This coming weekend will mark the one year anniversary of me deciding to be brave (or stupid) enough to pull the trigger and click "submit" for my first story here.
That story was the first few chapters in my apocalyptic sci-fi story "Make the Cut"
It was received fairly well and I was encouraged to continue posting. Editors began to offer their help to make it somewhat readable and coherent. Some even prompted me to 'figure the damn plot out' and have an ending target.
Parts two and three soon followed and together, the three added up to a decent novel sized grouping. Thus, Book 1 "Make the Cut" was born.
Book two and three came next over the next half a year as the plot demanded 'Trilogy'! With that, the story had found a decent stopping point and I was content.
... for a while. John's story had more to tell. In late spring I started jotting down the basis for a book four. The book fought back and the plot twisted and turned. But, I finally wrangled it into something presentable.
My editors had a first go at it and tweaked it further. They even had their chance to stop the train wreck, but alas, its too late. Momentum is too strong.
I've still got a few people giving it a final polish but last night, I finished my own milestone edits of the first passes and its very close. Close enough to release as an ARC in time to meet my one year anniversary here. If you are interested, its up on Bookapy.
Hope you like it. Check back soon for updates on when to expect the SOL release.
