Posted just a lil' snippet of my newest WIP

I wrote about the apparent overabundance of Young Adult in fantasy these days - http://tedacross.blogspot.com/2010/04/f ... adult.html

Edit: Guess I'm blogging too often! I did a mock up cover for my book - http://tedacross.blogspot.com/2010/04/c ... shard.html

My latest blog posts are about my quest to develop a Facebook app - a sort of fun horoscope thingy that will (hopefully) encourage people to buy my book.

Who knew promotional work could be such fun!?!
