Finished my current edit of Book 6 of "The Demonata". A very dark book, just like #5. I think these two form the real heart of the series, and I expect them to have a big impact on fans when they come out, much the same way that I expected books 6 and 9 of "The Saga of Darren Shan" to go down particularly well.

I had to do a bit more work than usual on this edit. I wrote the first draft of book 7 last month, and needed to make some changes in book 6 to tie in with new ideas I came up with while working on the seventh book!! That's pretty much the same way that I worked on "The Saga" -- because I'm constantly bouncing back and forth from later to earlier books, I can take ideas from the later entries and include scenes or make changes in the earlier books, to link everything together. Out of chaos, order gradually grows, and by the time the books see print, it looks like I planned out every last detail far in advance!!!!!!!
