It just keeps getting longer and longer ...

Well, this is interesting.

I was determined that during my holiday this year I would make some really good progress on my story, A Far Sun. Well, I did. I worked through the blocker I'd been facing, got some really good inspiration, and shot right through to ...

The end of book 2. Book 3, and the exciting conclusion is to follow. Sometime over the next year, probably.

Now, I have no freaking idea how long book 3 will be. Book 1 was about 117K, book 2 has come in at just over 97K. Book 3 will be ... er, whatever it turns out to be. The story is damned good, so there's no worries over whether I'll have enough story to tell. I've learned very well by now that I always have enough story to tell. The challenge for me is ending it. It's been moving along, though (214K worth, so far) and I really do know where it's going and how it's going to end. Trust me, I really, really do.

So, I will continue following the travels of Adam and Jane and their friends Lina and Rëmi. Actually, these last two are a bit more than just "friends," but you'll have to read the books to find out more about them.

I had thought I would get him introduced earlier, but our good buddy Cameron Fralick, the "big bad guy" in the story (oops, did I give something away? If so, well then too bad) finally makes his most auspicious appearance right at the end of book 2. And it's a memorable appearance, as well. Can you say "cliff-hanger ending"? Yep, that's what it is. And I'm loving it!

Readers, don't hate me, because you're going to like what's coming up. Oh, I forgot I don't have any readers, yet. Well, never mind. For now you'll just have to take my word for it--the story is good. Maybe it's not for everyone, but that doesn't matter because you simply can't please everyone. It pleases me, and I'm not some 16 year-old kid who's going to read this thing in a few years and think it's a piece of shit. But then, I'm feeling pretty good right now, so please forgive me if it sounds like I'm gushing all over myself. Someone has to do it.

Stay tuned. There's more to come.
