DEFACER JULY 2026 UPDATE

DEFACER JULY 2026 UPDATE

JULY UPDATE:

Kicked off the month with a great signing at Trade A Tape Comic Center! There was a wonderful turnout and we sold more books than expected! A big thank you to everyone who showed up and especially the fine folks at Trade A Tape for inviting us and hosting.

The third book is currently with our editor, under contract, with editing scheduled to begin in the coming weeks, by the end of July. The agreed upon completion date is October 19th, but it could reach completion sooner than that. Once our editor has finished, then it's the matter of going through the manuscript one more time and implementing the necessary changes, whatever they may be.

If there's a lot of changes needed, it could take some time. If there's not too many changes necessary, the book could come out quicker than expected. In any case, Defacer III will be published and in your hands in 2027. That's a promise.

There's some crazy stuff that happens in this book and we're eager to hear what our editor has to say (also a bit scared, to tell the truth). You never know what people will think, and it always leaves us feeling a bit nervous. Of course, we can't wait for you all to read it and hear what you think too! Defacer III is gonna be one helluva read, we promise.

The cover art for Defacer III is finished. We'll be teasing it here soon. Before that, it will be on display at our following book signings coming soon (a little incentive to come out and meet us). The artwork is once again from Anton Atanasov, the same cover artist on Defacer 1 & 2, and we couldn't be happier with it. Can't wait for you all to see it!

As for the next book signing events, Barnes & Noble is once again hosting another book signing for us next Saturday on July 25th from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm and again in November for the annual local authors event. We're again promoting Defacer 1 and Defacer 2 while teasing the coming of Defacer 3. Once again, the next book signing event is:

When: Saturday, July 25th - 1:00pm to 3:00pm

Where: Barnes & Noble Booksellers

SouthPointe Pavilions

2910 Pinelake Rd.

Lincoln, NE

We'll have more updates in the coming weeks and months, including the new artwork, new book signing dates, updates from our editor, release dates, and more!

JUNE UPDATE:

The third book is in as good of shape as we can get it! We've finished the next draft and gone through it top to bottom once more with another proof-read. This book is ready for the next phase.

We've reached out to our editor (the same editor who worked with us on book 2) and they have agreed to take on book 3! No formal contract has been signed yet nor has work begun, but we're hoping that will all happen soon. We'll keep you informed as we know more.

In addition to that, we're still scheduled for a book signing event on July 3rd at TRADE A TAPE COMIC CENTER 145 South 9th St. Lincoln NE from 6:00pm to 8:00pm. And we have another signing set for late July too.

MAY UPDATE:

The second draft of book 3 is nearly finished!

We have reread and rewritten the entire manuscript of book 3 ahead of schedule, exceeding our goal! Now we're giving it a final read before sending it off to our editor.

This was the first time that we reread the entire manuscript since the first draft was finished. We're very happy with the story. You guys are in for another great book!

We have already begun the final read. There's a list of additions to make during this read such as little character beats, continuity corrections, and moments of foreshadowing. Aside from that, the lion's share of the work is done! I'm anticipating this final read to go far quicker.

We'll have more updates in the coming weeks and months, including new artwork, new book signing dates, updates from our editor, release dates, and more!

APRIL UPDATE:

While it's been a little quiet here, rest assured that the Blood Work continues. We're keeping our noses to the grindstone, editing the next book! Everyday we're working on it, inching closer to the finish line!

We set a goal last month of getting to page 150 of the 424 page manuscript by April 1st. We managed to hit page 180, exceeding our goal by far! We've managed to edit at least a page every day in April!

As of April 12th, we're currently sitting at page 249, over halfway done with this redraft/edit! We haven't let up and have been pushing ourselves hard. By May 1st we hope to be over page 310, making that our goal.

So far everything looks pretty good and we're happy with the story. Mostly we're fine tuning the writing, the pacing, and refining the character voices and moments.

This book is gonna be good!

Reviews for Defacer II: Bloodlust:

"Best fight sequence I've ever read!"

MARCH UPDATE:

We know it's been a little quiet around here lately, but we're deep into editing mode of the next book! The manuscript was completed a while back, set aside for a while to let it simmer, and now we're digging into it and giving it a hard look.

Halfway through March and we're 70 pages into the 424 page manuscript. We've got a ways to go still, but we're keeping a good pace. We set a modest goal of at least 1 edited page a day and thus far, have exceeded that goal every day ... except for this week

We took some time off this week for Spring Break and went on a much needed vacation to relax a bit. But now we're back and we'll be hard at work for the foreseeable future! Shooting for close to 150 pages or more edited by April 1st! That may be ambitious, but we're gonna try.

DEFACER UPDATE FEBRUARY 2026

 DEFACER UPDATE FEBRUARY 2026

"True love never dies. But either Jeremy or the Blood Queen will."

Happy belated Valentine's Day, everyone!

FEBRUARY UPDATE:

The writing continues apace here at Blood Work. We've hit one of our goals for the year already. We finished the first draft of the biggest, bloodiest, scariest, action-packed novel we've ever written. We can't express how amazing it feels to have that story out of our head and down on paper (or a word document anyway). It feels real now, instead of thoughts floating around in our heads. And we couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Now, this novel won't be seeing publication anytime soon, in fact, it's a few books down the line, but it's one big step forward for the saga we're telling.

It's a cause for celebration!

And with that done, we will be moving onto the next goal for the year: Starting this week, we will begin redrafting the next novel to be published. We have a completed first draft already of this soon to be third book, one that we've sat with for a while. Now we need to clean it up, cut what doesn't work and enhance what does. Once that draft is finished, we'll send it off to our editor!

Fingers crossed that the redrafting and then the editing goes smoothly. The goal is to have the new draft done and the subsequent edits back this year, so we can put together the final draft to be published! This is the year the third book gets whipped into publication shape!

Stick with us and stay tuned for more updates right here!
