We’re in the final stretch.

Before heading out for my mini-vacation, I went over those three chapters of my latest Corrosive Knights novel that I felt needed particular attention.

I had just enough time to go over those three chapters twice, both times reading, revising, then fixing them on the computer.  Quite literally as I was about to go to sleep that final night before leaving, I printed the entire novel out and had it ready for when I returned.

Starting today, I intend to give the entire novel one more/final read-through and revision (draft #12, for those counting).  I anticipate adding one more little bit to the novel’s conclusion but otherwise what I’m hoping to find this go around are nothing more than grammatical errors and a finished book.

Deciding a novel is finished and therefore making it available to readers is, to me, something I take very seriously.  The reason this novel took me two years and to date 12 drafts to complete is because I refuse to put any of my works out there for people to spend their hard earned money on without feeling those works are the very best I could make them.

Luckily, I don’t have any publisher or accountant or investor behind me forcing me to get my latest work out there quick, quick, quick.

For better or ill, when book #6 of the Corrosive Knights series is released, it will be the very best novel I could do at this particular time.

And I think it’s terrific.  I can’t wait to allow you guys out there read it.

Stay tuned!
