Hunting is now definitely bumped to a March release.
Hunting was the fifth book I wrote (after the various Talismans books and Lammersgach, which I have no intention of releasing because LOL). It was the first book I put through a writing workshop, and I had lots of useful feedback and positive comments, and I'd also gone through to tighten the writing several times after its completion, so though there were some things I wanted to clarify with the worldbuilding, I figured four months was plenty to finalise it.
Hoo boy.
The plot's still solid, but two secondary characters and a sub-plot needed to go. And a quarter of what was left needed complete rewriting. [There's some particularly unconvincing dialogue.] So, delays.
I've set the giveaway entry on Goodreads for 7 March. I'll bump it again if I'm not satisfied, but I'm cautiously optimistic.
Not doing it just to torture you guys, promise. My schedule is a victim of my own evolution as a writer. ;)
