Thank you to the two kind people who bought copies of the book yesterday online. It’s people like you who are motivating me every day to write Book 2. I passed the 110,000 word mark this morning which means the first draft is now over 80% complete. I’m excited with the progress these last few weeks and am now ahead of schedule with regards a completion date.
Once I’m finished it, I will take a break from ‘A New Jerusalem’ over the Christmas break return refreshed to focus on completing my linked novella, ‘Bomb Girl.’ Then I will start the editing progress for ANJ. Thank you to those of you who have told me they’ve asked Santa for a copy of ‘Skelly’s Square’ in their Christmas stockings. I hope you have all been good boys and girls this year and get what you asked for.

Congrats and good luck with the writing (and enjoy your break; sounds like you’ve earned it).

I can’t wait – I mean, I know I’m going to have to – but oh boy! I think I may even have a special event slotted for sitting and reading. Hmm? Perhaps even reread Skelly’s Square and then leap into ANJ? This is ounding better and better all the time!
