint. But, I'm happy to say I don't think readers will be disappointed with this installment. Feedback from beta readers is positive and I'm feeling good about the direction in which the book is going. I might go as far as to say that it is nearly ready. 

Today, September 30th, I will send my worked-over and polished-up draft to a fabulous editor, Ms. Lindsey Alexander, who was recommended to me by author A.G. Henley of The Scourge. If you haven't seen A.G.'s sequel, you should pick it up. She's sold a ton of books which only solidifies my belief that Lindsey is going to rock the socks off my draft. Once she is finished with her edit and gets it back to me, I have to make changes. Then I need to get the book out to my copy editor for all those tweaks that make the book shine. Then it will be ready for the world.

My timeline is an end of November release, just in time for Christmas and cozy by-the-fire reading. I know you've been waiting patiently, but I promise it'll all be worth it. Here's the teaser to get you by. 

They’ve escaped the Breeders, yet their journey has just begun.

On the road back home, Clay, Riley and her family are captured by a savage group of physically huge, but mutated men. Their destination: the Citadel run by the seemingly psychic religious prophet, the Messiah. Somehow he knows their secrets. He wants them to join his group of believers, but only if they’ll drink the baptismal water and swear allegiance.

But, there’s something wrong with the water. Something wrong with the people. If they can’t figure out what, they’ll become one of them and become a believer forever.

Today I'm happy to host fellow indie writer and all around person extraordinaire Megan Thomason to my blog. Megan is revealing the cover to her book arbitrate, the thrilling sequel to daynight. Here's the blurb to pique your interest. 


Remember The Second Chance Institute (SCI). Earth's benevolent non-profit by day, Thera's totalitarian regime by night. They’ve stepped up their game on Earth and on Thera—infiltrating political parties, preying on the downtrodden, and planning offensive maneuvers. And they’re handing out more “second chances” than ever before. The SCI’s abuse of their charter leads to Arbiter oversight and bitter consequences.

Remember Kira Donovan. Broken, burdened, and evading those who wish her harm, Kira enlists the Arbiters’ help when forced to return to the clutches of the SCI and her angry, estranged love.

Remember Blake Sundry. Exiled, determined, and packing an agenda, Blake seeks assistance on Earth and Thera to use his newfound knowledge to bring down the SCI.

Remember Ethan Darcton. Overworked, emotional, and holding a grudge, Ethan hunts down his stolen property, but finds himself in awkward territory, stuck between the Arbiters and the SCI.


Full of action, competing agendas, romantic entanglements, humor, twists and turns, arbitrate is Megan Thomason's third installment in the award-winning daynight series after daynight and clean slate complex (a daynight story).

Praise for daynight:

2012 Book of the Year Award Finalist-Young Adult Fiction, ForeWord Reviews

"Sure to win over YA readers looking for a dangerous, dystopian adventure story" --Kirkus Reviews

"Gripping young adult dystopian novel; compelling conflicts; high stakes; powerful narrative; surprises keep coming; strong writing; page-turner; engaging characters; Readers will be hungry for the sequels.”--BlueInk Review (starred review)
