Working Ahead

I’ve been alternating between the final edits on the second book in the Sean Colbeth series, Outsider, and the latest book which, surprisingly, will be the fifth. It’s a bit hard to believe I’ve put as much down on virtual paper as I have, but I suppose in retrospect, it’s one of the few bright spots that 2020 provided. With few places to go this year, I had more time than normal to get deep into my writing.

I’m used to working ahead, actually, and to be honest, having the ability to write so many connected novels back to back has allowed me to keep them connected in ways that would be hard if I’d done only one per year. While I managed to do three in 2020, I’m not sure I can squeeze more than four and still keep them polished. We’ll see if I can for four books is the goal in 2021.
