Done with 9 (again) and updating site
Finished my latest edit of Book 9 of The Demonata
on Saturday. I'm much happier with it now -- it's taken four drafts,
but I finally think I've knocked it into shape and found a way to bring
pace and excitement to the slower, exposition-heavy sections. The
problems of the ninth book have been bugging me for most of the last
year, so I'm glad to (hopefully) have finally sorted them out!!
Went
out to my local pubs last night. I don't go out drinking locally very
often -- I'm not a heavy drinker, and usually only drink if I'm at a
football match or a concert. But it's nice to visit the local drinking
establishments every now and then, meet some friends and family, and
savour the atmosphere.
Spent today updating areas of my site, adding reviews and interviews. There haven't been many reviews of Demon Apocalypse
yet (a downside to releasing a book just four months after another is
that most reviewers opt to ignore it -- they don't like reviewing the
same author too often!), but I found several reviews of Blood Beast
which I was able to add. As with the other books in the series, almost
all the reviews have been glowing. I thought, way back when Lord Loss
was getting ready to see the light of day, that critics would
absolutely hate these gory, gruesome, fast-paced, death-filled books.
How wrong I was!!!
