Follow the Van

Good morning! This is a very quick update to let you know I’ve not forgotten about you, and the next Delamere story will be along in a few weeks. I am currently around 60,000 words into ‘Follow the Van’, and am heading towards my main character’s personal climax. Once that’s happened, he’ll be free to think clearly and head into the action climax when the mystery will finally come together and be solved.

Meanwhile, here on our Greek island, the winter has continued to be mostly reasonable, in that it’s not been freezing cold. In the past we’ve had temperatures down to freezing, but this year, only a couple of days of single figures (so far). This means, on days such as yesterday, it’s a pleasure to go for a walk in the morning and while doing so, set in my head the next piece of action or the next chapter. Today’s chapter will be the second half of yesterday’s wandering and wondering. I talk to myself as I walk, talk internally that is, and tell myself the story as if I was reading it. When I get back from the walk, I jot down the outline of what I’ve just dreamt up, and hope I remember the detail when I come to type it all up.

I need to start thinking of a cover soon, and as usual, am at a loss. I have Andjela working on some new banners for this website, so you may see some changes there, and I am looking at more Book Funnel promos to join in with because they are producing sales results, for which I am very grateful because I’ve not got much paid work in at the moment. And that’s my update, so back to the typowriter and chapter seventeen…
