Whirlwind is done.

Wow.


I'm not ashamed to say that I had tears in my eyes as I typed the final pages, paragraphs, sentences and word of Whirlwind. It is done. A project that I started over seven years ago is finished at last. As so many of you already know, it wasn't supposed to end this way. Where are our Children started out as a single novel. The first draft of which ended at 144,00 words.


I walked away from it for a while. It sat on my Kindle for 6 years. I found the courage to dig it up and start a second draft that ended up in what many of you will have in your hands likely by day's end. It's not perfect. It's not nearly perfect, but it is who I am as a writer and storyteller today. Right Now. I want to improve in both avenues. I will improve. But this was a huge stepping stone for productivity and confidence that I was able to overcome.


I'm so glad for all of you who've lived this journey with me. There were points along the way, especially after Past Prologue and then again after Zero Hour that I didn't believe that I would finish this.  


But after a final copyedit and formatting I will be uploading the final chapter of this last episode as time permits.


We did it, My Readers,


We DID it.

Delays...delays

I had a loooooooooong day yesterday and 4 the first time all week failed 2 write anything. 

And then catching up on LIFE made it a perfect 2 for 2 today.

Tomorrow is already looking tricky. It may take a small miracle 2 get the final chapter, the entire piece edited and formatted by 2morrow night but i guess we will see.

A Crisis of Angels

I'm tired.
It has been a long week of work, but I've hit the writing gig every night and I'm now one chapter away from finishing  this work.
It feels good.
It feels real good.
So tomorrow is another long day of work.
And tomorrow night I'll be back at this work one last time.


Well, until then...

Twin Killings

I wish.
I did get another chapter done today.
Whirlwind is rolling along.
Two more chapters to go before the finale is done.
I'm on to the next to last chapter tomorrow.
Until then...

The Drawing of the Three

Only three more chapters to go before Whirlwind is finished.  Only three more chapter before Where are our Children is finished. I got another chapter done tonight and I feel that it went well. This wasn't an easy plot to finish up but I think I've tied the knots back together while unraveling them so much over these 9 books.


I guess you guys will ultimately be the judges of if I've done it well or not.


Like I said: Three more to go and then it's keep on keeping on to the next project, the next chapter in my life.


Stay tuned.

A Not So Day of Rest

I have a 5 day work stretch coming which means long days and a ton of stress but I'll get through it. I'm enjoying my last day off but looking forward getting another chapter done today. After it's done I will be halfway through this last episode.


I did finish that critical chapter yesterday though I have a round of polishing to do before it is published. I'm looking forward to it.
