The Rewrite Begins
This past week I’ve spent going over the rough draft of All That Death, the sequel to After the Service. I originally finished the draft back in June, but I’ve discovered that I really need to put a draft aside for a while, in order to get proper perspective on it.
That said, I hope I do have proper perspective on this one, because I really enjoyed it. It looks to me like All That Death is a better book than the just drafted Degrees of Murder, and that it will require less revision. We’ll see–I’ll be workshopping the book with various friends & associates over the next month. The plan is to have most of the revisions done by the end of the month, and then to have it published & available for purchase sometime this spring.
I’m going to post the first scene below the fold–an innocent seeming scene, with a mere hint of danger lurking beneath the surface. Keep in mind that this is still a draft, so nothing here is necessarily as good as it should be. Also, there are some spoilers for After the Service–nothing that would give too much away, but it wouldn’t hurt to go purchase that book before you read the excerpt! »» The Rewrite Begins
