Progress report

I've got over 50k words down in the first draft of book 4 of Wheel of Fire.  Around 52k, I think.

This one is going to need some work.  I've been giving a lot of thought to what sort of book I want this one to be, and I'm not sure my outline quite hits those beats, so I might have to scrap some of the outline.  The good news is that I'm getting a more crystallized idea of what the book should be, so hopefully the writing will be easier as I near the end.

Cover is done, and I've decided on a title, so those things are out of the way.  Also, I've been working on the book 5 cover, and it might be done, too.

I've been very slowly making some notes for a new trilogy.  Once Wheel of Fire is done, I'd like to hit the ground running with the next series.

Amazon seems to be phasing out the also-boughts, and I've seen a decline in the rate of free downloads of Clouds of Venus as a result.  It sucks, but there's nothing I can do about it short of trying to get Amazon's CPC ads to work for me, and that's just not something I've been interested in investing the time and money in.  I'll probably have to do it anyway, but I'm really not looking forward to it.

Four months after the Featured Deal, I'm still picking up new followers and recommendations of Clouds of Venus on Bookbub.  Feels good.  Thanks, Bookbub members, and long live Free Space!  :D
