Back to work

So having spent the weekend celebrating the achievement that is Secret Ones, it’s time to return to the last book of the trilogy – Rogue Gadda.

So as I mentioned on June 20, I’d realised that a plot point I was using in Rogue Gadda is also in Secret Ones, and therefore I needed to come up with a new idea. I came up with that idea, but then copyedits for Power Unbound intervened and I had to put RG aside.

That turned out to be a good thing, because in the process of doing the edits for PU, one of the characters took it upon herself to whisper in my ear what she was really up to. I’d thought I knew but I had no idea.

This entails a major change to RG, and what’s more the changes start far sooner in the book than I’d realised. So it seems I’m now about to start a major re-write of the last half of the book (and therefore the end of the trilogy).

I’m going to take advantage of this to do some awful things. One piece of feedback I’ve received is that the characters get out of things too easily. Well, not this time, my friends. They are going to SUFFER.

I’ve got until August 9 to have this done – five weeks. So, let’s get to work.
