Finished!

I finished the third Book of the Raksura on Friday, which was a huge relief for me. This book took much longer to write than the first two, and was just difficult all the way through. It still doesn't have a title, or a publication date. I'll post more about it as I know. But yay, finished!

(If you're new to this LJ, info on the first book (reviews, sample chapters) The Cloud Roads is here and The Serpent Sea is here on my web site.)

Also that night, there was a huge thunderstorm with tornado warnings and a little hail. A restaurant in town was hit by lightning and burned down (fortunately it was empty at the time), a friend's house flooded a little, we had leaks and there was a debris line across our porch where our house nearly flooded, and police and the fire department had to do a water rescue of a woman and two kids trapped in a car. Fun times.

Saturday I slipped in the mud, fell off the curb, and almost did a face-plant on our mailbox. I caught myself just in time, but had condensation from the mailbox on the right lense of my glasses.

I'm braced for what might happen today.
