Now available for Preorder: Silver Circle Part #2

Okay! So I’m through the major tweaking stage for Silver Circle #2: Rising Winds. I’m sending it to proofreaders in about, oh, five minutes, as soon as I write this blog post.

This means I’m highly confident I can hit a reasonable preorder date. I’m defining “reasonable” as November 25th, so this book is now available for preorder. That means the final version needs to be loaded to KDP by the 20th.

This also means the epub needs to go live on my Patreon by November 11th.

That is 12 days away. I’m not only betting I can hit that, I’m actually rather hoping I can drop the epub on Halloween, or maybe on The Day of the Dead. But if that doesn’t happen, fine, it will surely be ready to go by November 11th.

WHEW.

I’ll be doing another proofread myself, by the way, but this time more of a regular proofread and less tweaking hundreds of sentences.

Coming up for Part #3:

Writing at least two missing scenes. Maybe three. One of those might turn out to be a whole chapter. (A short chapter.)

Finishing the epilogue.

Revising a lot of chapters in light of the epiphany I experienced last week.

Deciding, for real, finally, who exactly is present in the climactic scene and making sure they are all there and no one else is there. Both climactic scenes. They’ve both been revised multiple times to put people into those scenes or take them out, and at this point I honestly don’t remember exactly who’s there, but I think this may need to be either revised again or better justified.

Reading Part #3 from the top and doing a general cleanup and trim.

I really hope to have this all basically done by the 31st, but no guarantees. I’m taking off work today to get a good start on it. I would love to drop it on my Patreon the same day #2 drops on Amazon, ie November 25th, but that is optimistic. I think I can probably drop it by early December, and I hope it can go live on Amazon no later than December 15th …

Which would be kind of funny because December 15th is when the whole story actually begins. #1 occurs basically on December 15th of some unnamed year, #2 takes place from December 16th to early December 19th. #3 takes place, I think, almost entirely on December 19th, but probably stretching into December 20th.

Therefore, even though I was really hoping to get all three books out before December, a hope that did not account for how much time when into the Griffin Mage trilogy, December 15th would be aesthetically pleasing.
