A Quick Writing Update

Warlock 2 is coming along nicely. It's going to need another round of editing, though -- just editing, not the edit-and-revise cycle I've been going through. When it went to editing, it was 120,000 words (about 20k less than Book 1). Now it's 140,000 words and I still have several scenes to add. I got a couple what-abouts from my editor (wife) on things that I'd either not thought about or put in for color and wasn't going to follow up on. But if she's expecting resolution on them, then other readers will, so you get more words.

Warlock 3 is at 30,000 words and I'd expect it to wind up being over 100,000 or more at completion, so 1/3 or less done.

Can't wait. Found book 1, saw the pre-order for 2 and realized if I joined I could read 2 earlier lol. Looking forward to 3 and seeing more of their relationships develop. Felicity and Morgan are hilarious to watch develop as he keeps fighting against it.

Here ignoring the previews not so patiently waiting for early release

I really hope noah make some big dramatic statements taking the Blackwood name

It would be nice if there was a table of contents for the new scenes (or major rewrites of scenes) from the preview to final for us lazy readers that don't want to re-read the whole book. :-)

Mark Hatch

I was wondering the exact same thing. How does your editing work in this case?

Jason Sanders

Glad to hear things are progressing nicely. Just picked up the audio version of the first book. Looking forward to giving it a listen after I finish my current book. Gets confusing if I stop part way through. Keep up the great work!

Warlock 1 audiobook is live!

Out of curiosity, are any of these added scenes going into chapters you’ve already released? As in am I missing out on new content by only starting reading where the previous preview left off?

I wonder how you'll be doing the college years. Like will you do a dungeon diving like Bruce did where he decided the first year into 4 books, and the second year etc. Thinking about it, we got our first coven member in book 1, and potentially our second/maybe third in book 2? So I can see dedication to members for each book, but then it's like how will that correspond with a 4 year college, and then I wonder what overaching villain are we facing. Anyway I love updates like this, it gets me excited for more

Dre

Is this planned as a finite series or you’ve got story for a lot more and you’ll see how it goes?

Michael Pokorny

Very nice 👍🏽 now drop chapter 37. I need to know 😵‍💫

Juan Magallon

Oh yes, the love spreadsheet report! We all want to see a geek fest on quantifying the effect of love on mana generation. Yay editor! 🤣

Sounds like you better go get your typewriter and fix those loose ends or else
