    I am a slooooow writer

    This final draft is diverging a little from the previous one, so I need to rework some chapters (especially in this middle chunk). Going to break with the weekly posting structure and start putting the chapters up when they're done. The next one still needs a bit more work, so look for it sometime this week or next--sorry for the delays, but the weekly/biweekly schedule is starting to get a bit

    One more week

    Had an extremely busy week and haven't had time to give a final polishing pass to the next chapter, so I'm going to delay it till next sunday. Apologies! We'll resume the biweekly pace next week.

    I'm considering a longer break near the end of act 2 to get all of act 3 polished so I can return to the weekly posting schedule for the final set of chapters.

    As always, thanks for reading!

    New posting schedule

    I liked having the extra time to do final proofreading and minor rewrites so much that I'm going to make it a regular thing. I'll post chapters biweekly from here on out. There are still a couple later chapters that I'm not super pleased with, so I might take a little extra time once we get closer to them to tweak them more.

    Thanks for reading!

    Thanks for reading!

    Thicker Than Water is a go!

    After a lot longer than it really should have taken, I'm finally at a point where I can start publishing Thicker Than Water. I plan to put up about one chapter a week, although we're starting off with two because they're so closely intertwined. There are 27 chapters and an epilogue in total, at a little less than 200k words. I'm still tweaking things here and there so the final wordcount might go

Tootin' along like a lil choo-choo train.

Not as fast as I'd like, but not as slow as I'd feared. Haven't written in about two weeks thanks to holiday travels and the like, but I'm gonna get back on track soon enough.

Also, I'm not sure if I've mentioned before, but this one's going to be solidly M-rated due to a few scenes, one of which just fell in those latest chapters. If you only read E and T--sorry! The final story will be back to T. As this one is half horror story, half family drama, it's got to focus on some more explicit material than the prior romps. Don't worry, there's still plenty of danger, politics, magic, ancient ruins and the other adventurous nonsense that usually shows up in my work.
