The Writing Moment

I finished writing the third novel in the Ministry of Death series. Began the first one in May. Now three are written:

“A Tribe Called Death”.

“Dead and Alive”.

“A Shadow of Life”.

As soon as I finished the third one, I wrote the opening paragraph to number four. It’s less like writing and more like stepping into a world and reporting what I see.

“A Shadow of Life” is 321 pages in Word, 55,000 words. I began writing it on September 9, 2026.

Book number four is titled, “Down into Death”.

I’m looking forward to finding out what happens. On we go.

The Writing Moment

I finished writing the sequel to “A Tribe Called Death”. The second book is “Alive and Dead”. It’s a smaller novel, just 189 pages, about 40,000 words. Was written fast for me, begun in July, finished a few days ago.

In parallel to writing it, I edited and revised “A Tribe Called Death”, trying to make it worthy of an agent’s interest.

Yesterday, I began writing the third book in the series, “A Shadow of Life”.

Of course, all this novel writing has cut into other writing, like blog posts. That’s also because I work around medical appointments, social commitments, housework, DIY projects, and the minutiae of living like eating, sleeping, bathing, exercising. It’s better to stay busy and focused rather than drifting, though.

On I go, writing like crazy at least one more time.
