A few weeks ago I mentioned that I’m under a deadline of sorts. I need to finish the first draft of The Warlock’s Army before the end of spring break, so I can turn to other projects. Here it is, the penultimate day of spring break, and…

I am close. I’ve written the scene where the character has been dragged into the depths. Three of his kids are staring at the churning water and trying to figure out what to do about it. I have to pause for gaming tonight, but whatever they try will be in vain. It will be super dramatic. Soon, soon I will earn my celebratory chocolate cake.

After that are just a couple of scenes to tie things up. It won’t be a neat, happy ending even if it does come full circle. More like a picking-up-the-pieces ending.

As for those other projects, I’ve seen the cover art for Standing Stones and Eldritch Tomes. It’s good, but I requested some changes. That’s coming along well, and I hope I’ll have something to show off soon. I’m also working on the character and author questions for Queen Titania’s Court. As always, if you have a fantasy book (or similar publication) that you’d like to promote, I’d love to invite you to the Midsummer Ball. And if you know a friend who has something, go ahead and give them my name. The more the merrier!
