I know it’s been a long time, but the wait is
almost over.
At 210,000 words, the rough draft of Horn Lake
is finished and the editing process is well underway. I am shooting for an
early September release.
This is far and away the most difficult
project I’ve ever undertaken… not only due to its size, or the complication of
the growing paralysis in my hands, but the challenge of presenting a big story
with a complex series of character arcs in a way that doesn’t lose the reader. There
were times I despaired of being able to do it. Yet finally here we are, and the
feedback from my proofreaders has been positive, so I’m hopeful I’ve pulled it
off.
After writing of zombies, giant spiders, and
monster-infested suburban neighborhoods, Horn Lake is my stab at a haunted
house novel… although there is a little more to it than that. Now to get it
through the polishing stages so it can be the best version of itself possible.
I thank all of you for waiting.
I'm really looking forward to this.
