    C&C chapter 40 entering prereads tonight + teaser

    Much as I didn’t want to, I made the decision to break it up since the full length of the War Council meeting had exceeded 20,000 words and will probably approach 25k for the now-two chapters before all is said and done. The breakpoint itself will be between learning about the general war situation both Aricia and the Griffon Kingdom face, and then discussing what in all the Crows they’re going

    Midnight Rising/C&C update: April showers may bring May flowers...

    But of more interest is the emergence of 17-year cicadas in my area. Big, ugly, red-eyed insects that are the size of your thumb but basically harmless, as long as you can get past all the shed skins they leave behind on leaves and the everpresent and disconcertly loud background sound they produce as a mating call. Fortunately, the outbreak in my area seems pretty limited. There's a few around,

    Midnight Rising update; Feathered Hearts C&C teaser...

    Hey, folks. Here’s my weekly writing update. I’m tagging this as C&C since that’s what the teaser below is about, but the blog is about both it and Unleash the Magic - Midnight Rising.

    Prereader verdict on new Midnight Rising chapter is in...

    And unfortunately, that verdict is unanimous:

    Complaints were: too meta, hard to follow, does nothing to advance the plot, and potentially makes things worse while trying to fix them.

    Still waiting on Midnight Rising prereads...

    Which are particularly important this time, because the first preread I got back was negative. As it came from AJ_Aficionado, whose opinions I particularly value mostly because he’s more interested in the story than the sex, I tend to give what he said about it credence but still want to hear from everyone else before I start making changes to the new chapter.

Into the Storm: The Flight of Firefly - Update · 3:47pm Aug 11th, 2017

Progress has slowed down of late as I've shifted focus to The Lawyer and The Unicorn. I know I said I was looking at a mid-month release, but I think at this point it would be far more appropriate to launch the next book on September 1st, which is date the war begins in the story... and when WWII began, for that matter. Yes, that's more than a coincidence.

The publish plan remains the same: five chapters plus a bonus or two will be loaded and ready for launch, supported by battle and campaign maps so the war can be followed visually. There will also be an advertising blitz consisting of the Gryphon war declaration and chapter teasers in the self-promotion and war groups. If I can find the time, I'd also like to make service and rank insignias for both sides, but unfortunately, I'm not a good enough artist to manage that quickly or easily. If anyone knows of a good artist willing to help for a nominal fee, please let me know.

As things stand now, the gryphon war declaration is written and first three story chapters are ready to go, with significant parts of two more written. The prologue and first two chapters will be released on day one, followed by a single chapter releases daily after that until I run out. I'm hoping to generate a big enough rush from returning readers and new ones to break into the featured box, so when it comes out, don't be shy about reading and generating some heat, folks!

More updates and teasers will follow as we get closer.

Stop, I can't get any more excited.

Now for unsolicited advice. Don't dump all the chapters at once. One to two if you have a prologue, then daily if you want to keep hitting the update section.

I was wrong. I did get even more excited.
