It’s been a grueling few months of writing that has paid off with a story that I cannot wait to share. The Sword of the Dragon series (book 5) Sword of Tears is finally written. It clocked in at 130,000-words, making it significantly longer than (book 4) The Phantom’s Blade.

The next steps are largely editorial changes. I will now conduct a thorough read of the manuscript, making enhancements and modifications as I go along. Historically for me, this will add a little extra to the final word-count. When I execute the first draft of a novel, I usually leave out many details that need mention. Hair and eye color, other physical characteristics, details of places, settings, etc.

We’re on track to publish this in September.
