Gosh this week sucked for me. However, more work as been done this week than the previous few, so thats good. As you may already know, I've revised the first half of book two already, meaning its about 50% done. Meanwhile, I spent the last few weeks brainstorming, jotting down thoughts, and discussing it with family on how the HECK I can fix the second half. The good news is that I've mainly fixed 40% of the second half in outlines I think. Now I must write up until the climax and figure out what I'm gonna do there. This is good, but I'm still stuck. I've shaved SO many words from editing and theres a possibility it will be shorter than the first book. We will see. I want to add a few extra necessary scenes to pad it out a little bit.
I really like how Blight Eater goes. As an author I'm really proud of this specific book because now that I've established a world and characters, I can spread my wings and write the book I wanted to write when I started.
Author Shoutout
I do want to give a special shoutout to another author! Courtney Sherlock will be publishing her first book, The Aftermath in November. Pre-Orders are open right now for the E-book edition. Seriously, check it out. I've seen the dedication and work she's poured into this and she deserves every bit of attention!
There’s nowhere to hide when the enemy is older than the earth itself.
Pursued by dark beings. Haunted by a world long-gone. She must face impenetrable night and brandish the light that saved her.
Devin Fletcher was used to beating the odds, even when her biggest concern was leaving home and putting herself through college. Then an unnamed organization overthrew the U.S. government and imprisoned Colorado residents in internment camps.
After a year of hopelessness, darkness veiled the sun, and the unseen spiritual realm became visible.
When Devin’s internment camp falls, she escapes and bands together with a group of like-minded Christians. They dodge from place to place near the Rocky Mountains, picking through the remains of their hometowns with only seven hours of sunlight per day before the Black Hours loom and the Shaedim appear, subduing survivors with fear and hopelessness.
Isolation is Devin’s default setting, but nothing that matters—survival, restoring society, beating the darkness—can be done alone. A chance encounter with someone from Devin’s past will change everything. And according to her experience, the worst danger comes from where it’s least expected: a familiar face.
The Aftermath is an atmospheric work of speculative fiction set in a fallen world. Centralized around themes of spiritual warfare, faith over fear, found family, and survival, this character-driven work of fiction is perfect for fans of Ted and Rachelle Dekker, Frank Peretti, and Raena Rood.
