Brilliant! I can’t wait 😃
And another one… Been waiting for this! 🙂
Thank you Clare, Patience, David, Dan, Elkwood, Justin, Daniel, Clair, John!
Here’s something for you that’s not really a spoiler. In the opening scene, I use the Shakespeare quote from the Tempest: “We are such stuff as dreams are made on”, except I shorten it by removing that “on” at the end.
I say that “We are such stuff as dreams are made” is correct archaic English, and Shakespeare added the “on” to hit the beat (10 beats per line in that speech by Prospero). I’ve been told off by some beta readers and my editor for this.
What say you?
Glad the next is almost ready. As for the quote, it depends. Were you quoting Shakespeare, in which case you should have used the whole line. If you just liked the sentiment, I don’t think it was necessary to include the “on”, since it is not proper English grammar to end a sentence on a preposition. Just my humble opinion. 🙂
Thanks, Victoria. I think I’m going to leave it as it is, without the ‘on’ and mention it in the Author’s Notes.
i think it sounds good to me.
Great news! Congrats, Mark!
I am assuming you will be posting the link when you upload the book. Will that be this evening (12 Am Firday) or later on in the day. When should I spend the time checking your blog?

I know what I’m doing this weekend 🙂
I’ll post an alert here when I submit to the Amazon servers, and a complete new message when I see the links going up (it can be up to 12 hours after submission).
Angel Stakes has been uploaded to the Amazon servers (11:20 GMT). On previous form, it’ll take 6 hours or so for the page to appear on Amazon. I’ll do a new post when I have links.
