Howdy Folks,
So, we are halfway through the first month of the year, and I have to say, things are going great so far! Lauren and I just finished what we hope to be our last major revision on Frostfire before a professional editor looks at the draft (Which we hope to score sometime this year through an agent. Fingers crossed). We ended up biting the bullet and dividing the (very) long manuscript into two books, and paring out a few of the extraneous characters, replacing them with more central ones to introduce more characterization for, and information about, our main characters (or at least one of them). It does mean we technically have two and a half of the Frostfire series' books written though! The (now) second one will obviously need some cleaning up now that it has been divorced from its other half, but that sure beats the Hell out of having to write it fresh.
Our next order of business is to polish up our submission packet and start sending those queries out while we work on some other projects in the background. It is likely we won't stay away from the Frostfire books for long, though. We both adore Kyran and Barrett, and have a lot planned for them. There is actually a document we have in their folder title "The Big Picture" that has our plan for the books mapped out. It is flexible, and changes some as we develop the books and characters, but it is more or less the plan we have envisioned from the beginning, and boy, are you all in for a treat.
As a reminder, there is a special treat coming some time this month, so keep checking our social media for what that just might be.
Until Next Time,
Anna
