NaNo, the one third mark.

It is day 10 of NaNo and this marks the 1/3 point of the challenge. I covered a lot of ground today, and I'm very happy with my story progress, but, my word count is a little short of the one-third mark. Tomorrow will be my day, I can feel it. The plot is starting to come together now.

Word Count:

14091 / 50000 words. 28% done!

In other news, look what I found today: I'm on the RavenCon website! Of course, I've known I'll be a guest for a couple months now, but this is the first time I've seen my guest link. Very cool. If you will be in the Richmond, Virginia, area between April 9 - 11, you should definitely come out and see me.

So how are you doing? Several of you passed the 1/3rd mark days ago *huge cheers for you!* Others should be right on track to be hitting it tonight, and a couple, like me are dragging a little behind (don't worry, we'll catch up!) So, let's see those word counts!

Day 10: Should be one third of the way through now, only at 14,756. Still not bad for a full day
of work and sleep. Just have to keep it up, find ways to catch up at
some point.

We've been tossing around the idea of attending RavenCon 2010 since we discovered the 2009 RavenCon just in time to miss it. We're only a few hours away, so we were thinking of picking a day and making it a day trip.

Day 10: 18,792/50,000
Only 1,208 words to get to 20K.

GRAVE DANCE Contest and extended excerpt!

Image
Today all my news is about Grave Dance. You might have seen my earlier tweet that I received a couple of ARCs. I think now is a good time to give one of those copies away, don't you? What is up for grabs: An ARC (advanced reading copy) of Grave Dance. These are pre-pageproof copies, so there are some uncorrected mistakes and a few very minor text changes. How to win: Leave a comment telling me how you first found me and my books. I'm just curios. ^_^ Only comments left on the blogspot blog will count toward entry, so if you are reading this post somewhere else, please stop by THE BLOG .

Who is eligible to win: I'm willing to ship overseas, so the contest is open  internationally . Anyone who has not already read or received a copy of Grave Dance, and who is not related to me or my critique partners is eligible to win! Okay, I think that about covers it as ...

What's Next?

A lot of people are writing to ask if Grave Destiny is the final book in the series. I'm very happy to report that no, this is not the end! Ace has contracted one final Alex Craft novel so that I can finish up the story. I'm currently writing the first draft, and while it has a tentative title, I'm not free to share it quite yet. I'll be turning in the 7th Alex Craft novel this September, so I anticipate it will be released late 2020 or early 2021 but will update you when I have more information. So, for those of you worried that this might be the end, worry not. There is more. I hope you are enjoying Grave Destiny!
