As I said in my Twitter update, I have three projects going on now. For the last week or so I've been working steadily on Makilien and am anxious to finish it. I'm really happy with it so far. I think I may go back and add even more to it when I'm done though. It might seem a little short for a fantasy novel so I want to add a little more depth to it. Writing the spiritual aspect of it has been very challenging, but well worth it. And today I figured out how to make it a trilogy. I wasn't happy with it only being a two book series. In all the other series I've written, I've ended each book nicely with no unanswered questions and more or less began from scratch in the next book, but the second book of Makilien will be different. It will end with something big that will not be resolved until the third book. I'm still working out the details of that last book, but I'm sure in a few days I'll have a pretty clear idea where I'll go with it . . . now I just need to finish the first and second books first. This third book idea is extra incentive for me to keep working hard on them because I'm so anxious to write it.
As for the new project I started working on, I have decided to write a prequel to my pirate series. For those who have read The Pirate Daughter's Promise, the prequel is going to be the story of Daniel and Grace. I am very excited about writing their story, and in researching that time period I have found some very interesting historical events to incorporate into the book that will make it even more than I thought it would be.
