Hitting Double Digits
After a flurry of re-releases and a new book in The Savage Horde Series back in 2017, my productivity came to a screeching halt. The kids' school year kept me on the go, especially my son's senior year ending with a litany of awards banquets and the like. Then came graduation, followed by a pair of amazingly long summer vacations, and then moving the boy off to college. Spare time was hard to find, and motivation to write even more lacking. It was looking bleak on the writing front...so I finally forced myself to sit down in November and look over my back catalog of completed but unreleased works. After several weeks of editing, I bring to you Creeper Falls.
It's yet another novel set around a family vacation--this time a quarter mile below the surface in an eerie cave. There are some new elements in this novel, including my first attempt at split point of view. You'll follow along with a pair of teens, Danny and Lacey, as they endure a series of terrifying challenges at the world's worst summer camp.
I'm happy to report that the editing lit a new fire in me. While I can't guarantee I'll keep the newfound motivation, I'm in a much better place when it comes to feeling the urge to write. And here's some added motivation...Creeper Falls is my ninth published book. Nine! Even after the last several years of dedicated writing, I still hardly believe that.
I feel confident Creeper Falls won't be my last this year. I will hit double digits--possibly 11 or 12. I am certain of that much.
