The next draft is done.

I finished the draft of Seven Dead Fish this evening. Sixty-two thousand two hundred and sixteen words. It's the sequel to Five Fingers

As I approached the ending –the climax–I didn't know how it would end. Sounds crazy, eh? You'd think I'd have this thing outlined, but I don't write like that. It was if I were creeping up to a brick wall that I didn't know whether I could get past. Anywho, the characters pulled it off. I think it works well. Tension to the last paragraph. I packaged the closure in the epilogue. Thumbs up!

Creighton Hill Tony...

Tony Latham I'll do that.

Hope things are well. Since December, it's been warm here and now the spring has been warmer yet. I like it but don't think it's a good thing. We'll have to see what the river does this summer.

I'll be curious to read the reviews, but not as worried as I was with Five.

Here's a short clip:

Down by the river, a fox barked. A great horned owl boomed back. Cove listened and waited for more. Nothing spoke. A fox, an owl, and death all under the same moon. What was in play along the river and how was it related to the problem at hand?

Jerry: Thanks a bunch for the vote of confidence. Seven Dead Fish should be polished and in print/ebook sometime this summer.

I'll let you know,

Tony
