GHOST IN THE INFERNO rough draft finished!

The rough draft of GHOST IN THE INFERNO is finally done! 108,000 words in 24 1/2 days. I think the final draft will wind up being about 10,000 or 12,000 words longer than GHOST IN THE RAZOR.

If all goes well, GHOST IN THE INFERNO should be out in late April or thereabouts.

I’d also like to thank everyone for their kind comments while I was writing GHOST IN THE INFERNO. It is nice to know that people are looking forward to the book! Back in the Bad Old Days of traditional publishing, I wrote GHOST IN THE FLAMES, GHOST IN THE BLOOD, and CHILD OF THE GHOSTS entirely in a vacuum. No one knew I was writing them, and I don’t think anyone actually read GHOST IN THE FLAMES until two or three years after I had written it. (The first reader’s primary comment was that he thought the book needed more descriptions of birds.)

So this new way is much more pleasant.
