I am in the editing process for the first book of my Entangled Web series. If you have followed me for a while, you know I continue to push back the release date. I am very passionate about Entangled Web since it was the first novel and series that I have written. I don’t want to give up, but I sometimes know the stories never work out.
I have “Destruction” scheduled for editing in September 2022 and a potential release in the winter of 2023. This gives me a deadline to ensure that my editing is complete and that the manuscript is ready to be submitted to the editor. What does this mean? I received an editorial assessment a few years ago, and there was positive feedback and a lot of work on my end to ensure the fantasy novel is up to par.
I have completed the second novel’s first manuscript draft, but that book needs a lot of work. I am unsure of the release date because I have other works in progress. However, I will strive to have it completed within one year from the release date of the first novel. I am super excited to get this series in print.
A little about the realm Noradell. I have a section on my website dedicated to Noradell, including the worlds The Vale (Entangled Web) and Isle of the Forgotten (Heir to Sharadell). I started by creating the world on a poster board to help track the characters’ movements as I wrote the manuscript. I had no idea where the story was going or the path the characters were going to take.
I don’t typically outline or plot my stories. I have handwritten most of my work because it is easier for me and helps keep my creativity moving. Of course, each writer is different, and I have used an outline for some of my newer, longer works, such as the Heir to Sharadell, my debut novel scheduled to be released in the fall of 2022.
