IT'S READY!
Today I got word that book 2 of The Master of the Tane, Night Calls the Raven, is finally ready for purchase. Thanks to all for your support and patience. I know it has been a long haul. Thanks for sticking it out with me and constantly badgering me about when book 2 would be done. Hopefully it won't be as grueling waiting for book 3. I have already started chapter 1 and, should work cooperate, will do my best to have it done by this same time next year. Check back often at my web page at www.thomasrath.com for updates and info. I will post the first 4 chapters of book 3, A Quick Sun Rises when they're written.
Thanks again for all the support and I hope you enjoy book 2!

Any Day Now!
I sent back the final proofs yesterday and received confirmation today that my book is in the final stages of publication. Watch my webpage at Night Calls the Raven and look for the mouseover on the tree that says Now Available!. When you see it, click on the Buy It button and then select the iUniverse link. If you don't want to buy it directly from the publisher then you'll have to wait an extra 4-6 weeks until it is available online from other venders.

Oh, and by the way, I have started chapter one of book three-A Quick Sun Rises. When you finish Night Calls the Raven be sure to check back for updates on book 3!

Almost ready for printing!
I just got the cover art and proofs from the publisher yesterday for book 2. All I have to do it is read over it for any mistakes, which hopefull there are none, and then approve it for printing. Once I do that it should not be very long before it's ready for press and sale. Then it's onto concentrating full time (well, as much as I can spare) on book 3. Oh, and, of course, getting that darn literary agent so that my dream of doing this for a living might come to fruition. Anyone know any good agents out there?

Books 2 & 3
Night Calls the Raven has been with the publisher for just over a week. No idea as to when it will be finished but I'll keep you posted.

A Quick Sun Rises: I have been working on the web page for book 3 and have the first chapter outlined but have yet to actually start writing. It is always difficut to start a new book, even though the story is running through my head and the chapter is outlined. Work has been fairly slow lately so I don't have much of an excuse other than that I have been a little under the weather for the past couple of weeks which doesn't lend itself to creative thinking.

As always, thanks for the interest and support. Maybe one of these days I'll work on getting something sent to some agents so that maybe I can get this out to a larger public.

Night Calls the Raven
Just to let everyone know, Book 2 of The Master of the Tane, Night Calls the Raven, is now being edited by my friend Kristen. As soon as she is done I'll be sending it out to be put into book form. I hope to have it in print no later than the end of summer. Thanks for the interest and support. As a side note, I also hope to get started soon on book 3, A Quick Sun Rises. If you're reading this then you've already found the webpage for it. More to come with that as things move along.
