Earlier this year, my Armchair Alien co-conspirator and I decided to set ourselves a writing challenge — we’d pull some cards from a box of mixed cards (playing cards, game cards, tarot, etc.) and use the same set to each write our own story.
You can read all about it and see the cards here:
I mentioned a while ago that I was working on a secret story project — this was it! I admit I was procrastinating editing book 3 of The Lyra Cycle. The story started over on Armchair Alien today (though I recommend you read about the challenge first). Even though I was procrastinating on book 3, this prequel story stars a side character from book 2, and adds a whole new faction to the series bible.
Writing update
Now that I’ve stopped procrastinating book 3 edits are well under way. I’m aiming for an end of summer release … if you count September as end of summer.
Books for your TBR shelf
No promos or books by fellow authors to share this week. Instead, this newsletter is brought to you by my own books.
If you haven’t read book 1 of The Lyra Cycle yet, now’s a great time to start your adventure — A Dead Ship in the Deep Black is only 99 cents from armchairalien.com or your favourite online bookstore.
If urban fantasy is more your thing, um, wait until July when book 1 of Bloodborne Pathogens should be on sale.
Since I can’t read my own books again, I’m reading the Wool omnibus before I watch the TV series.
Happy reading!
