Ack! My WIP novel is not where I’d like it to be. These last few days the promo machine for THE STRANGER INSIDE has ginned up, and I’m writing blogs, doing interviews, etc. It’s great fun, but I need to keep touching the book every day so that when this whirlwind calms it will be smooth sailing on the sea of words. (Couldn’t resist lol) Thanks for the reminder!
Book launches take a huge amount of time. It’s amazing you’re even glancing at the WIP every day, Laura. I know it’s a couple days away, but happy book birthday!!!
Too well, apparently. I was so focused on my WIP that I forgot it was February 1st and my turn for Reader Friday!
Sorry for the inconvenience, folks. #WriterFail
Hah! No worries, Sue! February really snuck up on me, as well!
Now that my part-time job as ended, i’m back on track. I’ve started a new WIP titled “Found Murdered”. It features Vivian Lane, disbarred lawyer and now an investigator for the King County Prosecutor’s office. A murderer who.bought a not guilty verdict is free. He’s after her and she is after him. Real cat and mouse stuff with both being the cat and the mouse. She doesn’t drink too much, but in the past she did murder a suspect and got away with it. Lots of other parallels between the two to be to be developed and will be the theme.
Sounds exciting, Brian!

Produced by RTÉ for Glan Iasc a Bhrúigh Go Tapa Le Ceann a Mhéara (aka NETFLIX, or literally “Fishnet That Pushes Away Quickly With One’s Fingers), the studio says the show will be aired on the second Tuesday after Winter Solstice at the prime 3 AM time slot, perfectly in time for that early morning crowd just as they enter their deepest dream sleep.
Enjoy!
That’s awesome, Berthold! Best of luck with the show.
My WIP, For Love of a Father is at 96,000 words. Mid-Jan 2018 it was at 55,000 words. A lot of revision went on in the past year.
The novel tells of nineteen-year-old Lisa Schwarz, orphan and recently widowed, who is searching for her father, one Pietr Fendl, whose name and existence were unknown until recently. Meanwhile the police suspect that Fendl murdered Lisa’s mother fourteen years earlier. Will she gain a father or will he turn out to be the killer?
Ooh, intriguing question, Eric!
As Sue already knows, I’m involved in a tense personal challenge to write a certain number of novels in a certain time. Without going into details, I finished the second novel of the challenge today (3 days early = 3 days in the bank) and hope to start the next one tomorrow.
(Sue, this is why I haven’t gotten that thing to you that we talked about yet. But soon. Very soon. Possibly when you told me I have two week to recount that memory, you gave me too long. :-))
Haha! Take all the time you need, Harvey. And congratulations on completing the second novel!!! You’re amazing, my friend.
Doing the final listen of the WIP. Can’t do 2 books at once, so the new one is on hold until this one’s done.
Audio? How fun!
I’m 20k into a second draft. I’m finding it easier than the first draft because I know the characters inside and out now.
That’s awesome, Priscilla. I agree. The second draft is much easier than the first. 🙂
