Between Books

A general update on the state of the Verusverse:

Right now I’m spending my time finishing up the edits for Alex Verus #6 (which, yes, has a title, but I’ll wait to announce it a little longer).  I’m about 80% of the way through, and should be done in another week or so.  Luckily this book hasn’t needed anything like the rewrite that Hidden did, so I don’t have too much more work to deal with.

Once that’s done, I’m finally going to get going on Alex Verus #7.  I’ve been looking forward to this one for a while – there’s loads of stuff that I’ve been setting up over the course of books #5 and #6.  Both books were pretty hard to write, and with hindsight, a lot of the reason for that was that I was having to lay a whole lot of groundwork.  Now that I’ve finished with that, I can step on the gas a bit and have fun!

I’m starting to get a clearer idea of the overall story arc for the Alex Verus series.  Not to the extent of knowing the exact length, but I know now fairly exactly what’s going to happen in Alex Verus #7 and #8.  Beyond that it gets fuzzier, but I know more or less what the major plotlines and character arcs will be.  Actually, I’m really looking forward to it.

But I can’t get started on that until I finish the edits for #6 . . . so, back to work!
