Signing off on the Sign
So, I went into obsessive author mode
once again and churned out the third book/novel of the Donzalo’s
Destiny saga, to be titled THE SIGN OF THE ARROW. Editing and
rewrites to come but it’s pretty close to finished form.
Expect it to be published sometime
later this year.
It came out just about the same length
as the first two books, around 48,000 words this time, divided into
three more-or-less novella-length ‘Tales.’ I’m happy enough
with it, both the parts that follow my original ideas and those that
were the result of inspiration as I went along. I did find a nice way
to wrap this one up with the death of a fairly major character,
originally scheduled to be offed near the end of the last book. This
works better, I think, as well as clearing space, so to speak, for
the action at the conclusion.
When will I hit the fourth and,
possibly, last book? Hard to say — I’m recognizing that I
probably won’t write anything else important until I get all of
this story out of me, so I’d better get onto it! Don’t have a
title yet.
Now, on to design, rewrites, etc, etc
An author’s work is never done!
