Four Days Until A Queen's Command Launches!

That's right, folks! A Queen's Command, Book 2 in the Legend of Tal series, is almost here!

That means this is your last chance to grab that 20% discount if you preorder it now ($3.99 rather than its normal price of $4.99). So unless you read in Kindle Unlimited, this is your best offer for the eBook!

On Writing...

As exciting as the upcoming launch is, the writing always continues in the background.

"Secret Project 2," as I introduced last week, is proceeding quite quickly. I'm likely over the halfway point now, helped in part by a whopping 9000-word day on Friday!

By the way, in case you're curious why I keep referring to this latest book as a "secret project," here's my reasoning:

The primary reason is so I don't end up confusing you with the plethora of different names I inevitably attach to books as they develop. Even now, before I've done a title brainstorm, I have four or five possibilities floating around right now.

You can see this issue play out with Frozen Throne, the book I'll be serializing soon, which has undergone several titles changes throughout its existence on the web - though, thankfully, I've finally settled on the title and series name!

The other (related) reason I am coy with projects is I don't always know what it will end up being when I begin writing. I'm what you'd call a "pantser," meaning I write "by the seat of my pants." I generally have some idea where the story will end up, but writing works best for me when I don't try to impose a plot on it beforehand. So again, to avoid confusion in the first book and the first draft especially, I'm vague about the details.

With how rapidly this book is coming out, I'm hoping it won't be too long before I'm able to say more concrete details about it!

Personal Update

It was another on-call weekend for Kaitlyn (my fiancée), and though we're close to getting a second car, we haven't quite committed to it. So it was another weekend at home for this author!

Fortunately, I have the best of writing buds. Here's Ben keeping me company (or rather, distracting me) while I tap out some words. For context, he's nestled right in front of my keyboard!
