As I write this, I am pleased to say that the final edits on the novel are almost complete. Advanced Reading Copies (ARC's) of the novel have gone out to major reviewers and we are waiting to see what those pre-publication reviews yield for us. Now, you might be asking, why would we be seeking reviews if we are still editing. Well, the text is largely complete, however, there are some minor tweaks that we have agreed to make in order to make the novel the best that it can be.
My publisher and I will, this week, begin working on a more detailed marketing strategy and begin querying books bloggers and media outlets in both North America and here in Australia.

MAY 25th 2015: The Recipient - International Teaser Trailer.
"Fans of Dean's work will not be disappointed. His flowing prose and ability to create engaging characters come through again – but this time they’re coupled with a scary, gripping story" - Michelle Halket, Creative Director, Central Avenue Publishing.
The story follows Casey Schillinge, a young heart transplant recipient who undergoes not only a life-saving operation but upon recovery, a life changing transformation. Three years later, Casey has become a withdrawn shell of her former self: she is estranged from her loved ones, afraid of open spaces and rides the line between legitimate and criminal work as a computer software specialist. The worst of her troubles come in the form of violent night terrors; so frightening that she resorts to extreme measures to keep herself from sleeping. When she can take no more, she embarks on a desperate search for the source of her dreams. In so doing, she makes a shocking discovery surrounding the tragic fate of the donor whose heart now beats inside her chest. As she delves deeper into the mystery of her donor, she realizes her dreams are not a figment of her imagination, but a real life
nightmare.
An exclusive excerpt from the novel is live now at Central Avenue Publishing's official site. The Recipient is scheduled for an October 25th, 2015 global release in print and digital formats.
