L.B. Graham — author of the series "The Binding Of The Blade"

Well, I finished the rough draft of the novel I've been working on today. I started in the Fall of 2008, put it aside after writing about a hundred pages, then picked it back up this school year.

I estimated it would run about 400 of my pages and 140K words. The file I just sent to my agent is 387 pages, but 140,115 words, so I was a little off in the page count, but the word estimate was pretty close.

This book isn't under contract, so I probably won't have news for a while. If you're a fan, though, and you're hoping to see this book & this new fantasy series in print, feel free to pray that the story finds a home. My agent will read it and advise me on any revisions or other steps to take before we shop it, and then we'll see what we'll see.

If there are developments along the way, I'll let you know.

OK, so 'electronification' is a made-up word. Fair enough. My point, however, remains valid. The Binding of the Blade continues on its journey into the eBook world. Since Beyond the Summerland was made available for Kindle and other eBook readers, about 500 copies have been downloaded from Amazon and my publisher's website, and now Book 2 of the series, Bringer of Storms is also available on Amazon for just 9.99, a considerable savings over the paper version, and Shadow in the Deep should follow soon, perhaps the end of this week or early next week.

So, if you or someone you know picked up Beyond the Summerland for Kindle, then go back and download BOS to see how the series continues. If you haven't picked up the first book yet, then know that BTS will still only run you .99, so what are you waiting for?
