Progress report and our second book title!

Hey guys, just chiming in with a little update on progress for the second book. We’ve been hard at work over the last couple of months and we’re almost finished the writing part – a couple more thousand words and we’re done. The month of April has proved fairly fruitful and we’ve polished off about 24,000 words at this stage.

This weekend marks the first of our joint editing chances. We’ll be putting away 12-14 hours a day to focus on edits and rewrites. This is how we get away with the fact we’re two different people writing one book. We spend countless hours together making sure we balance out our (slightly) different styles to come up with something we believe is harmonious.

All up this novel looks like being about 25,000 words longer than Swords of Winter, hopefully coming in at around 260 pages. We’ve been thinking up names for the book for some time now and we’re pretty sure it’s going to be called The Blood of Kings. What do you think? Leave us a thought in the comments.

Our release is still planned for the end of the year, but as most of us know, deadlines for novels can be quite tentative. Fingers crossed we make the deadline of Christmas day, 2014!
