Goodbye Summer, Bring on the Spooky S...

Here’s hoping you like ‘em thick…

Let’s try to keep your mind out of the gutter shall we? Well…maybe not all the way out, but mostly because I’m not talking about body parts (at the moment). I’m referencing this work in progress who has officially graduated to my third longest book I’ve ever written.

*This is not the artwork for the book, just a placeholder.

Did I mean for this to happen? Of course not. I’d make them all 225 pages if I could pull that off. But Myra and Yael seem to want their debut to be chonky, so here I am, just watching that word count keep going up while I edit and wondering if I’ve finally lost all control over my characters.

If you’ve been around long enough, you know it’s been dicey from the get go on that front!

I think dual POVs do this to me almost every time, and, if you know Yael from Queen Me, you’ll know that he’s a bit of a bullshitter, so I guess that tracks. The Devil and the Deep is currently weighing in at 99,000 words, and I’m pretty sure she’s gonna tip into the 100s here pretty soon. Readers always say the bigger the better and I’m hoping that holds true for this one, too.

Do I know when it’ll be ready for the market yet? Nope. Do I have a cover artist lined up? Absolutely not (but not for lack of trying). Do I know how many books will be in the series or if the Queen Me leading duo will make an appearance or what the series name it yet? No, no, and no. But I hope to have answers to those questions soon… if these two ever let me wrap this thing up so my betas and editor can rip it apart in preparation for publication.

More on all of this shenaniganery soon…
