Dark Fire has been published and is available through my website as well as at Amazon.com. Just search for Dark Fire by Claudia Newcorn to find it.

For those curious about the writing process for this book, it took over 2000 hours to write. The first draft was 654 pages long – the final book is 257; that should give you an idea of the editing efforts! The book was rewritten completely 5 times, and edited 9 times. It took five reams of paper (on both sides) all of which were recycled, as well as three ink cartridges.

As with Crossover, I was deeply involved with the cover design of the book, and it took several months to capture the look and feeling of Pook and Keothach.

I have added a Glossary and Pronunciation of Terms to the book at readers’ requests from Crossover.

A special thanks to my two very picky editors, Nick Pena and Patrick Walsh, who haggled many points with me, asked the right questions, and were determined to make sure the book continues with the same excitement as Crossover. I look forward to hearing what you think!
