I know I haven’t been around much and I promised a teaser so I wanted to let you know where I was with A Witch’s Concern (AKA Book 4 or AWC).
AWC came back from the editor (an an alpha reader) not that long ago with very valuable notes. After a small tantrum and soul-searching, it’s getting what I think of as a total re-write. The second draft will have big, significant, all-over-the-place changes. Something like a quarter of the book is being taken out, and will be replaced with entirely different parts of the story.
That’s a lot of changes, and because of the scope of the edits, I’m holding off on any snippets because I’m not sure what’s going to stay or leave and I don’t want to release a section that will have references to story arcs that won’t be in the finished book.
If that sounds like a trivial reason, think of what I’m doing as being on the same level of difficulty as trying to remove Ty from A Witch’s Path. Entire chunks of the book would need to be reworked and there are references to him tucked away like easter eggs.
I would hate for you to see references to a Ty-like event and find out when you read the published version that no such sequence happens.
