April 1st marks the start of the A to Z Blogging Challenge. I took part in the challenge a few years ago and had a great time, met some awesome people, and read some fantastic blogs. I wholeheartedly recommend checking it out, even if you're not taking part.
For me, this year, April feels like a clean slate. I spoke last week about feeling like me again, and I've got months of great things coming up, from books to conventions and more. It's time to get excited.
This past weekend I finished the first round of edits on Final Hope. I say first round, but my editor was so pleased with the original manuscript that we were able to get story edits and line edits done in the same batch. Very little has changed and the story remains exactly as I imagined when I sat down to write it. I'm so proud of this book, you guys have no idea. I want its release to go off with a bang.
Since I don't have a definite release date yet, I can't really schedule things properly. However we're confident that the book should be out for around October/November, as with the previous two. That gives me about 6 months to spread the word and get things organised.
This year, Nathan Shepherd's story ends.

New Beginnings
Paul Anthony Shortt believes in magic and monsters. In ghosts and fairies. The creatures that lurk under the bed and inside the closet. The things that live in the dark, and the heroes who stand against them. Above all, he believes that stories have the power to change the world, and the most important stories are the ones which show that monsters can be beaten.
