And done.
118,496 words.
I'm sending the completed book to the beta readers to give it a once over and see if anything doesn't fit.
After and during that i'll be going over the material on a "second pass." For me this entails rewriting anything that doesn't make sense on a second read through.
A good example of this is originally in book 1 there was an extended scene in the alley with Katarina and Runner hiding from the tracker.
It didn't fit very well with the rest of the book so it was deleted as a whole.
Once we're done with the second pass this'll be sent off to the editor while the artist builds the cover.
Then it'll go to amazon.
This one went faster than the first book. Primarily because the first book was a lot of me hand wringing and being nervous if people would even like it.
Supportive reviews are the best thing in the world for a writer I've come to realize.
Right, then.
See ya'll soon. :)

Otherlife Nightmares: April update
First, the actual update. We're now at the 60,000 word mark. We had some interruptions during March that gave us a hiccup or two. At this rate we'll need to start picking up beta readers for when we finish.
Next, in getting an edited version of the book I felt justified in having an audiobook made. The narrator will begin work on it this month.
I also felt justified in going through createspace to set up a paper back. The cover for it is below and it's going through the final stages of Createspace to show up on amazon.

That second edition
Recently I've struck a deal with an editor to go through Book 1 and clean it up. While admittedly most of those who were interested have already read the book, it felt...rude...to leave the book in the state it was in.
While this won't be completed immediately, I'm hopeful to have a second edition of Otherlife Dreams out in April. This of course will simply be an updated version of the original, which means Amazon should automatically push the newer version to all current owners.

Otherlife Nightmares: Update
Currently sitting at 25,000 words for the second book. For reference, the first book was 90,000 words.
Editing has started up as well. We're moving along a lot faster than I had previously hoped.
Well on track for a summer release.
