It has been a long walk over the last couple of years.
As 2024 draws to a close, I think to myself, “I’ve made it this far! Damn, I’m surprised.”
A good surprise it is, too.
This novel I’ve been dragging on for the last two years is drawing to a close. It started out as something else, and as usual, it has morphed into something so much larger that it’s a bit difficult to get your arms around it. That said, it is perhaps the reason I enjoy doing it. Writing something that is evocative, that gets under your fingernails like a nasty splinter. Picking at something deep within you, a paper cut between your fingers that just won’t heal.
Yeah, something like that.
In other news, all the covers of my books have been updated. Using some new tools, I’ve finally found a way to create covers that are worth what’s written within. I own the imagery (copyrighted by me) and I love it! So much so that I am most likely going do another novel (I won’t give away the name) rather than War Rail next. Of the thousands of images I have created, I am deeply inspired in ways that continue to surprise me. I only hope I have enough time in this life to write all the novels that are burbling around inside my mind.
That said, the Mongruxx always pulls me back into their orbit. I love the characters and have difficulty staying away from them too long. So, another novel in the series is definitely in the near future.
