Getting to know a character
For some time now I've been struggling to get my new book up and running. I've completed and published
The Arcrean Conquest
trilogy and now I'm moving on to a whole new set of characters. I feel like I'm surrounded by strangers!
So I've prayed that God would help me to "get to know" these characters - to become familiar with them as I was with the Arcreans.
Today I wrote for a lengthy bit of time, and completed two emotional scenes in the book. I felt as if I was a character in these scenes, feeling their emotions and nearly crying three times! It was an adventure!
I so appreciate the sweet comments and kind words I've received from readers! I'm so glad to hear that many are looking forward to the next book. Please pray for me as I write, that this next work would be pleasing to the Lord!

Update & Sneak Peek!!
Just over 1000 words added to "Book 3" yesterday! Praise the Lord for progress!
Check out this sneak peek from a scene introducing two of my newest characters...
******************************
Meredie held his gaze, trying to cling to one last bit of defiance, but felt a look of remorse slip over her features nonetheless. Her anger over the scene in the practice yard began to melt away, replaced by an uncomfortable sense of mortification.
“They laughed at me.”
Emmet released a breath and looked down at his boots. “Meredie, you interrupted a practice duel by dragging a sword twice your size onto the field and yelling like a woman touched in the head. Then, when you tried to enter the fight, the weight of the weapon made you lose your balance and toppled you flat on your back.”
Meredie crossed her arms, “I was there, Emmet. You don’t have to tell me what happened.”
