Kingstone Update
Right now the official typed-in word count for Kingstone is almost 42,000 words. It's a little on the low side for what I'm aiming at, but it's also sans three battle sequences, which will fill it out some more.
I'm aiming to have this draft fleshed out without any holes left by the end of May, which should give me a decent amount of polishing time to have it finished altogether by my tentative release date.
Yes, Kingstone has a tentative release date. It's June 21, which is also the summer solstice according to my calendar. Keystone was released December 21, so I'm going to see if I can release the others on a 21 too. Why not?
Ooo, and Kingstone also has a blurb, or at least a working blurb:
Hardly a moment after setting foot on solid ground, Charlotte “Charlie” Donahue finds herself kidnapped. Again. This time it isn’t by well-meaning but misguided pixies. Charlie manages to get scooped up by elven slavers, who decide that her talent for trouble deserves a real test: in a gladiatorial fight to the death. Last man (or woman) standing gets to live. As attached as she is to her own skin, she doesn’t particularly want to cost someone else theirs.
Meanwhile, the rest of the crew isn’t sitting idly by. Rhys is determined to get Charlie back, no matter the cost, and Princess Maelyn’s accidental fiance may hold just the ticket. Of course, Llyr Silverwings has a few secrets up his sleeve as well, and has more in mind than a simple snag and bag rescue. There’s a faction of rebels harboring elves somewhere in the mountains, and Llyr thinks that Charlie’s rescue is the perfect opportunity to find them.
Meanwhile, Charlie has to decide what to do with her growing feelings for Rhys. Is love really enough to overcome the boundaries between literally two different worlds? Or will it only end in heartbreak?
A broken family, a kingdom divided, ancient magics, and creatures straight out of legend collide in Kingstone.
Kinda cool, huh? Might still be subject to tweaking before it ends up on the back cover though.
