Chapter Twenty Three

I have finished Chapter Twenty Two and am now working on Chapter Twenty Three.  Up until this point I have had already written drafts to work with.  Now I shall be working with creating complete scenes without the usage drafts but that of my notes on what should be happening so it'll most likely take me longer to write this portion as I have only notes and not complete scenes to go on.  I am hoping to have In the Shadows finished before September.  Even though I have no plans of releasing it until I have finished a rough draft of Geometry Souls and start on the third Book, Renegade.  I want to be able to release the books hopefully within a year of each other.  I am not sure how likely a goal I am setting myself with that.  But it should give me time to save up for illustrations as I would greatly like to be able to not only have cover art; but also a few pieces of inside art of good quality for these books.   It will also give me time to work on the Lay of Keiken and Erienne, which is the corner piece of Kalunesh History as it sets up the fall of the Reisiri Empire and the founding of the current Kalunesh Empire.

I have also been working on my novel, Zmeij, which is going to be a single novel, unlike these Ashes of the Fallen Books.   I drew up a map for Daukkon Kingdom in Zmeij yesterday, and came up with some of their economy, but not much else then that.  The northern half is mountainous and rich with mineral wealth and irons.  The southern half is more the agricultural economy.  I will type more when I have more to type.
