As I was working on the sequel to The Light Whispered, I realized I would need to make a cover for it, and I returned to the cover of my first book for ideas. I found none. In fact I was not inspired by or terribly interested in that cover at all. Having already published it, I shook my head and wondered if it was too late... No. No it was not. That said, I spent the next several days getting ideas, sketching in class, (While still listening!) and throwing things together in PhotoShop. I'm rather pleased with the result. And, because the whole purpose of this expedition was to create a cover for the sequel, here's that too. Let me know what you think in the comments! This cover will be official in the next several days. Once again, those with eBooks can automatically update, those who've already purchased a physical edition of the book can send me a message if they would like a free eBook, and new paperbacks should be ready to roll out soon. -J.

Except for the Paperback edition available through Amazon.com, all updates to The Light Whispered are now live.
Amazon.com should be up and running in 3 days or less, but if you don't want to wait to order a Paperback edition (Or You Just Want a $2 discount!) You can order it through the direct purchase link on my Buy Books page. Click Here to go to the Buy Books page. Thanks for understanding! And once again, if you already purchased an unedited paperback copy of the book, let me know and I will work with you to correct the situation. -J. Christopher Earl Catastrophe -mostly- averted! My apologies to the 7 people who have purchased print editions of The Light Whispered already. It was truly a rookie mistake, but I suppose I am a rookie after all. Still, once again, if you feel any of the grammatical mistakes in the old edition are simply too much, let me know and I will do what I can to make it right. If you have purchased an unedited print copy already, and would appreciate a free eBook, please get in touch with me through the contact form on this website.
The Kindle edition also went through some upgrades, and should now have a functioning table of contents and much better formatting. The map, I realized, was an old copy that contained a few mistakes, and has also been updated slightly. The updated editions should be available within 24 hours, so, check back tomorrow evening if you are still looking to purchase a copy of the book. Amazon.com may take several days to have the updated edition, so please purchase directly from CreateSpace, the site I am publishing from.

As I'm reading through my own copy of The Light Whispered I am finding several small mistakes and minor changes that I feel would make the book a smoother read.
For this reason, I am going to be updating the book relatively soon in order to amend these issues. If you have already purchased a physical copy of the book, you may find some of these issues as well. These are mainly small issues with punctuation and a few minor formatting issues here and there. The story itself and a vast majority of the text is in its final form and is entirely readable. If you have purchased a book already and feel that these mistakes have dampened your reading experience, please contact me through the form on this website and I will do my best to make it right. Who knows, maybe in fifty years the few editions that have already been printed, mistakes and all, will be worth something to some rare-edition book collector out there. -J. Christopher Earl I mean... Self-published! With my current college budget I cannot afford a personal agent who would assist with all the publishing and advertising and what not, so I have had to do a lot of that technical work myself, but at the moment I think this will do for now. The point is, you can now officially read my first book!
If you would like to order a paperback copy, you can do that here! https://www.createspace.com/6542758 If you're looking for a Kindle copy (Only $2.50!) It should be ready to roll out by tonight. I'll post a link as soon as possible. Also, through the Amazon matchBook program, if you buy the paperback, the Kindle edition is only 99 cents! Thanks for the support everyone, and remember, book two will be coming out this time next year! -J. Christopher Earl I am still playing with the titles for these two books, as they were previously one, and I'm not entirely sure where they will land. So far everything is going well with editing and printing. I will be publishing through Amazon Kindle, and, hopefully soon, through the Amazon Marketplace for a paperback copy of the book.
Also, as of now, the pledge page has closed. Thank you to those who did pledge! You will receive your prizes soon. - J. Christopher Earl |
