GHOST IN THE TOMBS underway!

I am pleased to report that GHOST IN THE TOMBS, the third book of the GHOST ARMOR series, is now underway!

Actually, it’s been underway for some time now. I started scratching away at it back in May.

However, enough scratches over long enough of a time span really add up, because I’m now 61,000 words into it, and hoping to have the book out in October if all goes well.

It’s been interesting to write because I’m using a plot device and a specific situation that I’ve never before used in one of my books.

More to come! For now, let’s have a brief preview excerpt in which Caina speaks with her half-sister Calvia Scorneus:

###

“Kylon and Kalliope can’t stand each other. Kalliope only came to ask for our help because she was desperate and afraid for the life of her children. Kylon was only willing to help her because of the children.”

“And I very strongly suspect,” said Calvia, “that without your presence, they would be at each other’s throats.”

“Yes,” said Caina.

“And now you’re returning to New Kyre, where Kylon will be High Seat of House Kardamnos. I expect that means you will be the Consort of House Kardamnos and Kalliope will be the…mmm, Matron. The titles are usually combined but have been split in the past,” said Calvia. She grinned, showing a lot of white teeth. “By the Divine, little sister. And here I thought I had fascinating problems to navigate. Yours will be much more complex.”

“Which is why I am asking for your help,” said Caina.

“Oh, you’ll have it,” said Calvia. “Keeping your husband as High Seat of House Kardamnos and hunting down the Cult of Rhadamathar will be a stimulating challenge…”
