On Tuesday, during a nice hike in the lovely Ute Valley Park in the heart of Colorado Springs I finished dictating the last four chapters in BLOOD OF THE COSMOS, the second novel in my Saga of Shadows trilogy—a next-generation story in the universe of the Saga of Seven Suns.  That was 119 chapters, about 800 pages…and a big relief!  (Although I’m afraid I left a lot of my characters in very dire straits.)  In the end, I realized I had a relatively low body count of main characters.  Hmmm, maybe I’ll have to kill off a few during the editing process.

And the editing will take a while.  I’m keeping my typist’s fingers sore as she works her way through. She has mailed me back up to chapter 78, and I’ll be editing full-steam-ahead. I have no doubt she can stay ahead of me.

The first volume, THE DARK BETWEEN THE STARS, was just released in the US and UK. Tor Books (and Circle of Seven Productions) just released an incredible book trailer for that novel—practically a short movie! This is by far the best book trailer I’ve ever had done. Spend one minute and six seconds and have a look.
