The Monad Trap Finished

Finished the rough draft of The Monad Trap last night. This one was tough - it took me nearly eight months for reasons that will become clear to those who read it. Getting past the climactic scene was tough - I'd say it felt like giving birth, except I've never done that. I'll need a few days to go over it, as Petra hijacked the plot at the last possible moment (This makes three times for her in two books), then I'll get it to the beta readers for feedback. Time to start looking for a cover artist as well.
