Soul Born new edition being reviewed by beta readers

Hi all,


SOUL BORN is currently being read by my trusted beta/test readers. Once I hear their thoughts, I should be ready to start setting it up as a Kindle Book. Thanks for waiting.


And remember, Do not buy copies of Soul Born or Blood Divided from its former publisher. He/they no longer have the rights to sell them. If you see them with copies at a convention or show, take a photo and send it to me.


Thanks!

Soul Born new version - new edit in last stage!

Hi all,


Soul Born has been reviewed by my editor and it is back in my hands. I started work on the final stage of the edit this week. It might take me 2-3 months to finish it, as I am writing a new book, and working with my agent on projects. BUT I will have this final stage done this Summer. I'd say I am 1/10th done so far and I am scheduling time for it.


I am happy with the results. I hope you all will be too.


I will post an update here next month.

SOUL BORN Saga returns to Kevin James Breaux

It's official. The rights to the SOUL BORN Saga have returned to the author, me! :)


That means SOUL BORN, BLOOD DIVIDED and the yet published, FLESH ENDED, will be re-edited and re-published soon.


In fact, Soul Born is being re-edited now. That book has had a long journey. I'm going to post the whole story on my author blog soon. :)  But the version of the book that was published in 2010 was written in 2007-2008. And it was hardly touched (not really edited much at all) by the publisher before it went to print. Why? Who knows. It drove me nuts. Not to mention, in 2013, I learned a great deal about myself and my writing by editing three books... three times. I had a lot of help from several agents and my editor. So I grew 1000%.


Does that mean a whole new Soul Born re-write? No. I don't want to change history or the story. Soul Born is Soul Born. A re-write now would turn it into a new book entirely. Basically, because I have a new focus, a new approach, and have learned so much. So the re-edit will address the POV issues, which were bad, I admit, and some of the other issues that plagued it.


A new "Reborn" version will be released. One that is a much cleaner read. I promise.


BLOOD DIVIDED will follow. Same deal. I will re-edit all the problems out. But the story will remain the same. Maybe some small additions here and there. :) Like a flashback that was before offered as an e-book only.


Expect to see SOUL BORN - The Reborn Edition out by the end of 2014. I will keep you all posted. And...good news...it will have the same cover painting by Dan Dos Santos, just some updated graphic design by me. :)


Thanks all!


Write Makes Might!

SOUL BORN SAGA Rights Return to Kevin James Breaux

Hi all,


BIG NEWS.


The rights to the Soul Born Saga are returning to me in 3/2014. 


That's great news!


I'm already at work re-editing SOUL BORN. It needed it! I think everyone who has read it will be impressed with the new version when it's released later this year. I'm cleaning and polishing it up real good. :)


I will do a re-edit on BLOOD DIVIDED afterwards.


And then... yes... finally... then FLESH ENDED will get another edit pass (doesn't really need it) and it will be released. I expect that to happen in 2015.


Sorry about the delay. Sorry about the silence. Those of you following me on FB probably already knew this. I was letting hints slip for the last few weeks.


And thanks for all the emails lately. Lots of questions. Lots of compliments. You know me, I'm replying to them all.


Thanks all!
