We do. And there are poems in it! Thank you very much.

[Jim Gamma]

Yeah and I even posted one. Forgot about that.

Part 5 is begun. Also got some maybe-news, my artist friend is trying to find a way to incorporate Hyperlight into an exhibition. Nothing confirmed, may never happen, but we'll see!

^That would be awesome! What exactly does he/she have in mind?

That would be great. It would make for some nice publicity if there were books for people to buy.

[Jim Gamma]

Some kind of reading hopefully, not sure what format it will take. Still in early idea percolation right now.

[RJDiogenes]

Perhaps short plays derived from the characters.

I gave copies of the Hyperlight saga to a friend a few weeks back. Since last week, she has read (or actually, as she's blind, listened to high-speed auto-generated audio of) the first two books. I can't keep up with that speed, and I'm a fast reader!

But anyway, Book 12 is nearly drafted. I have four chapters I think left in Part 5 - had to add one tonight and switch some stuff around, so it's gone a little slower than I anticipated. Chapter 5 is action-heavy, and features a great deal of self-knowledge from some of the characters involved. (That's already a massive spoiler, so I shall say no more.)

I have tomorrow off work, so I'll be doing at least one, hopefully two, chapters, then another on Saturday and the finale Sunday. On Monday I am again off work, so I'll do some editing.

That's pretty much the size of it.

That's cool. Any feedback yet (no pun intended)?

An even dozen. Quite an epic.

She's enjoying it very much!

I've done 2 chapters today, so now we have two remaining:
* Debriefing
* Return to Earth for rest and resupply

I'm going to work on the cover after dinner.

EDIT: Cover is here.

[RJDiogenes]

^^ That's really nice. Very eye catching.

That's great.

Love the spiral galaxy, Jim. That's a heroically transformative image

[Jim Gamma]

One chapter left. There's a new ship that needs delivery to Earth for its first captain to take over... I wonder who it will be?

[Jim Gamma]

Final chapter drafted. Book stands at 112,354 words. I need to do edits, next, including setting up things like the dramatis personae and species list.

[Jim Gamma]

Edited the first ten chapters.
