I started writing The Obsidian Palace this past week, and it’s got ~6,000 words. Not a ton, but I was trying to start slow and build up to things. I’m looking forward to getting moving on it, and am also nervous about things that’re going to happen in it. One thing I’m also concerned about is […]
So, the second pass on Queen of Ice is complete! I’ve sent it off to the editor, but they won’t be able to get to it for some time. I expect to get it back easily in time for the November 12th release date. With that in mind, either this week or the next I’ll be […]
