Editing My Fantasy Novel
"Cart The Soulless awoke in darkness." So my first fantasy novel begins. I've had ideas for a fantasy series kicking around in my brain for years. I grew up reading and watching fantasy, horror, and science fiction. The idea of a badass warrior resurrected by a god kept coming to me. Thus, Cart the Soulless was born. The first draft for Risen In Flame is done, and I'm about halfway through edits.

The End Is In Sight For this Draft
I'm at the 63,000-word mark for Risen In Flame, my first fantasy novel and also the first in either a trilogy or duology. Haven't decided if it will be two or three books yet. Sometimes the story dictates how long it will be. When I was writing The Project Artemis series, I thought I'd be done with three books, but there was one more story to tell.

Updates And Progress on The Latest Novel
I crossed the fifty-thousand word mark on Risen In Flame, book one in my new fantasy series. I haven't decided if this will be a duology or a trilogy yet. Sometimes it depends how much story wants remains and needs to be told. When I was writing the Project Artemis series, I initially planned three books, however, the Artemis kids (although now young adults by book three) still had more to do.

Happy 50th. One of my all time favorites. Scared the hell out of me. When I used to teach a novel writing course, I used Jaws to teach suspense and dramatic structure. Pretty much a perfect film.
