He’s Going to Kill You
(The first novel in the Gonna Kill You Trilogy book series)
During August, the manuscript went out to a few alpha readers. I've heard back from around 40%. During September, I'm planning to wrap up with the alpha readers and move onto the beta readers. If you’re interested in being a beta reader, reach out to me here.
In the meantime, I've been working on the cover and interior art for the novel. I have to sprinkle some of my art into it, because I just love to draw too much.
She’s Going to Kill You
(The second novel in the Gonna Kill You Trilogy book series)
I've started the first few steps on my fourth book, She's Going to Kill You. It's planned for Summer 2024.
The first few steps include designing an icon and research reading. My initial research book is Winters, Eve.
During September, I'll be starting my writing sprint for this novel. I've yet to decide if writing sprints are fun or not.
The Reboot of the Nine Draft Process
The Nine Draft Process (9DP) blog has been rebooted. Part 0, an introduction to the process, has been posted.
The blog will follow my process through He's Going to Kill You, which is the same process I've used for all my books. If you're looking for guidance on how to write a book, I think this will help.
You can find the introduction here.
