I just finished writing the first chapter of book 13.  I can’t even believe it’s book 13 already, but there ya go.  I’m not going to be holding myself to monthly schedules anymore either.  It’ll be done when it’s done, though I will do my best to keep it within a six week schedule rather than a monthly one, just to make things easier on myself.  The cover and graphics are already done for it, so everything’s moving along pretty smoothly.

I’m very happy to announce that book 12 of the Unseen Things series is now available here on the official website as well as on Smashwords and OmniLit.  It’s currently processing on Amazon and Google Play as well and will be available soon.

Synopsis:

How exciting would your life be if you were assigned to guard mineral deposits on an uninhabited world?  Alarwyn thought that was going to be the sum total of her life, at least for the foreseeable future, but one day everything suddenly changed.  Selected by her superiors to be their emissary to the human dimension thanks to her friendship with Beth and Erin, she finally had a way out, but she never imagined what a life altering experience her new assignment would be.

Also, when Giles, Savaric, Billy and Sarah saved the inhabitants of dimension 3997C from an alien invasion, they had no idea of the repercussions they’d face in the aftermath.  When a colonel that’s had a past relationship with Charles and Richard suddenly shows up at the house, he informs them that the alien invaders known as species 2773 Delta want their heads, and they’re not the type to take no for an answer.

With new characters, new loves and even more laughs as Patricia takes the others on yet another side job in which they revisit the infamous raccoon lady, Emissary is another fun and entertaining journey through the Unseen Things universe.

I just finished writing book 12 of the series, Emissary.  I’ll start the proofreading and editing process later tonight.  This is the longest book in the series, with the first draft coming in at 113,177 words for just the story itself before the editing.  During the editing process I’ll typically add around two to three thousand more, so I’m expecting it to end up around 116K words when all is said and done.

I have an idea of what’s coming in the next book, but I haven’t chosen a title yet.  I’ll decide on one by the time I finish editing this one.

Anyway, that’s it for now.  There are a couple of new characters in this book, one of which I had an absolute blast writing.  She’s very sharp, intelligent and endlessly enthusiastic.  I’m really looking forward to writing more of her.

Wayne asked me back for another interview on today’s show.  You can listen to it in the embedded player below.  We touched on a variety of things including book covers, social media and ways to get past writer’s block.

I made my first trailer for the series.  It’s nothing special, but I think it came out ok.  You can view the trailer below or at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-07kTppKfy0.
