Hi, everyone.

This week I have continued with the Paper Edit of the fourth book in the Midgard Born Series, which I can now reveal is called Ruled by Choices. I have ended up adding quite a lot of extra text, by hand at the moment as it’s a paper edit, which means I’m only about halfway through the manuscript. I will continue with this over the coming week.

Also, over the weekend, I did a Kindle read-through edit of Malice and Madness. This has added another 1.5K words, so it is now officially a novella. There won’t be many more words added, if any. It’s resting during the week again while I continue with Ruled by Choices. I might do a read-out-loud edit next weekend, if things are going well. If I do, I hope to then put it up for pre-order, probably for a release date in June.

This week I have completed reading the following books:

• The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
• Victoria’s Victorian Victory by Abigail Shepherd
• The Hatter’s Wife by Anna B Madrise
• The Manningtree Account by Becky Wright

Hope to see you all again next week (which I’ve just realised is another Bank Holiday, so may not get that read-out-loud done, after all).
