This is a preview of Little Miss Muffin, from Volume two. Isn’t she adorable? (evil laugh.)
I’m hip-deep in Volume 8, Asylum Nation, and it refuses to end. 335k words and growing. I’m making the decision to split the book. Asylum Nation will be the first one, followed by Dread Lord. The bad news? The logical transition between them is a cliff-hanger. The good news? I intend to release both of them as close to simultaneously as practical, so that anyone driven to immediately read how it ends can do so, and not wait for months or even years to find out what happened. Time to renumber the books!
A house was purchased, and we get to do the moving/remodeling and all of that. On top of working and keeping larval humans fed and emotionally satisfied, the remote job is working out nicely… except for giving me time to write.
And now that I am at a chapter breakpoint with the WIP, it is time to revisit earlier books with another wave of revisions. There are always plotlines to tighten and refinements to make. Perhaps my own story will be called “Eternally Revising.”
