Update on Book 2

August 25th, 2013

Hey folks,

Just wanted to fill you in on my latest progress. After a couple months of chasing my creative tail, this weekend has been monstrously productive. The outline for book 2 of the Black Earth series is just under 13k words, and I feel like I’m getting a good handle on the story.

Some stories just occur to me like mana from heaven, but others have to wrestled and beaten into submission. It actually reminds me of when I was outlining Shadow’s Lure. And maybe that’s good news, because I think Lure marks a place in time when I made a big leap forward in my writing.

Anywho, thanks for listening.

–Jon

Series Update

July 24th, 2013

Hey folks,

As many of you may know, I was working on the outline for Book 2 of the new series (The Book of the Black Earth) last January-Feb. Well, I got the chance to go back and iron out some things in the first book, so that’s what I’ve been doing since then.

The good news is that book one should be (I hope) a better novel because of this polishing (which included adding a new scene). The bad news is that it set back work on book 2 by a few months.

But never fear. I’m now getting back to the sequel outline. Of course, it’s difficult to pick up where I left off, but I’m slowly making progress. I’m very excited to share these new books with you all — I can’t WAIT for March ’14 to arrive.

Thanks for listening.

Oh! And I’ve seen the artwork for Book 1. I can’t share it yet, but let me tell you, it’s fantastic.

Continuing Revisions for B&I

June 29th, 2013

I’m wrapping up the revisions for Blood and Iron. I have a few more things to address, and then a final polish. Then, it’s time to move onto the next book.

If I was immortal, I could see myself working on each book for a decade or more. There’s just something about examining every situation, striving for the perfect emotion, the perfect image, the perfect string of words. Good news for you readers– I’m not going to live forever and I intend to use my time here creating as many good stories as I can manage.
