The first series is ready

The first three books are doing well, with the fourth book available for preorder. It will be published on December 9th. This week's picture is of its cover. This is the first draft, and I am interested in people's thoughts on it. The bad guy is dressed as a knight in armor, but I don't have any knights in the story, so do people find this misleading?

I'm keen to begin working on the audiobook for the first volume and hoped to begin last week. But my daughter is visiting for Thanksgiving with the grandkids. Since they'll be using the spare bedroom, which houses my sound studio (otherwise known as a closet full of clothes), I will put off starting until after Thanksgiving. I must say I'm looking forward to having them all here, as my wife and I haven't prepared a large meal in several years.

I've begun cracking open the books for the second series, which I have dubbed "Arise Defenders." I am treating this work as secondary (fill-in work) to the audiobook. I am not certain if I will begin publishing it in three or six months.

As I write this, I'm listening to Yes' "Roundabout." I pretty much played this album to death when I was at university in England.
