So, What's Coming After Wolf's Reign

I'm not sure at this point, but I believe this series will be complete after book 5, Wolf's Reign. My characters will tell me if I am wrong. :)

However, I will not be done writing in this world. Minor characters want their stories told, too. I am planning a second series in this universe telling the back stories of many of these characters, how they came to be a part of the series, and where their lives take them from here. Time will tell how many books are written in this universe. If more stories keep popping into my head, this universe may supply several series.

Have ideas about possible stories for these characters? Let me know in the comments. I'll discuss your ideas with my characters and see if any will take the challenge. :)

Thank you for reading my books. Thank you for reading my blog posts.

I can't tell you how much I appreciate you all!

Later,

Review: Self-Editing for Fiction Writers: How to edit yourself into print

Self-Editing for Fiction Writers by Renni Browne and Dave King

A Review: Self-Editing for Fiction Writers

One of the 'rewards' I give myself when I publish a new book is a copy of the book just publishing in paperback and a book on writing or editing.

The most recent writing/editing book I purchased was Self-Editing for Fiction Writers: How to edit yourself into print by Renni Browne and Dave King.

All writers need editors. Unfortunately, logistics and finances don't always cooperate, especially for indie authors.

Though non-fiction writers also need editing, the topic for today is self-editing for fiction writers. With several years of professional technical and non-fiction editing behind me, it was interesting to learn fiction editing is different in many ways.

What surprised me and had me excited about this book is the number of examples. In every chapter, clear examples demonstrate how to use the training Browne and King provide.

Both authors, Renni Browne and Dave King, are professional fiction editors. Their chapter headings include: Show and Tell, Characterization and Exposition, Point of View, Proportion, Dialogue Mechanics, See How It Sounds, Interior Monologue, Easy Beats, and more. The appendices provide answers to the exercises in the book, as well as a list of top books for writers.

I'm going to go read more.

Wolf's Huntsman: First Draft Complete

Wolf's Huntsman Update: 1st Draft & 3 Edits Complete

Wolf's Huntsman, Book 4 in the Texas Ranch Wolf Pack series should publish no later than August 1!

It has been through 3 edits, with a few more to go. 

You can read the first three chapters in this blog post: 

The Black Forest Huntsmen intended to take over the U.S. government. When Alpha werewolves, Nate and Eli, with the help a young Huntsman, thwart those plans, the Huntsmen send agents to kill their traitor. One of those agents is the man's sister. 

But, there's more to the story. A plot so insidious, so disastrous that if it isn't foiled will have more far reaching consequences than a possible World War III.  Will Nate learn about the threat to all humanity in time?

In this story, Nate begins to unravel the history of the werewolves and his own family, culminating the discovery of a threat to the lives of all humans.
