"Recovering Ruthless" by Ed Calkins, Steward of Tara

 So Ed Calkins, Steward of Tara, has sent few telegrams this year.

But that's because he's been hard at work writing his third book in the BryonySeries "Ruthless" trilogy.

The title is called "Recovering Ruthless."

And editing this novel is my next project, once I finish the final copyedits for "House on Top of the Hill" (the third book in the BryonySeries Limbo trilogy). 

I've dabbled a little with the manuscript as Ed has sent chapters. But I will really dig into hard, heavy edits on Wednesday, when I have a leftover vacation day scheduled.

I don't have back cover summary yet for "Recovering Ruthless" - or an updated Table of Contents.

But I do have the book's cover art and chapter heading art, once again lovingly created by Ed's wife, Nancy Calkins (aka Nala).

If all goes well, "Recovering Ruthless" will be available for sale by Calkins Day 2024 (February 13).

And, yes, Ed already has ideas for a fourth book (not part of the Ruthless trilogy), using new and returning BryonySeries characters.

But Ed (according to Ed) is likely not among those characters. But that is OK.

For the entire trilogy has shifted away from Ed's backstory to other stories. Readers, I think, will see the growth in Ed, both as a reader and as a person.

Happy Saturday!
