Book Three Is Officially Under Way

Story Behind the Story

I've been taking notes, doing research and pondering since book two launched, and a little before, really. But today I began actually assembling the story for book three. That, for me, constitutes the real beginning of the writing.

You're going to see duels, desperate escape attempts, heartbreak, a little hot sex, and the story of Ilhovin and Macca--which doesn't go quite the way it did in the first draft. Don't worry, the basics are there, but some elements will be radically different. Featured characters include Lord Litta, Rodder Pawl, Connin, Brinnid, and of course Temmin, his retainers and his family. We'll be in Inchar, the Northern Wastes and Sairland. And we'll discover the great secret Allis and Issak used to blackmail Litta in book one.

As soon as I have the first draft finished I'll be putting up the Kickstarter for editing and production. Don't look for it for a while, but look for it!

As does this!

More short sentences! Of three words! With exclamation marks!

Can you tell I'm somewhat excited? Laughing out loud

Cheers,

Sounds like the book will be very good. Carry on. ...Excitedly squeal like a 5 year old? I don't have any idea what you're talking about...

how do you say...

fuckin' sweet?

It's supposed to be a challenge, that's why they call it a shortcut. If it was easy it would just be the way.

A failure to plan on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.

I'm doing better

For a while there it wasn't me eating candy or something, it was too much fruit--and by too much I mean a single nectarine--any starch like a potato or a tamale, carbs in general. Candy was out of the question. I still don't eat a lot of carbs but I can have a piece of fruit now, or honey in my tea, or a glass of wine. I've been eating more probiotics and they seem to be evening out my blood sugar. Kimchi, kombucha, a lightly fermented not-really-alcoholic "wine" we call fizzy. Speaking of which, I made a tutorial under my real name on how to make the latter, and am editing down one on kimchi.
