And I thought last month was rough. This one went above and beyond on so many levels. There has been so much uncertainty, so many different distractions feeding on my brain, that writing has finally suffered for it.
Writing Update
The Gifts of Kali
JD Book Services, my lovely editor, sent back the draft a couple weeks ago. I’ve been slowly going through it, much more slowly than previous books. Solutions that typically come easy for me have been a struggle, but I’m closing this bad boy out this week so I can move on with my life. Wish me luck!
The Final Gauntlet
My original plan was to have this edited by the end of April. I haven’t even started yet. Gifts took up way too much time. So did another diversion that I mention below. So The Final Gauntlet took the hit this month and will be my ONLY focus next month.
Signs of Portents
Wait, what? This book came out in 2016! What the hell are you trying to pull, Lou?
Well, J.S. Arquin finished recording the AUDIOBOOK version last week! It’s currently in the quality control process at Audible and I should have more info next month.
It was insane listening to the story being read. J.S. did an amazing job bringing Portents to life. I have so many new notes thanks to going through this book.
Greystone Serial
I did get two more sections done for this beast. Two more right after The Final Gauntlet and I will reach the halfway point. This is the biggest Greystone project I’ve taken on so far. When all is said and done I think it will be the perfect representation of the series to share with you. I’ve really enjoyed the myths and monsters of this one, as well as the historical mystery that runs throughout.
Confession time
I screwed up. I always imagined I would, but to finally see it in print was a little rough. In Signs of Portents, Reginald Dunn is listed as the Commissioner of Police. In A Circle of Shadows, he is the MAYOR. Ugh.
It took me days to do it, but Signs if now corrected.
Solving the geographical problems in the books is another matter entirely…
Oh well. I’ll strive for a more consistent cityscape NEXT TIME.
