And I mean that literally – house selling, flat buying, divorce, new job, a few minor health worries – lots of fun all round.

What that means is that I am behind with my planned publication schedule for the second book in the Lightfingers series, That which is below. There’s not much else I can say apart from sorry. I did intend to get the first draft finished in the summer, but I started the year with 27 chapters done (out of a likely 75) and I’m approaching November not having added to that overall total.

But I am determined to get it done. And as such I will be posting extracts from the first few chapters on this blog until I do so. Any helpful feedback anyone has to share will be gratefully received.
