After many delays, three scrapped chapters and scrapping two thirds of the planned ending, I finally have a full draft of The Tales of Gehiwian Circle! It's safe to say that's the last time I try 'pantsing' a story idea, writing it as I go without a full plan. That was a lot less satisfying than my meticulous plotting of a full book from back to front, timeline, chapters, character arcs and all!
Gehiwian Circle is coming in at about as long as The Island's Swansong, and the first third is currently published. Now I just need to whip it all into something consistent and satisfying for release!
My next story, however, is exciting me more now I've left that idea to stew for several years. It'll be a historical horror/thriller (linear and planned), the train equivalent of Snakes On A Plane set in the late 1930s. Watch this space!
