This book started out as a young adult sci-fi novel back in late 2009. By 2010, it had morphed into a paranormal new adult romance, and I wrote the majority of it during NaNoWriMo that year.
And then I poked at it and poked at it and poked at it. For over four years.
THE FOREST'S SON wasn't anything like UNDYING. Where with UNDYING, the whole book sort of poured out and the opening scene stayed the same no matter how much of the rest of the book changed, nothing about THE FOREST'S SON, from the title to the opening to the character names, to what Vance even was, has stayed the same.
I thought researching cancer and the legalities of coming back from the dead was complicated, but it was nothing compared to figuring out language issues and deciding on locations and trying to find the differences between paganism in Eastern Europe vs. the U.S.
I wrote it as a serial -- and it will always be a serial in my heart -- but I know there are a lot of people who dislike serials, and want a single, finished book, so come 21 June, that's how you can buy it. In the meantime, you can enter to win a paperback copy on Goodreads
