Progress updates

Time for a end of the week (and month!) progress update.

Currently I am 38,000 words into SHIELD OF DARKNESS, 20,000 words into HALF-ORC PALADIN, and also 6,000 words into GHOST IN THE TOMBS.

I should note that this only puts me on Chapter 7 of 24 SHIELD OF DARKNESS. (The total number of chapters is probably going to increase in the final draft as I split up some of the longer ones.) I had hoped to have that out in June, but I strongly suspect that SHIELD OF DARKNESS is going to slip to mid-July. I’ve got a lot of home repair and multi-day commitments in June, so July is looking more likely for the book.

In audiobook news, recording for the short story anthology TALES OF THE SHIELD KNIGHT (as excellently narrated by Brad Wills) is finished, and if all goes well that should be coming along in June.
