He’s Going to Kill You
(The first novel in the Gonna Kill You Trilogy book series)
Not much happened for He's Going to Kill You during September. I made some changes to the manuscript based on beta reader feedback, and the manuscript now rests with my proofreader. We'll be entering the homestretch soon, and the novel is still on track to release December 2023. It'll be a nice Christmas Gift for all of you.
She’s Going to Kill You
(The second novel in the Gonna Kill You Trilogy book series)
This is where the September action happened. I read five books for research and get myself into the writing mood. You can read about those details here.
In addition, I've finished my outline and started on the first chapter. The aim is to finish the first draft by the end of October. With tax extension season still on the rampage, it'll be an arduous battle, but I've done it before and I'll do it again. Wish me luck.
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. I've drafted Part 1 and am expecting the release next month.
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.

September 2023 Giveaway Winner: And the winner of the September 2023 giveaway is... No one. *Tumbleweeds roll through the blog* The ZanderverZ Pinterest account only has one follower, and that's me. So technically, I'd be the winner, but we're not going to do that. We'll move onward to the next giveaway and not look back.
