The contract for "Elk's Resolve" has been signed and now the real work begins. At this time we are waiting to hear from the editors to set up our time table. I will update you on the process as things happen so you can go through it with me. (smile smile)
"Elk's Resolve" shares some characters with "Nan's Journey" and introduces a few more very colorful characters that I think you will enjoy. The point of view is the same as "Nan" was written in. The overall theme is about depression, spiritual warfare, and overcoming negative thoughts and behavior. The setting is Trinidad and Montrose, Colorado. (some of my favorite places on earth)
Answers to the questions raised in the first book will be answered. I have been accused of only writing "Nan's Journey" so that I could write a series. Yes, it does lend itself to a series and I am happily writing it as a series. Each book in the series features different characters. I could have written it in one book, but who wants to read a 450 page book! (I know there are people out there who love to read large books, but the rest of us need something more managable.)
The third book is almost at the half-way point on the first draft. I want to have it completed before the edits on "Elk's Resolve" begins. It does help to have something to occupy my mind while I am waiting between the steps to publication, so I think I have a good chance of getting it done. I want to put it in a contest that christianstoryteller.com is hosting. The deadline is December 31st so I need to get going!
