Owing to a financial drought I have made little progress in the way on contacting further literary agents. Instead I have been focusing my efforts of two texts, the sequel to Walls of Shadow, known as Shadow's Lost Soul and a book as yet to be titled. The former is currently running at 145,000 words with the intention of reaching a minimum of 170,000. The latter is only 15,000 words and the bare bones are being laid out and the characters giving sustenance, this book is to be relatively short at 150,000 words.
In addition to these pieces I am planning the third and final installment of the Shadow series. The third and final story will be the most complex in terms of character development but it is my intention to draw together the first two novels in a mighty climax and throw in a handful of devastating twists.
If anyone should like to read either Walls of Shadow or the draft Shadow's Lost Soul. Please drop me a line and I'll see what I can do.
I am fortnight I shall be sending more samples to agents, so fingers crossed! Finally, the next installment of How to Write Fantasy Fiction will shortly be added. Until then, kindest regards.

Hey John, it's Pete.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say that I'd be interested in having a look over Shadow's lost soul and making some comments if you're interested.
I'm now happily living in American and enjoying the life here. Still working on my steampunk piece and I can send you the new chapters if you like. I've got to the romantic stage so I'm having some challenges sorting that all out.
All the best anyway and good to find this blog.
