Updates

So I haven't posted in a bit and I thought I would give you guys some updates on what's going on with book 2.

I have passed the manuscript along to two people other than Garth and Ren (they're kind of in the thick of things with their own books and don't really have time to give mine a read through at the moment); that would be the lovely and brilliant Quiana Kirkland and up-and-coming editor Jenna Huffman. Jenna previously helped edit Ren Cummins' second novel "Reaper's Flight" so I'm looking forward to seeing what she makes of Peret.

I'm hoping to have rewrites out of the way and the book ready for publication by the end of March or early April which would be a year after Akhet's release. I'm hoping to maintain a one-book-a-year pace of publication which should be very do-able.

Once I've finished working on my as-yet untitled Steampunk story, I plan to start plotting out the final book of the Sekhmet's Light trilogy, Shomu, and start finalizing the 5 stories I want to put in the companion book "The Days Upon the Year".

On a personal note, I took a few days of vacation around the new year and have come to the realization that I would really like to be able to give up my day job and write full-time, but until the sales really take off, or I hit a massive lotto jackpot, it's just not going to happen… which kind of makes me a sad panda, but I'll just have to keep trying, I suppose!

Have a great day, everyone!
