It’s Been a While

I noticed the other day that I haven’t had a blog post about writing for some time. I figured an update on book 4 was probably in order.

Hellequin Chronicles Book 4: Prison of Hope is currently about 70,000 words in, so I’ve probably got 50k-ish left. It’s got quite a lot of characters from Greek mythology in it, but I don’t want to say too much more for fear of giving it away.

The question I’m getting asked the most is when will it be out?

I don’t know is the honest answer. It’s up to my publisher and it’s something I hope to find out in the not too distant future, so once I’m aware of it, I can let everyone know.

In the meantime, I’m plodding along with it and it’s all coming together very nicely. We’ve got a bunch of new species in book 4 and some very cool new characters I’m looking forward to people enjoying/hating.

I can tell you that the flashback scenes in book 4 are set in 1936, Berlin. Book 3’s flashbacks in the 1970s are going to be the closest to current times that we’re going to see for a while, so I plan on going back further and further now to learn more about Nate and his past.

So, there you go, a short update.

If you’re interested in discussing the books, there’s not a group on Facebook that does just that (In fact I’ve posted the first sentence of the book there). Click the picture below to go join in. Until next time
