The Shadowless Book II Update

Hello dear reader!

Joy! Joy! The manuscript for Book II of The Shadowless vampire series was submitted to my editor. If all goes well, I am looking forward to a fall release.

Currently the word count is higher than Shadows Within–about 25% more in fact. I expect that number to come down after final revisions.

No title yet. I have a dozen ideas though.
