So Much Story ...
... Not enough space.
BOOK TWO of Ewan's adventures is going along smoothly. A downpour. A flood of words. So many in fact that I'm wondering how I'm going to fit them all into the one book. There are new characters, storylines within which they intercede with the storylines already running through the tale, new locations and what happens within them and Creatures - oh how there are Creatures!
BOOK TWO is intended to be shorter than Ewan Pendle and the White Wraith, which is nearly 500 pages long for the sheer reason that it had to be. There was so much to be told and shown in the beginning. But now you all have a good idea about what the world looks like, and how it works, more time (and page space) can be dedicated to charging headlong into the story.
And of course Ewan is now no longer a newbie at Firedrake, and with this comes changes and growing of vines from his own personality. Add into the mix over a dozen new characters, some hairy out of school adventures and a MASSIVE secret revealed, one which will have earthquake inducing ramifications later on in the series and, well, it's a lot to pack into one book ... But restassured reader and writing friend alike - I will get there. S.H.
