Book 3 First Draft Completed

Today I finished the first draft of Book 3, earlier than expected. The characters demanded I keep up with them, so I just rolled along. The book practically wrote itself in ten weeks (excluding early development), thanks to my sabbatical.

What happens next? I'll let the draft marinate a while, followed by months of editing and critique from beta readers over the summer. Then I'll post an excerpt while I'm navigating publishing options for all three books. In the meantime I'm organizing notes for Book 4 and will submit related short stories to magazines for publication.

As always, thanks for following. Though I'm not revealing much yet beyond excerpts, I hope you're enjoying watching a budding writer's journey. I'm having a blast as I hit my stride!
