I've been receiving feedback from beta-readers on the ROGUE manuscript. Many typos were caught and some scenes need to be rewritten, with other scenes ending up on the cutting room floor. It's great to feel so supported by people generously giving their time to helping me improve the next novel in the Amsterdam Assassin Series.
Research can be fun. I'm currently smoking heaps of herb and listening to Bob Marley, Burning Spear, Steel Pulse, Black Uhuru, Yabby U, Lee 'Scratch' Perry, Yellowman, Peter Tosh, and Aswad, to adequately research the fourth novel in the Amsterdam Assassin Series, Ghosting.Beats watching an autopsy for Reprobate.
