Tomorrow’s the big day when Terra Insegura officially hits bookstore shelves, and so, with great fanfare, I announce the Great Terra Insegura Book Give-Away Contest, twin to the very successful Marseguro give-away I ran when that book came out–except with one great exception: this time, I’m giving books to two people every week for the next month. Here’s how it …

Galleys of Terra Insegura arrive
The galleys of Terra Insegura showed up today for proofing. That’s always exciting. It means I can now find all the mistakes I should have caught last time around, and worry about all the things I should have maybe changed but are too major to change now. Fun! It’s always interesting to see what text …
Terra Insegura shows up in Publisher’s Weekly
No, not a starred review, more’s the pity, but just a mention in a long list of books coming out this spring. I got a chuckle out of the description, though: Terra Insegura (May, $7.99) by Edward Willett. Thispost-Apocalyptic series tells of an Earth ruled by religious zealots and a distant world that is humankind’s …
No third Marseguro book
Disappointing news from my agent yesterday: DAW has decided it doesn’t want a third book in the Marseguro series, thereby making a liar out of the Science Fiction Book Club, which announced Marseguro as the first book “in a gripping new trilogy“! Fortunately, Terra Insegura does not end with the kind of obvious sequel tag …

(Oh, look, there it …

The pre-ordering link is up at Amazon for Terra Insegura, due out May 5–you know, if you just can’t wait: A print-out of a confirmation of your pre-order from Amazon would make a great Christmas gift! Wouldn’t it?
Thus sayeth the Preacher:
“Of the making of revisions to your latest science fiction novel there is no end, and much editing is a weariness of the flesh.”
