Writing Wild with Verna McKinnon

Hello Familiar Friends, I have finished a new novel, which is a different novel series from Familiar's Tale, but still exciting with strong female heroes that do not rely on boyfriends for their existence in the tale.  I am now researching agents to submit to.  A daunting task indeed.  Wish me good fortune.  I now understand why so many writers drink.  The writing part is the fun and easy portion of this brutal game of novels. Also, I have decided to make the first Familiar's Tale series a trilogy (was 4 books) which I think will work much better for the story.   I am stalking my publisher to get Tree of Bones released by September.   Wish me luck.  I have another trilogy planned for my wonderful Familiar's Tale characters, but I need to get the first trilogy off the ground. I am also working on another potential trilogy,"Twilight of the Unicorn."   It will not sparkle, I assure you.  There will be darkness, MAGIC and damaged heroes.  More to come.  NO

Greetings! It has been awhile, but I have been busy.  I know I vanished from sight, but writing can be like a possession.  And it was.  But I was genuinely busy-writing 96,000 words in 3 months busy.  But the novel I am working on is merely 1 chapter away from completion.  ONE CHAPTER!  Then the book is done.  I do massive amounts of edits over each chapter before going on to next, so what I have will be pretty solid with just some tightening and spruce up needed here and there.  Am I hopped up on caffeine and buggy-eyed?  Yes, but I'm still cute so it works for me. As for my 2nd novel in my Familiar's Tale book series, Tree of Bones ,  (which was written in 2008) my publisher Joe at Aberrant Dreams has assured me that it will be out by September 2014.    We have a wonderful new artist for  the book cover.  I look forward to the release with more anticipation than you realize.   If Tree of Bones is finally released-if it does finally happen, this will be my reaction.
