Fourth Point of Contact

I'm happy to report that Fourth Point of Contact went to proofreading last night. That...that took a lot longer than I initially expected. 

You have to understand, Fourth was initially a novella. It was roughly 60,000 words, just shy of novel length, and my editor encouraged me to just leave it there. But I didn't like it. I have a fundamental issue about books that don't really have a plot. So I spun a plot into the book, but because I was doing it after the fact, many of the chapters I'd already written had to change to reflect the plot. Mostly dialogue, but still. That took two months of edits, with me publishing another book, and writing the draft for yet a third book all while juggling Fourth. 

Yes. Yes, I am insane. Thank you for noticing. 

But at the end of it all, Fourth had a plot and a word count of 122,000 words. It's not the largest book I've written, but it's in tie for first place. I will be so, so happy when this book is published. 

And I can't wait for YOU to be able to read it and tell me what you think. :)
