I hope everyone is enjoying my second book in the Galahad's Doom series, Marching As To War. I have been pleased with the number of books that have sold, but there has yet to be a review left on Amazon. I ask of you two things if you have read it: reach out to me and let's talk about it. I love that direct feedback and enjoy talking story details and characters with my readers. The second thing is: please leave a review! They help tremendously with raising the profile of the book on Amazon.
For those of you who have indeed read the first two books, I have what I hope you'll agree is some exciting news.
I have made enormous progress on the third and final book of the trilogy. I am thrilled to say that as of today, the last day of February 2019, I have already passed 17,000 words on it. This represents the entire first act of the novel. At this rate, the book could be ready next year. There was a four year gap between the first two books and I'm focused on making sure the wait isn't nearly that long this time.
I'm also extremely pleased with how good those 17,000 words are. With so many things in motion at the end of the second book, it was easy to really hit the ground running. I know these characters so well now, everything is just flowing. This is going to be one action-packed book. So much stuff happening at once.
Tell ya what, I'm so pleased with the opening act of Book 3, I'll make this deal with you. If you reach out to me and provide me with enough specific feedback that I know you've read Marching As To War AND you leave an Amazon review, I will privately send you the first three chapters of the next book for free as an extremely advanced sneak preview. My gmail address is galengriffon _at_ gmail dot com.
That's all for now. I intend to check in at the end of each month this year with an update on my word count, as a way to keep me accountable. If I can keep this pace, the first draft could be done by the summer.
Galen Griffon will return in
Galahad's Doom Part III: The Armor of God.
