SEQUEL TO TRUTHSEEKER STARTED.

I outlined the sequel to Truthseeker several years ago, but have never gotten round to writing it until now.

Earlier this week, I was busy working through edits on other projects when I suddenly developed an urge to begin writing again. In the space of a few hours, I'd knocked out the first chapter and began writing the second. With 3000 words written, I've now completed 5% of my target word count.

The last time I developed an urge to start a new project, I completed the first draft in under two weeks. With my other commitments at the moment, I'm not sure I'll be able to match that with Truthseeker Book 2.

On the the 1st of July I received an email saying that Cindy was behind on her reading and asking if the manuscript was still available. I said it was, and the next day Cindy emailed and thanked me for my patience as she con...

However I knew something was lacking and was so close to my own work I couldn't see what it was.Over the past few days I have read the editorial report in conjunction with the annotated MS my editor returned to me. I can see that I missed quite a few opportunities for some really tense drama. Now the blinkers are off and I am raring to go again.
