Site Under Construction
The site is getting a new look! A few months ago (sadly, only about two blogs ago), I posted that I would really like to move kevinmturner.com from a blog to an actual website. Well, my wish has been granted. From time to time, kevinmturner.com will not be available due to website construction in preparation for the new website. Check back for updates.

Update
I need to consider a website since the point of a blog is an active writing engagement, and as you may have noticed, I am not active. But until then, here are a few updates since my last post:
The Sphere is not coming along nearly as quickly as The Magi did, but then again, I'm not sure anything by me will ever be written that quickly. The good news is that it is coming along, just slowly.
I'm probably about a quarter of the way finished with where I believe the story to be at this point. I'm a little unique in that I write from beginning to end instead of writing a scene here and a scene there and piecing it together, so sometimes the story expands or shrinks as I write. I still hope to have it completed by late summer.
The other reason The Sphere is taking a bit longer is that I've put a little bit of time into another story (much shorter and less time-consuming). I wanted to take a little time to write something completely different than The Magi in order to explore different voices. It's different in almost every area except that it's also written for young adults. It's a contemporary story written in the first person, which I find is much easier to write than the third. I have no time frame on completion, and I've found that it's actually making me miss writing The Magi Series more than I thought, so it may never get finished.
The Magi has actually been doing much better at this point than I anticipated. It is still in the top 20 on Amazon's Top Rated for Action Adventure, peaking at one point at #4. I haven't been pushing for more reviews since I've been a tad busy, but it's still been doing quite well. In fact, sales have been more steady than I would have thought six months after I released The Magi, especially for a self-published title.
The agent hunt so far has been unsuccessful, but I have to admit, I haven't exactly been putting all my efforts into it. I still am hoping for the traditional publishing route, so at some point I will need to restart the hunt, but for now, I'm just enjoying writing.
I hope that's enough to update you all on my status. Until next time...

Busy Writing The Sphere
As you may have noticed, I have not posted in a while. There's a reason. I took a little vacation from the blog for the holidays, and have since been hard a work writing The Sphere, the second book in The Magi Series. It took a little longer than expected to get fully into the swing of writing again, but I have since found my groove and the writing is coming along nicely. I'm still a little behind my pacing goal to get the book out by late summer, but I hope to play catch-up soon.
I hope that answers the question why I've been absent lately. Keep checking back for some quick hitters and writing progress of The Sphere.

The Magi in Paperback is Here!
Well, that didn't take long!
Amazon has now listed The Magi as a paperback option. I'm still working on merging the two versions (Kindle and Paperback) onto one customer page, but if you would like to purchase The Magi for paperback, you can click here.
Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!
The Magi will soon be available in print through Amazon. I will certainly make an announcement when it becomes available, but for the time being, just know that it's coming. It takes a few days to go through processing to be available at the amazon store, so it should be any day now.
In any case, if you wanted to read The Magi but didn't have an e-reader (or didn't want to read it off your computer), then your print option will soon be available. Just keep checking Amazon!
Merry Christmas Everyone!
