Someone lit a fire under me. Obviously, I’m talking figuratively.

I have more news about RealmWalker: New Beginnings, but I’m going to wait a little bit before I share that. In the meantime, I’ve got the motivation to get Anchor (aka Book 2) started.

Well… Restarted.

I had started it a while back, then I had edits to do on New Beginnings. So I set Anchor aside. And then I kind of got stuck and didn’t remember where I was going with it.

Enter the plot bunny.

I call her “Mom.”

She had a “what if…” scenario for me. And I loved it! So I scrapped what I had done on book 2 so  far (it wasn’t a lot) and started over.

And, once I find an appropriate image to go with this post (and my Internet quits cutting out so I can get it posted!), I’m going on that. At the moment, I’m letting Jeffrey (the new sub-main character) talk to me.

Here’s to fires and plot bunnies! May you have as many of you need of one or the other…or both.

RealmWalker Progress Report

I honestly don’t remember what the last bit of news was that I told you all on RealmWalker, so here’s a summary.

  • What had originally started as a stand-alone book (just titled RealmWalker) will now be a series of three books. The first is RealmWalker: New Beginnings. The second will be RealmWalker: Anchor. I don’t have a title for the third one yet.
  • I have started work on RealmWalker: Anchor, but there are substantial changes that will be happening to that storyline.
  • I just finished a round of edits on New Beginnings. I will be sending it back to my editor tomorrow afternoon.

I think that covers it. I’m so excited about this book/series. I love the story and I can’t wait to share it with you!

Let’s Get This Party Started!

  3. I believe everyone is creative.
  4. I write fiction under a pen name (Kat O’Reilly).
