As you will know if you follow my blog, I had a nasty dose of the flu lately. The one good thing that came out of it was that I managed to finish the latest edit of Alien Secrets, Flight of the Kestrel book 2.
I finished it once and had it professionally edited. I made all the corrections, leaving the biggest problem until last: what’s known as the ‘muddy middle’. The problem in the middle was the timeline went out. I had two things going on at the same time, starting and finishing together, but one took a week and the other, two days!
It took more plot and ten thousand words to fix it, but I’m sure Alien Secrets is a much better novel for it. I have a final edit booked for April, which I hope will turn up very little to fix, and I should be launching in May or June. I’ve already started work on book 3, working title Planetfall, so it’s all happening. Watch this space.
