There have been a few of these moments in Exiles and One Law. But there are some heavier ones coming in Book Three--some of them took me by surprise, too!

I would love to have my series rendered as graphic novels or comics! This is just a quick generation of the cover art in comic style--it kinda works! (I would work with an artist to actually do it; this was just messing around with artist-produced work, which I own.)
Also, the art for Book Three will be prepared by the end of summer (hopefully). I have the concepts already mocked up. Just waiting for the final 5K words or so in this draft before I make the call!

As I reached the 100K word threshold, I thought I would share a few stats about the story so far:
Chapters: 59
POV characters: 11, of which
> 4 are the POV of only one chapter each
> 3 are making their chapter POV debuts in the series
> Ian Null has the most (14)
> Crystal Sheppard has the second-most (13)
Longest chapter: "The End of Silence" (3244 words)
Shortest chapter: "Diamonds" (788 words)
Average chapter word-count: 1688 words
F-bombs: I tend to avoid overusing profanity; in Exiles and One Law you could count on one hand how many appear. In Book Three, there are 15:
> Steven Reekan is responsible for 8 of them.
> Lorrie Sheppard is responsible for 2.
Spicy scenes in Exiles and One Law: 0
Spicy scenes in Book Three: 1
Death count: Keep your tissues handy.
There are about 15K words left to write--next update will be then! In the home stretch now!

I've passed 80K words, and with this most recent chapter, I'm into the final act of the book (and series!) It's getting close now. The emotions are getting heavy!

Fun fact: The cover art for One Law was created by Getcovers, based out of Ukraine!

I reached the 60K mark this afternoon, finishing two chapters (one long one ended up being two). I'm well over halfway, as I'm aiming to top out at 110K for this book. So far, 37 chapters written plus the prologue--I have no idea how many there will be in total, that much I can't predict just yet. I can say that some plot points I was certain were immovable have changed, in really fascinating and (I think) better ways for the resolution of the whole story. I can't wait to get this draft finished so I can share with beta readers--I think it's going to hit the reader right in the feels!

I would be the plotter. The original short story that would become Chronicles of the Reclamation was written in Spring '92. It was called The Fifth Sector, written as an assignment for Creative Writing 110. I envy the pantsers (fly by the seat of your pants) in that they have complete freedom to just write--but I'm comfortable enough in my habits!

If you're looking for a last-minute stocking stuffer for the reader in your life, you can still grab copies of Exiles and One Law in time for the holidays! Chapters in Fredericton has copies of both. And I have physical copies on hand as well--feel free to message me if you'd like one!

After some spinning wheels and a good, hefty push, Book Three loosened itself from its rut and is moving along nicely once again! At over 30,000 words as of this afternoon, we're over a quarter of the way through this second draft. As the overall story has evolved so much since I published Exiles, for Book Three virtually everything I write now is all-new/complete rewriting (there are a few scenes from the first draft that have survived but are significantly revised). The story is in its final sprint now--I need to remind myself to slow down and let the story unfold at the right pace in order to bring it to a satisfying finish!

Exiles is back in stock at Chapters in Fredericton! If you have a Chapters or Indigo near you, you can ask them to stock my titles. Or, you can order them off Amazon anywhere in the world!

If you've read any of my books, why not drop a review on Amazon--the more I receive, the more exposure I get (even if it isn't 5-star, they all count!) And if you enjoyed my stories, please tell a friend you think might also enjoy them! I'm hoping to expand my distribution, so any word-of-mouth certainly helps. Thanks, everyone, for the continued interest and support!
