Book II Update and What I'm Reading Now

If all goes well, I'll be setting a release date for The Klass - Doyens, book two of The Klass series very soon. I was hoping to get it out before Labor Day, and I still will if I can without compromising the final product.

I'm excited about the second book. It continues the story begun in The Klass - Tyros and takes us deeper into the conspiracy with new characters to stir things up!

In my few spare moments, I'm currently reading two books that couldn't be more different! What Hath God Wrought is a rather dry and objective history of the United states in the first half of the 19th Century. It's detailed, in depth and very well written. I'm learning a lot about the genesis of one of the great divisions in American society. That division could be described in many ways, and I hesitate to try. But I'll leave it as central federal control vs. state's rights. (This is far from a truly adequate description, but suffices for a simple blog.)

I've also started reading The Sisters Brothers by Patrick DeWitt. I'm not too far in, but its kind of a nutty but intellectually fun novel based in the old west. I'm looking forward to more.

I love to write. And I love to read. What would I give to have more time for both?
