Sunday Update Time!
- I hit 97k on The Time Cube, book 11 of the Evaran Chronicles. The first half of the meat of act 3 is done, and I'm on the second part now. which will be two more chapters. After that, it's on to the final two wrapup chapters, so four chapters total until the first draft is done!
V gets to go in body mode and I enjoyed writing the chapter from his perspective. He notices things that may seem obscure, but it helps him put things into perspective based on his organic interaction library.
The Tenagrins put to use the knowledge they should not have and as prepared as the group is, sometimes they can't prepare for everything. One thing the Tenagrins are very good at is adapting. They may lose a fight, but the next time they're encountered, they will have evolved their tactics, even against someone as powerful as Evaran.
- I hit 29k on The Transition, The Dalton Files prequel. I'm one scene away from act 3. Brad gets a scene with Evot, and she allows him to join her in an unsecured part of her memory to peruse files. I enjoyed writing that scene as they fly through a virtual file system.
I'll probably end up adding one or two more scenes with Brad earlier in the book to lend some perspective, and most likley one or two Evot scenes.
Dalton so far has illustrated most of his abilities minus the Torvatta Touch, and has fought a variety of enemies to showcase those abiities. However, he will get a taste of what the nonhuman world has in its ranks in act 3.
I've worked on the cover brief some. It will be a split cover. The left half will show his scoutspectre armor and his two servbots in their spider drone mode against a ship background.
The right half will display the other half of him in his official Earth Ward Inspector outfit with Evot in her gray cat and black crow form against a modern Earth backdrop. His eyes will have a slight golden glow and his hand a blue one on the Earth side. I'm still tweaking the font style and layout some, so there's still some work to do.
- Based on the tweaks I've done for Dalton in The Time Cube, and The Transition, I've updated the outline for Book 1 of the Dalton Files. While The Time Cube showcases his Torvatta Touch and the prequel doesn't, book 1 of The Dalton Files will use it.
- I'm planning on putting together the Earthborn box set next weekend. If all goes well, it should be a straightforward process, and I'll most likely send out a newsletter at that time.
The March newsletter will be for the launch of Redemption, book 5 of the Earthborn, and the audiobook for The Portal Effect, book 10 of the Evaran Chronicles.
The April newsletter will hopefully be for the launch of The Transition, The Dalton Files prequel, and possibly The Time Cube, book 11 of the Evaran Chronicles. Busy time!
I know this update was long, and I actualy held back some information! Nonetheless, I hope your weekend went well!
