If you received the available update email don’t worry, there were no ‘significant editorial changes’. Corrected a few typos and added an embedded link to the book on Amazon so it’s easier to leave a review!

For those readers who emailed or posted wondering when book 2 would be released, my best guess is Jan-March 2014. Much quicker than traditionally published fantasy novel sequels, but still a few months away. At this stage I don’t know the schedules of my beta-readers and editor so it could be earlier, but don’t count on it!

The first draft is just over 50% complete and I’m aiming to write 10-15k words per week from now on. With any luck the first draft will be finished in 8 weeks.

Should I kill Miranda? Or maybe Amerdan? Who knows… maybe no one will die. Nah.

Amazon had a few issues with categories the last day or two, and they’ve finally been fixed. Again, a big thank you to all the readers who took a chance on an unknown author!
