New Book & New Site Are Coming

I’ve been dragging my ass since September, 2011. I’ve had good reasons, but regardless of their nature or validity, I have let my writing endeavors and website languish away into obscurity.

This entropic trend stops today. I’ve secured sufficient funding to restart my publication plans, beginning with a freelance artist to help me move forward with the publication of Heretic. I also have another unrelated book in the works that will be ready later this year. I am researching how to get my material onto the Nook for fans who cater to Barnes & Noble instead of Amazon. I have started writing the third novel in the Heretic’s Quest series.

As far as the websites go, I am switching to a new webhost this month because I am completely disgusted with 1and1.com. I tried to switch last year, but the content migration was beyond my capabilities, and I couldn’t afford to pay someone else to do it.

This time I am tackling it from a different angle. Instead of migrating everything, I am going to build a new version of hereticscribe.com with the new webhost. Then I am going to take all pertinent content from shannonthomas.org and schedule it to post regularly on the new hereticscribe.com. I will be writing brand new content at the same time and expanding the categories to include new things I have never posted before. I won’t have a separate logon required for the site; it will fall back on facebook, twitter, and/or other established services for authentication. I don’t know when I will have the site up to 100%, but I intend to have it functional enough to use within the next two weeks. When it comes live, this site, along with all others I’ve ran in the past, will be permanently retired.

Stay tuned, folks. I don’t know where this roller coaster will stop, but I can promise you that it’s going to be one hell of a ride.
