I’m very excited to announce that I finished the first draft of the very first book in the Guardians of Hades<\/strong><\/em> series today. I had two chapters to write, one of which was a nice big fight scene. You know I love to write fight scenes! I completed that this morning and then took a break before writing the final chapter which wrapped up everything in the book. The book ended up being 107,000 words in total, and I expect it to expand and shrink throughout the editing process. I am exhausted now, both physically and mentally. It’s always amazing how mentally taxing writing a book can be, and how quickly you can get exhausted when writing. I think I need a break now, so it’s good that my next project is proofreading Her Demonic Angel so it’s ready for release next weekend.<\/p>\n My word count for the year has risen nicely thanks to this first Guardians of Hades<\/em><\/strong> book. It now stands at 339,500 words written since January 2012, and means that I’m 60,500 words shy of my target of 400,000 words and it’s only just September. I’ll easily cover those and more when writing Bewitch<\/strong> and Unleash<\/strong> in the VET series. It’s exciting to see so many words have flowed from my fingers this year. I seem to go in cycles of writing years and editing years. Last year was definitely an editing year. This year is very much a writing year as I’ll be getting books done in first draft that will come out next year.<\/p>\n I’m really pleased with this first book in the Guardians of Hades<\/em> <\/strong>series though, and I’ll be sharing a few more snippets with you over the coming months to give you all a better taste of the book and give you an idea what to expect from the series as a whole. I hope you’ll all like it. It’s my usual brand of passionate paranormal romance packed with emotional intensity, action and intrigue, and some big shiny twists!<\/p>\n Now, I had better get working on Her Demonic Angel<\/strong> or it won’t be ready in time for next Saturday! I don’t think you’d like it to end up delayed, would you?<\/p>\n Once I’m done with proofreading Her Demonic Angel<\/strong>, I’ll be planning Bewitch<\/strong> and Unleash<\/strong>, and then writing Bewitch<\/strong>. I’m looking forward to delving back into the Vampire Erotic Theatre<\/strong><\/em> series and learning more about Payne.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I’m very excited to announce that I finished the first draft of the very first book in the Guardians of Hades series today.
