Hello all! A quick update on how the book is doing and my plans for the near future.
1. I’m finishing up the final touches to Chapter 3, so that I can post it on the website and share it with you. This will probably be the last of the chapters I post there. Can’t give the whole book away!
2. The Thanksgiving break has given me the opportunity to get some extra writing in. My daughter was sick for a little while, so things were temporarily put on hold, but we’re going again and making progress. I finished one chapter, and am almost done another These are first drafts, so they’ll go through a couple of edits before they’re really ready.
3. There is a possibility (just a little one) that DTA may end up being more than one book. As I’m going along, I’m finding some very significant aspects of the story that I hadn’t planned for. In fact, the book may actually have already doubled in size from original expectations. It depends, but if it continues to grow (and the growth survives editing) we may just have to make DTA a two part story.
4. If it is a two-parter, I’ll still be shooting for a March launch, though we might even be able to get it going earlier. We shall see.
5. Some very exciting news, as I’ve all but finalized DTA’s cover (dependent on whether we’ll be going with one or two books) and produced a book trailer that will be uploaded to YouTube! These were fun and rewarding to make. I’m very much looking forward to sharing them with you.
As always, I’ll keep you updated as things progress.
Thanks a bunch for all your support!
