As we are nearing the end of The Trials Of Carstairs, you might like to know I just completed the sequel. It will be called This Is Your Carstairs Speaking and the story arc I set up turned out to be so ambitious I'm going to need a second book to finish it. Right now the book is slightly longer than Best Sister Ever and I'll need at least as much space to complete the story. That might easily take another year and I don't want to make you wait that long. Still, this one has a lot of great scenes, which I won't ruin for you right now. You'll have to wait and see!
I just typed 'The End', but that doesn't mean I can just upload the PDF and be done with it. Now follows another reading session, to clean up roughly 207.000 words spanning 384 pages. Then I will hand it over to my army of proof readers while I have a word with my cover designer. I also asked two pilots to have a look at a specific scene, but haven't heard (much) back yet.
All in all I hope I can put this out before Christmas. At this time I don't think I can coordinate between any more proof readers, but if you are an experienced illustrator who doesn't take as long to draw as I do to write, do let me know. Or if you're an Airbus pilot who actually has time to write back. That would be nice, too.
