Dive into this week’s Author Diary as I tackle a variety of writing projects, from editing a sequel to revisiting a prequel, and even venturing into festive zombie territory!

📝 Editing "Forged in Blood":

I'm deep into the editing process for "Forged in Blood," the second book in the Guild of Assassins series. It's always a detailed task to refine the narrative, enhance character development, and ensure the plot twists keep readers on the edge of their seats. This stage is crucial for bringing the polished version of the story to life.

📚 Revisiting "Scoundrels":

After a year, I've returned to "Scoundrels," a prequel to the Dawn of Assassins series. Diving back into this story is like reconnecting with an old friend and rediscovering their secrets. It's fascinating to explore the backstory that sets the stage for the events and dynamics in the main series.

🎅 Writing "Santa Versus Zombies":

In a lighter, more whimsical vein, I penned a short story titled "Santa Versus Zombies." This festive, fun piece provided a great creative outlet, blending the cheer of the holiday season with the thrill of a zombie apocalypse. It was a delightful project that offered a humorous break from my more intense writing.

🚶‍♂️ Completing "Niamh’s Journey":

I also wrapped up "Niamh's Journey," a side story in the Punks Versus Zombies series. Finishing this narrative provided closure for a thread that added depth and perspective to the main storyline.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on handling multiple projects, or your experiences with returning to a story after a long break.
