I don’t know if I am going to finish Tribal on time. I’m only on chapter five, and I have yet to introduce the other werewolves in depth. This should not surprise anyone who is a regular reader to this blog.

The F-35 Stealth Deadline — you’ll never see it coming or going.

I might have to divide my time between writing the book and the outline for Unbound – which is going to start January 1^st, 2026 regardless of where I am at with any other projects. I’ve got to get this done. Did you know I started this in 1998? All I have to show for it is an old manuscript that I have disavowed and a bunch of scenes and world building in my head that needs to get out. This is my baby, and now it’s old enough to vote, drink and smoke – probably doing all three while waiting for me to get to it.

That’s going to change ina few months. I’m spending the last three months of the year working on the outline for the first book, then work on the novel for the rest of the time. My only goal is to get at least one of the books in the trilogy finished…now that I have the theme of the third book a lot more solidified in my head. I’m not going to rush this series, as much as I want to get it out into the wild, I also need to take my time and get it right. Tyro deserves no less than that for my efforts.

Speaking of Tribal, it is coming along, just a little slow. I am going to take advantage of the three-day weekend to get caught up and even pad the word count a little. Right now, Edgar is meeting the other werewolves and he’s getting introduced into the fight club with the pack. This is the beginning of the second act, were we see him starting to adopt some of Jimmy’s philosophy. Not to worry, I am going to work my ass off to get this one finished on time. Editing can come in a few months while I am writing the Big Project.

I also want to announce that one of my friends has a new romance book out and you should get it! Now, I am not one to read romances all willy-nilly, but this is the one exception that I heavily endorse. She’s a great writer and a good friend. Go get it! Now!

That’s all I have for now. I do need to get some writing done since I got so little done at lunch. Ta-ta for now!
