Th'Latest

Okay, so Mary of the Aether is in the editorial process. The publication date is July 2012, so I've got a while to go. I was told not to expect to hear from the editor for 30 to 90 days, as she works on the manuscript. In the meantime, I have been working on the sequel, Mary of the Darkness. I'm about 64,000 words into it. It just took a turn for the epic. I mean, a game-changing turn that transforms this book series from a relatively small story about a small rural town and the mysterious goings-on therein to an epic tale of mighty deeds. But I'll leave it at that.

The chapters thus far:

One - Uninvited Guest
Two - Lucky's
Three - The Worst Person in the World
Four - Soon
Five - Ruining Everything
Six - Ambition
Seven - Darkness Descending
Eight - Lost
Nine - The Shepherd's Tale
Ten - Facing the Music
Eleven - The Offering
Twelve - Friend or Foe
Thirteen - Terrible Things
Fourteen - The Setting Sun
Fifteen - Between Heaven and Hell

I expect there to be somewhere between six and eight more chapters, depending on how the upcoming battle plays out, and how many characters I want to be involved in that. Anyway, I can see a whole series unfolding here into ever-increasing glory! Not sure if I'll sell more than half a dozen copies, but I'm having fun writing it.
