Well! I’ve started getting some very encouraging feedback from my first real-live readers on Book 1, “The Wolf’s Shadow.” I could not possibly be more excited and thrilled at this early response! I’ve sold just over 30 books in my first month, which is way more than I would have hoped. The pressure is on for real now to get cracking on Book 2. I have a few ideas for the title, but will have to wait and see how things shape up before I settle on anything definite. I’ve completed the first 7 chapters now, which takes us up to right around 30,000 words. For comparison, “The Wolf’s Shadow” is just a hair under 150,000 words, so we still have quite a ways to go. Progress has been slow in the last week or two, as I have to balance competing demands from work (ya know… it’s crazy but I would like them to continue keeping me employed), and school, but it’s the end of the quarter now so I get some of my limited free time back.
