While I sit on my hands and wait for the rejection letters to roll in, I need to keep my head and hands busy. I started the outline for the Emersus Project book three ages ago. And now I'm making my first crack at a draft. I might even do it during NaNoWriMo this November.
As I ramp up to the writing I'm doing some drawings of the gang when we pick up with them in Book 3.
Gemmy has turned 16 and starting his last year of school with Sem, who is a year older. She's kept her long golden locks from the end of book 2. But, true to herself, she's died a streak of her hair bright pink. And, sticking with function over form, has cut a fringe in the front so it doesn't get in the way of her playing sparrein.
Mhteli is back and as lethal as ever. He's embracing his Rhe'zan side and has let the top of his hair grow long with close cut sides. It adds to him looking every bit as ferocious as he is.
I'm so happy to see these guys again and I feel like I'm catching up with old friends as their faces come into view.
This October I'm going to reread and edit books one and two into a master version. I've learned so much since writing that first novel and I want to go back and give it the benefit of my experience. So, when book 3 comes out, I want to publish a remastered version of 1 & 2 with new illustrations for the first.
Whoop! So, what this space folks! More drawings of Gemmy and crew coming your way. And keep your flippers crossed for The Kelpie's Hearts as it wings its way to agents!
Hope you enjoy!
