Draft 3 update

Hello, all. Been a long, long while since the my last post. And that's because I've been hitting the grindstone hard. I'm already a good chunk of the way into draft 3, and expect to wrap things up for book 1 in the July-September window. I couldn't be more excited. The quality improvement between draft 1 to 2 was substantial, and the fine tuning that's going on between 3 and 4? It's a story I'm absolutely dying to share. 

Since I've been working on this monster, however, some things have changed. Firstly, the length. Fuck me, but it's gotten LONGER. Where draft 1 clocked in at 350k words, draft 3 is looking like it's going to hit 450k. Now, that's just too big to be a single book. To remedy this, and get the story out sooner, with greater polish and a helluva lot more flavor in each third, I'm going to be releasing Definitive Host as a trilogy: Shadow of the Mad Reaper, Skin for a Demon, and A Game of Gray. Each will be about 5-700 brutal pages packed full of horror, magic, scifi and a pinch of psychedelic strangeness. 

Really can't tell y'all how excited I am to be this close to opening this universe to the world. 

That is all for now. I'll be back in a few months to start ramping up for the release of book 1!

​Until then.
