Well, it finally happened. I sent my first novel to an editor. It will be a couple months before I see the results, then a few more while I fix the final manuscript, add front matter, cover, copyright, etc. Then it will show up on amazon.
As it stands now it is 68,000 words. That’s around 220 pages depending on the book size and margins. It’s a little bit of a strange style with talking animals, magic, and some ninja style combat. I just wanted something fun, lighthearted, and challenging to write for my first attempt. I don’t expect it to be any amazing smash-hit debut, but I’m hopeful that it will be enjoyable for others. It was fun to write.
Now I’m starting on another book. This one is science fiction. Space and spaceships. I won’t say any more yet 🙂
