8K and Counting...


A magical Beckett brother? Perhaps...

I only have 8k more to go before I send my current WIP, My Heart's Desire, off to my beta readers. So far I'm liking what I've got, but I need to make sure I have my logic holes fully filled in before I send it off. I think that will eat about half of that 8k. I always, always think I've covered everything I need to, and I'm always wrong. So it's off to The Meat Grinder in about 7k.

Chris and Lana are coming together nicely; the bad guy gets his comeuppance in a most satisfactory way; and since everything I write winds up turning into a series, I'm seeding the book with the makings of the next three (there are four Beckett brothers). I've got the meta-plot of each of them bouncing around in my head already, but don't worry, Bunny hunters! Bear Necessities is talking louder than ever, so as soon as Heart is done, I'll be writing two bears and a wolf lady.
