Hello, friends. As predicted, the booster shot has hit me like a small-to-medium tractor, and my whole body hurts and my brain is mush.

I am about halfway through Chapter XXIV of Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea, with a total of 76,832 words. The draft has grown more than I anticipated! The original version of this book, published on this blog between 2019 and 2020, was 77,707 words. With three and a half chapters left, I’m guessing this new version will be well over the expected 80k.
I expect I’ll be back at it tomorrow–my second Covid shot back in April put me down for about 24 hours–and I hope to have this draft done by the end of the week. Then comes final revisions, researching ebook and print-on-demand platforms, formatting, and uploading!
I will keep you posted!
Also, check back tomorrow for the latest chapter of Journey to the Water.
I appreciate you!
