Update May 9, 2024
Hey!
Just another quick check in.
Editors are booked and we are full steam ahead for book 3, The Fallen Apprentice to launch in early August. Revelations galore and the ending is really going to set a tone for the continuation of the series. I wish I could say more but you’ll just have to read it.
I have a week off my chef job in a week. Its actually ten full days. Quite amazing really because a week off from a chef job is seven days, and, you’re damn sure you’re going back to work on the eighth day. But at my current job, its closed every weekend, so I get ten full days off because of Memorial Day as well. I have a jam packed to-do list but my main goal is to wake up early like I currently do, write on the couch with fresh coffee and a focused brain to crank out the ending to this book.
It’s at 73K words out of 100k, so I’m really gonna try to get it done by the end of this month. It feels like this book is taking me forever, but to have a 400 page book written in 6 months is acceptable I suppose. I really have to take little breaks to figure out scenes sometimes, and let me tell you, some real magic comes when I get to let the epiphanies come. I just had one in the ending to the last chapter I wrote yesterday, and it is a huge reveal that will deepen the mystery of the Demons of Dusk.
Cheers friends,
C.K.
