My first publicly (and a only few days away from release) book will be of landscapes. This one has been near to my heart for some time. It's the one I've hinted at in the past few journals. Given that it will be my first public book (at least in photography), close enough is not good enough. I've worked all manner of technical wizardry to ensure what you get in print is exactly what my camera saw. Oh man, draft two looked sweet. The third draft will be here in a few days. Let's hope she is the perfect princess in terms of publication printers.

The second (to be published) book will be a fine-art nudes book. I have boiled it down to two potential topics: one instructional and one pictorial. Should it be instructional, I will seek some further input from other photographers. A mulitplucity of views goes a long way. In the meantime, I'm waiting to see what happens with this one. The theme is ready but practicalities make perfect.

I have also placed into my scraps (amongst other things), a number of chapters from "Snippets: Tales From A World Weary Soul." These are the makings of my third (to be published) book. Snippets is an amalgamated set of short stories from my Vampire character.

Finally, for those bored enough to read this far, I am about to re-work my first novel: The Curse Of The Elderan. I'm not sure whether to release it free on the net or whether to pubiish it. The obvious answer is.. free to net.. but to be frank, "in print" novels get appreciated by far more readers. Apparently, you get what you pay for.

So, that's me at a glance. Feedback always appreciated.

Love

Duckie.
