Status Update

At long last, I'm down to the finishing touches on Black Coven. Some of the plot threads ended up taking a lot more space than expected, pushing the book up to 24 chapters (compared to 15 + epilogue for Fimbulwinter). I suppose those who thought the first book was too short will be happy about that, although I'll be aiming for a shorter word count (around 20 chapters, or 110,000 words) in future books.

Editing, proofreading and other such tasks will likely take several weeks, but I'm currently hoping to release Black Coven by the end of April.

  2. Sweet! I'm really looking forward to this book. Fimbulwinter is one of the best books I've read in the last year, and I can't wait to see the story goes next.

    1. No epilogue. Although the way the editing is going I may end up inserting another chapter in the middle.

  5. Ah that's awesome :D I've been really looking forward to it ever since those teasers, they whet my appetite ^_^

    About the book size, I figure that if you're going to finish your story it doesn't really matter, more shorter books or less longer books... It's all going to add up to the same right? This way we get a fix earlier :D
