Friends, fans and anyone on the blogosphere, I wanted to give you an update as to how The Believers: Breeders 2 is doing. The good news is I have worked on it every day since March and it is shaping up to be something I am really proud of. I admit there were times when self-doubt, that ugly ol' monster, came knocking. Writing a sequel is hard by any measure and I had many moments where I fretted that book 2 would disappoint. But, I'm happy to say I don't think readers will be disappointed with this installment. Feedback from beta readers is positive and I'm feeling good about the direction in which the book is going. I might go as far as to say that it is nearly ready.
Today, September 30th, I will send my worked-over and polished-up draft to a fabulous editor, Ms. Lindsey Alexander, who was recommended to me by author A.G. Henley of The Scourge. If you haven't seen A.G.'s sequel, you should pick it up. She's sold a ton of books which only solidifies my belief that Lindsey is going to rock the socks off my draft. Once she is finished with her edit and gets it back to me, I have to make changes. Then I need to get the book out to my copy editor for all those tweaks that make the book shine. Then it will be ready for the world.
My timeline is an end of November release, just in time for Christmas and cozy by-the-fire reading. I know you've been waiting patiently, but I promise it'll all be worth it. Here's the teaser to get you by.
They’ve escaped the Breeders, yet their journey has just begun.
On the road back home, Clay, Riley and her family are captured by a savage group of physically huge, but mutated men. Their destination: the Citadel run by the seemingly psychic religious prophet, the Messiah. Somehow he knows their secrets. He wants them to join his group of believers, but only if they’ll drink the baptismal water and swear allegiance.
But, there’s something wrong with the water. Something wrong with the people. If they can’t figure out what, they’ll become one of them and become a believer forever.
