Coming Home - Book 3 Begins

Posted at
 

The latest installment of my ongoing Coming Home series has been submitted for posting. Book 3 has twenty-two chapters and roughly 215,000 words to it. I will post two chapters a week on Tuesdays and Fridays until the entire story is posted.

I am finishing incorporating Persecutor's recommended corrections into my master text now. I hope to have an eBook version of Book 3 ready to post in a couple weeks.

I hope everyone enjoys my continuing story of Kyle & Penny Martin and their family. I also wish everyone one a happy new year.

Coming Home Book 3 Update

Posted at
 

I finished the first draft of the book last week. I sent the final three chapters off to my editor. He reviewed them and returned them promptly. I am working through his edits, incorporating his suggestions into my final draft.

I will post Chapter 1 of Coming Home - Book 3 on Tuesday, January 2, 2024. I will post chapters on Tuesdays and Fridays until I have all twenty-two chapters posted. I will post the complete ebook on Bookapy late in January when I get it prepared.

I thank everyone for your patience with me. I hope you enjoy this story.

Coming Home - Book 3 Update

Posted at Updated:
 

Today is a red letter day. I have completed the first draft of Book 3. My editor has four more chapters to review. Once he is done, I will incorporate his recommendations into the final draft of the story.

I doubt I will be ready to post until after New Year's. I plan to post two chapters a week (Tuesday and Fridays, probably) until all twenty-two chapters are posted. The work runs 215,000 words and 493 pages in MS Word.

I will post my full Book 3 as an ebook on Bookapy after I have it ready. I am guessing I will have six to eight chapters posted on SOL by that time.

Anyway, thank you all for your patience. Book 3 will be out soon.

Coming Home - Book 3 Update

Posted at Updated:
 

I so enjoyed my stay up in Vermont. Sadly I had to come home after Labor Day. I am as swamped with work as ever right now. That is the bad news. The good news if that there is a light at the end of this busy, dark tunnel I am in. Retirement is eight weeks away.

My editor has been doing yeoman work. He has the first seventeen chapters of Book 3 done for me. All I need to do is find/make time to finish the last two or three chapters remaining and have him go over them.

I hope to get that accomplished in January. I will begin posting as soon as I am finished with the initial draft of those final chapters.

Laugh for the day:

Only in Lancaster County...
There was an accident down the block from my house this evening. A farmer on his tractor wasn't paying attention when he pulled out from a side street. He ran into a combine! How do you not see a piece of farm machinery as large as a combine and run into the side of it?

Update on Book 3

Posted at
 

I got swamped with work starting around the middle of June. I did not write one word for Book 3 for two months. Thankfully, the big project I was working on went out the door two weeks ago. The next day I headed north for a two and a half week vacation at a cabin in Vermont overlooking Lake Champlain.

What a setting! Better it is peaceful and quiet and a perfect place to write. I filled in a lot of holes in the story. I have roughly seventeen chapters of the first draft complete. My editor has started his work too. I expect the final story to run around 500 pages in MS Word and 22 or 23 chapters.

My aim now is to begin posting Book 3 sometime in October or early November, assuming I can keep up my productivity.
