Baby Steps

First mockup of the cover. It’s in the ballpark of what I’m going for, but likely not the final. As for the text itself, I’ve had less correcting/expanding to do than I’d thought. A subplot I believed needed resolution was already addressed in the rough draft. Sometimes my subconscious is smarter than I am.

Who am I kidding? It always is. On the final stretch now.

Addendum: I’ve finished the rewrite and turned the mss over to First Reader. We shall see.

Addendum the Second: She liked it… and that was not a given. Once I work through her notes, which should only take a few days, the book will be ready for production.

Well, That’s Done

Actually, Marta came first in a short story called “Treedle.” But the Long Look was the first in the Laws of Power series. I just didn’t know it was at the time. But, unless I have some sort of divine revelation, I’ve just wrapped up both their stories. The Final Chapter and Epilogue of The Seventh Law of Power are done. In rough first draft. I still have to do the rewrite. But I usually rewrite as I go, so I don’t expect it to take that long.

I’ll post when I have a publication date. I have no excuse for taking so long to get the darn thing done.

A Memory of Old Songs

One thing I like to do now and then is take a flash story, generate illustrations, and put it on YouTube with my own narration. Something separate from the folklore. This piece is called “A Memory of Old Songs.” I think I’ll put them in a separate playlist and just call it “Story Time.”

The Seventh Law of Power is nearly 81k in rough draft now. I think it’s going to end in a…no, on second thought I don’t think I’ll commit to that just yet. But I do see it coming back full circle to Book1, The Long Look. How we get there is the fun part.

Monstrous Assistance

This is more overflow from the Yamada Monogatari series. Tons of research, only a fraction of which I used in the series. So not to waste it, here’s another YouTube Video. There will likely be more, so sign up over there if you don’t want to miss any.

And for those curious about the final book in the Laws of Power series, it’s actually coming down to the wire. Marta is very close to finding the Seventh Law. She’s going to feel very silly when she realizes just how close she’s been and for how long.
