In case I hadn’t mentioned it before, I have two, possibly three books coming out this year. One is The Hound of Justice, the second entry in my Janet Watson Chronicles. The second is A Jewel Bright Sea, the first in my Mage and Empire series. It’s a good thing for my stress levels that HOUND is done, done, done and through production. The last items for JEWEL just arrived in my inbox: queries from the cover artist and the page proofs, which I need to read and mark up for any mistakes.
Meanwhile, I am writing the second Mage and Empire book as fast as I can. I wrote and tossed at least two versions of the opening chapters, but things are clicking now. Plot, emotional layers, themes of loyalty, and more. I am excited. 🙂
