Chronicles of M - Book 3, Update 1

No official title yet for Book 3. I was thinking "Hot Dog Island" but I'm not sure that really fits. I'm kidding....but not really. :P

Somehow I've managed to plow through 3 chapters already and I think I'm okay with that. I really don't want to get too far into this book because I want to see the initial reviews of Ammit (book 2) first. A lot of the writing changes may not go over as well as I would like and if I utilize them in book 3...then I need to do rewrites....

I don't know how crazy I'll get with the writing of this book, because I have a lot of ground to cover and I really have no idea how long this baby is going to get. It'll probably be roughly the length of 1 and 2 (230ish pages) but there's a good chance it could go much longer. I'll explain why. Book 3 is the closing for the first trilogy (I'm wanting to do 3 trilogies + a few in between to fill time gaps). In order for that to happen I have to (no spoilers here):

1. explain a lot of what is up with Thomas
2. establish an ending that not only finishes the trilogy, but opens the way for the next set and beyond.
3. explain what is up with M
4. at least allude to what will be happening with other major and minor characters of interest.
5. WATCH FOR PLOT HOLES.
6. some other stuff I'm sure I've forgotten at this moment.


There's a lot I could say here, but I don't want to ruin anything for anyone reading the books. Those people who have contacted me via email, twitter and facebook have all stated they like the unexpected twists and turns, so I would rather not ruin that for them.

As a last (but not least) thought, to my readers - thank you for the support and feedback. Your amazon reviews and direct comments are great and helpful. I'm glad you are enjoying this ride as much as I am. I'll do my damnedest to keep up the quality, because there is nothing worse that being several books into a series and it goes to complete crap.
