I’ve only got about six chapters left to read in the last short story of Eyes in All Shadows and then I am done rereading and taking very detailed character notes. This is a necessary task that needs to be done before I continue on Book III. Mainly, so that I don’t fuck up continuity or forget minor details because my brain is sometimes shit.
Anyway, I’ve been dying to get this done, so that I can get back to writing because I have so much more I want to do other than just the third book in the saga (fourth, overall).
I have more anthologies I want to do, as well as two “side quest” books. One featuring Fenrik and another one featuring Erzulyn. Both books would send these characters to two very different places on their own quest, separate from the other characters that are normally in their orbit. Erzulyn, however, would have the Black Iron with her.
Beyond that, I have another neat project I want to do that is tied to the Barbarians of the Storm universe but something that is in a different format than what readers have been accustomed to, thus far.
That’s it for now. I hope to be cranking on Book III again by week’s end.
