I’m working as hard as I can on book three. I realized the last update I gave was in November of 2009, so I thought I’d offer an update. I’m now at 50,241 words, which is about 200 pages. That puts me at about 1/3 of the way done! Woot! I’m pleased with what’s happening so far. I’m spending a lot of thinking time about my bad guys. Even though they aren’t in any of the scenes I’m writing, I need to know where they are and what they’re doing so I know how their dastardly goings on will affect Achan and Vrell later.
A few teasers of what might happen in book three, just to tide you over. Achan is getting to know Duchess Amal a bit better. Matthias has arrived on the scene, if you remember who he is from book two. Jax, Sir Rigil, Bran, and Gren will have a bigger part in book three. Noam and Harnu will return, as will Peripasio, my cave-dwelling man from book one.
So there you go. Now, back to writing. 🙂

I hope it doesn’t go by too fast. I have a lot more to write… 🙂

I just discovered the books and am starting (as I write) on To Darkness Fled. Very much looking forward to the next one.

Thanks, Jesslyn! Where did you find out about the books?
You have a lovely name, by the way. 🙂

Ooh I can’t wait! I had actually just read (in the past two weeks) these books for the first time. I don’t know why I didn’t know of these before! They are astonishing! I was almost in tears at the end of the book, because it ended. I am dying to read the third book.
All the best,
Josh

Thanks so much, Josh! I’m glad you liked the books. I’m actually almost done with book three now. But it won’t come out till next April.

Hee hee. Glad you liked the books, Leanne. I’m actually done with my first draft of book three. I should probably write a post about that…

Jill, all i can say is that you are amazing. Your books are an inspiring read. I read By Darkness Hid in 1 day, and then started To Darkness Fled and finished it in two days. I cried at the end of it and spent the rest of the day staring out the window thinking. {on the way home from Salt Lake :)}
Your books have helped me connect with God in a wy that i never thought possible. Thank you so much.Cant wait for the third book!
Keep Going

I will keep going. You keep going too.
