Past the mid-point

Tainted, The Taellaneth - Book 4, is now live in the world.

This was an interesting one to write.  Past the mid-point. Not quite at the end. Arrow's grown so much since Concealed (Book 1), and the challenges just keep coming. She's a strong, capable person with her own views about things.

I've got one more book to write in this series, within the planned structure and arc that I dreamt up what seems like an eternity to go.  It's bitter-sweet. On the one hand, I've got another book to write, another chance to spend a lot of time with my characters and to see them grow even more.  And, with their voices clearer in my head than at the start, I'm really looking forward to writing the next book.

On the other hand, there's one more book to go. Just one. I already know that I will be sorry to say goodbye to Arrow.

But then it will be time to give some space to some of the other characters that are in my head and bugging me to get their stories written.  They are not being very patient about it!

I hope you enjoy Tainted.

I love hearing from readers, so if you do have any questions about my writing, please get in touch.
