Progress Report, March 30

This week I haven’t been working on what I should have – according to my plan anyway.

I worked a little on the cover for The Grey Heir a little and am writing the character descriptions for my artist.

I also wrote about 2,500 words in a new novella called, “A Study in Cutlets.” For any Sherlock Holmes fans out there, the reference to “A Study in Scarlet,” should be fairly obvious.

In my version, however, Watson is an English Mastiff, Sherlock is a female cheetah named “Sherry,” and it all takes place at the Milwaukee Zoo! I’d been struggling with writing The Exile (I just wasn’t enjoying myself), so I decided to take a break and write something short and fun. If anyone is interested in being a beta reader for this when it’s done let me know!
