WIP
This weekend, finished second draft, the major revision, of this monster project I began last fall. Second draft comes out to 414 pages (on the computer), eighty-seven chapters, and a little over 92,000 words, making it at least ten thousand words longer than anything I've ever attempted before. Going to set it aside for a month or so to let it breathe, then begin polishing it up. If everything comes together well, around this time next year may be ready to begin submitting to agents and publishers.
Definitely different than anything I've attempted before, the book is very loosely based on a trio of unuusal criminals active in my hometown during the seventies and eighties. I've taken extreme liberties with both facts and timelines, so I'm not even sure it would count as historical fiction. It's just what it is.
It's also, not entirely unintentional, kind of a love letter to the culture of the 70s.
