Upcoming Titles - Amarna Book II and Rebellion Book II
I am currently plugging away at Amarna Book II right now. It's coming along right nicely if I do say so myself. (wink) I'm about 50% through with the physical writing of it at this time but at this point it's mostly dictation from my brain to my fingers and filling in details.
I pretty much write the majority of a novel in my head before I ever start typing - including dialogue. I tend to have a couple of works floating around up there being written simultaneously at any given point in time. I'll be somewhere and I'll suddenly start typing out a scene, story idea or dialogue on my cell or jotting it down on a napkin or whatever I can get my hands on. It's a formality to cement it in my brain. Even if I lose the note, I generally still remember what I wrote anyway so long as I bother to jot it down.
I actually work pretty quickly....when I can find the time to pull stuff from my brain that is. (grin) That unfortunately does not always tend to work in my favor – having the time. If only I had a patron like in the days of old. (sigh) I'm pretty much always writing in my head though.
Hopefully, I can have that sucker published by August 2014.
I'm also working on Rebellion Book II. Rebellion Book II is already 100% typed out. There are a few things I want to flesh out a bit more and it needs editing but that's it. Honestly, the final book in the Rebellion series - Book III is 80% typed out. If I buckled down I could conceivably get both Rebellion II & III out within a month, however, I'm in the mood to work on Amarna II right now. (laugh)
I can never tell with myself, I might turn around and release all three this summer. (grin)
Good luck to me!
