I am currently finishing up Rag & Muffin, having received the initial comments from my editor. This is in a sense my “first novel,” which is why it has taken longer, and been more painful, to complete than Jake and the Dynamo was.
Even my editor found this project somewhat painful. As she told me when she sent her initial edits, the story is “unrelentingly dark,” though she also stated that “the mood and the background and the eeriness and the culture are all supremely well done.”
I can’t describe openly on the internet all the difficulty I went through to produce this manuscript, but I can say that it was a long, hard road, and I am glad to be nearly done with it.
I can’t give a release date for this, but I expect my final edits and submission to be done probably by the end of the month.
