March is here! My birth month.

Not much to add, still plugging away at Kill The King, and have made a lot of progress. It’s turned out to be a much larger-scale and more complex book than I’d anticipated, but I’m very excited about what I’ve got so far. I broke ground on the first scene (which probably won’t end up being the first scene) and spat out 800+ words. 

What little I can reveal:

• Takes place chronologically five months after Wouldn’t Be Seen Dead, and two years before Dirty Eyes.
• We will see many characters return, and witness how some hinted-at events actually transpired.
• About on par with Dirty Eyes in terms of scale and set-pieces.
• All operatives in the city are set the same task and made to work together, which of course sets many of them at odds.

I’m at the stage I like to call the Scene Breakdown, where I take the thousands of words of structured plot and divide it into distinct scenes with Beginnings and Ends and Beats Which Must Be Hit. I want to have the first draft done by winter, so I can give Dirty Eyes another draft and hopefully start showing it to literary agents.

If anyone knows of any such agents looking for a thriller writer, let me know.

PS: also been having ideas for a fantasy book, and a vampire book (which is perhaps also in our fair city of Dirty Eyes?)
