Writing Update: Progress on An Arrow Against the Wind

I thought I’d share about my progress on An Arrow Against the Wind today. Since The Bow of Destiny was released last Fall, I’ve been at work continuing The Bow of Hart Saga. An Arrow Against the Wind went to my editor early this year though behind schedule. I’ve since received it back with many changes to make in a structural edit. I must say that my editor did a great job of inferring what the arc of this book should be in spite of my wobbly rough draft. My editor is quite good at hitting the development nail squarely on the head.

However, as noted in early April, the cover of An Arrow Against the Wind has been completed. It’s already received a number of compliments. I can only hope that the book itself lives up to the quality of the cover and exceeds the current good ratings and reviews for The Bow of Destiny.

But it’s been a very busy season full of interruptions. I had wanted to complete An Arrow Against the Wind months ago but life has intervened and my writing schedule has suffered. It’s been a busy year of change so far as my daughter is graduating high school and preparing for college. We’ve spent quite a lot of time working on scholarship applications as well as those for college. Additionally, my work schedule has been much busier, leaving me with less energy to bring to writing than I wished.

However, the dust appears to be settling and my mind turns back to my project and all that it needs for the next round of editing. I hope to do complete this rather heavy round of editing soon enough to get the book to my editor for more work and then complete it for release this Fall. While it’s with the editor, I hope to complete the rough draft of The White Arrow but I’ll share about that project another time.

Additionally, I do hope to complete work on an anthology of completed short stories though some of these need some work yet. It should be a busy summer of writing but I hope it will end in some solid progress as I know a number of readers have expressed avid expectation to read An Arrow Against the Wind. I can only say please excuse my delays and I hope to oblige readers as soon as possible with the last two editions of The Bow of Hart Saga. I’ll post more definite release plans as the summer progresses as well as events for The Bow of Destiny and maybe the release of the short story anthology. Who knows, I may have time to get in another short story about the series as well.
