With everything going on in my life I will say that I am much surprised that I got a wee bit of work going on. I didn’t go to the nearest restaurant like a blogger friend/author suggested and find a napkin to write on, but I did open up my box and grab my notebooks. There have been a lot of things I have been meaning to do regarding book two. There has been killing, of course, although it wasn’t in one of my fits of madness like I seemed to think. That was actually done beforehand and it is a very telling situation. A name for the book is still circling my head and when there are some more readers to Rise of a Queen (you can get it here for ebook and paperback, here, here, here, or here) I would LOVE some input in my email box so as not to give any SPOILERS 😀 Oh do I love River Song. Oh okay off of Doctor Who, I can’t help it. I have been signing all my books with my sonic screwdriver pen I love my readers oh so much.
I am trying my hardest to get history/mythology correct with it’s timeline and place it is taking a bit longer than I had expected but in all honesty would you rather a book with something that was completely made up? “But J.S. you made up your own mythology in Rise of a Queen, so you’re now dealing with a double standard” I hear some of you shout. Why yes, I did make up one story, the creation. I got a little tired of the same old crud that was always thrown into people’s faces so I brought something fresh, yet quite believable to the table. The second one actually continues into more detail in the second book, which is why I am researching so extensively. I so love research but getting time to do it and write down the notes can be a bit tough. Then the tougher part, reading my notes and putting into some form of electronic media since that’s how everything is done at this point. Curses!!!! *fist in air*.
Emma and Melinda have their own storyline, Jason finds love, Tessa hunts for the truth, and the end tale of that truth is a reality that surprises even her. Ok, enough of those spoilers. Oh hi River, did I bring you up again?
Late at night I’m up, I did try to sleep, honest. Instead I am here, blogging and gathering more information regarding mythology that existed during the Thrace time period and the movements of one great conqueror (possibly, that one is to be determined).
