This week, posts will be tighter. With the upcoming holiday, I have to squeeze five days worth of work into four - and Fridays already mean two-days worth of work. Wish me luck!
Despite working most of Saturday (covered an event, spent half a day in the office), I did make a fair amount of progress this weekend on the third chapter in Before the Blood. I've spent the last couple weekends on it and really had hoped to complete it. However, I still have two major scenes that need work and some others to edit, so it's going to be another long day before I'm ready to move onto chapter four. Then I did a quick peek at the word count, nearly six thousand. Well, that explains it!
Chapter three also introduces two new characters, and I spent a fair amount of time developing them, too. Plus, this chapter has two underlying themes that took plenty of crafting: friendship and heroism, both from one unlikely source.
Sneak (unrelated) peek: I have an idea for a second, unrelated, stand-alone, non-vampire (but still supernatural) novel. Right now, it's in the idea stage, but I do have a co-writer for this one, a
a completely new - and exciting - experience for me. I'll post more details once we formally begin. And , no, that will not detract from writing this book. If anything, it will keep the muse fires stoked!
Already running late, and it's raining. Hoping, hoping for that walk!

So far, no Staked! cover rejection from Createspace. Here's
hoping we have a book soon...maybe
even by my birthday...wouldn't that be a fantastic present?
