It has been a very long time. In my defense, I have been getting my legal practice (Estate Planning - it's more fun than it sounds) off the ground and Pratt has been working like a fiend and raising his baby girl. But work on the book has continued, and we plan to have it completed by the end of this year.
Pratt added a large combat portion the other day. He had concerns that there were too many combatants and I told him to stop being such a baby. So... yeah. There were probably too many combatants involved in the scene, but I am hell-bent on keeping them all there. The wonderful upside of all the chaos was that one of the villains changed gender twice during the course of the fight. I suggested, not seriously, that a mid-combat sex-change must be some kind of magical side effect. Pratt texted back a single word in reply.
Overall things are coming together. I am trying not to look ahead to book 2, though I am desperate to get there. Though finishing up Book 1 along with all the necessary polishing needs to take priority. Well that's all for now, I have some law stuff to do.
