Your Crown Of Kylthena update

It’s good news…and bad.

The good is that the final draft is almost done. I need to expand one or two scenes, and then nitpick the draft from first page to last, but when that’s finished the book will almost be good to go.

The bad is that Willow’s tendinitis is taking longer than expected to heal, and work on her thesis is taking up a lot of her time anyway. At this point, I’m going to have to assume she won’t be able to complete the cover until September, which means that the book won’t be out until this fall.

I hope you’ll forgive me for this delay. Sometimes, life does get in the way. All I can do is make The Crown Of Kylthena the best book I can, take the extra time to improve it and make it worth the wait…and I will.

Thanks for your patience, your understanding and your support.

the spotlight’s hitting something that’s been known to blog the weather

Happy Sunday! Hope all of you are keeping cool where it’s hot, warn where it’s cold and dry where it’s rainy. It’s been hot here, and my apartment is quite muggy; I’m tempted to call it “Dagobah,” as it feels like I’m walking in a swamp every time I head to the kitchen… More after the cut. Continue reading

We have first draft sign!

The first draft of the sixth Monkey Queen book, The Crown Of Kylthena, is finally done!

Don’t get too excited yet. There’s still at least one round of editing and revising to come, and we need to wait for Willow to recover from her wrist tendinitis before she can finish the cover. It’ll still be a while before The Crown Of Kylthena is published.

But if you want to get a bit excited, be my guest. I am!

Especially since I’m getting some great ideas going for the seventh book…

for I’ve never blogged in a cage

We’ll start this Sunday catchup with something you may have missed, since it was posted originally on New Year’s Day: The first information on the sixth Monkey Queen book, The Crown Of Kylthena!

The Crown of Kylthena is a relic from the Lost Lands that is supposed to bring great power to its wearer. Michiko Koyama, the hero known as the Monkey Queen, is sent along with her girlfriend and partner in adventure Beth McGill and their new companion Abby Main-Drake to retrieve the crown, only to find that it’s been stolen. They’ll have to hop from world to world and team up with the enigmatic wizard and thief Alasdair Sterling to get it back…but can he be trusted?

And even if Michiko succeeds, betrayal is in the cards back on Earth, as a new hero is brought in to take the Monkey Queen’s place. The stakes are higher than Michiko knows, and if she loses the struggle…she’ll lose everything.

Even Beth.
