"Stand" at 75,000 Words--Still Looking Good for January

Yesterday, we crossed the 75,000 word mark on For Honor We Stand, the sequel to To Honor You Call Us.  We are making rapid progress now--things are going a lot faster now that we have worked through some of the more difficult sections of the book.  Things still look good for a release around January 21.  It is also looking as though this book will come out a little longer than the first one, although we could be mistaken about that.  After all, this is only our second novel. 

We will keep you apprised of how we are progressing and will update you in this space, especially as we get the manuscript finished and get to a point where we can more accurately predict the release date.

Be aware that our philosophy about such things is that books are released when they are ready.  We don't keep them on the shelf to wait for some arbitrary period of time to lapse between books (we know some authors produce one book a year no matter how fast they write them) or to reach an arbitrary date (as in when a book is slated for "Summer release" because it is a good "beach book.").  So, as soon as there is a book to be published, we will publish the book.  We won't make our readers wait.

Now, back to Max and Bram, who are dealing with a complex issue involving the still-troubled crew of the USS Cumberland . . . .
