Edits are completed on "Swords of the Six" and the typesetter will start designs for the book's interior in the next two weeks. All except two spot illustrations are done. The ISBN and barcode for the novel have been purchased.
I appeared at the Canterbury Public Library on Thursday evening and Saturday from noon to 2 o'clock. Advertising confusion and short notice resulted in small turnouts. But I sold several posters and more bookmarks.
Even if I sit there for two hours and only meet one fan, particularly a young one, it makes my day. As an artist, I want to be appreciated for the time, the effort, and patience I've put into my work.
I have two more appearances scheduled. More will be forthcoming. For now, I will be at Scotland Public Library on February 12th from 6 to 8 o'clock, and will reappear at Canterbury Public Library February 21st from 10 to 12 o'clock.

WELCOME TO THE WRITING SITE OF SCOTT APPLETON
"Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones." -Proverbs 16:24
In a world where morality is forsaken and Christ neglected, wholesome books are uncommon. The themes of my writing are love, self-sacrifice, and honor.
I see my generation turning from God to the gods of this world. I see homes torn apart in the pursuit of pleasure and self-gratification. Children are murdered by the millions every year . . . without ever seeing the world outside their mothers' wombs. Through fiction I strive to encourage those who are willing, to stand against these things and be heroes and heroines; chivalrous, gentle, full of righteous indignation, and the fear and love of their Creator.

Woohoo!!! It is so exciting to be done with the edits!!!! (-:
It was really neat meeting some young fans who are anxiously waiting for the book. :) And Scott has an excellent way with talking to people about his book.
Can't wait to be selling the book!!!
