Busy writing. The good kind of busy, where I’m actually pounding out words and holding off editing until later.
Spent most of my free time last week focused on Secret of the Dragon’s Teeth – Book 5. The storyline takes place in 1944, the high water mark of WWII. We’re quickly closing in on the climax. Of course, the main historical focus revolves around D-Day at Normandy. I had the research material, for the most part, already gathered, but I’m busy balancing the airborne assault at the Orne River bridges and the beach landings at Omaha. The interesting slant on the plot will be how Thaddeus gets involved. This time, there’s no holding back and a certain red dragon actively participates in the outcome. With certain repercussions, as you can imagine.
I also finally divulge the closely-guarded secret regarding the relationship between dragons and cats, and the reader will learn why it’s so important. My piskie character Idyllioop also plays a vital role, as he knows some critical secrets about Thaddeus and dragons in general. Gavin, Bunty, and Emily, now 16, are faced with some heady decisions of their own.
Oh, don’t forget those nasty Nazis. Himmler knows the end is coming, so makes plans to escape, with an unexpected twist. There are some other surprises in store, all leading towards some pretty fantastic excitement in Book 6. Still a long way to go, but the tale is shaping up quite nicely.
Well, back to it.
