The cover will take longer because I plan to oil paint it, at least some elements, if not all of it.
Theoretically, I could have the novel ready for a Christmas release, but I would feel rushed and would have precious little time for promotion, so I think I'm going for a Feb or March release.

This has definitely been the most difficult book to write so far. Not only was it extremely challenging in terms of its narrative complexity but there were multiple personal challenges to navigate during its completion.

Typos will have to be endlessly weeded out and some continuity errors that resulted from me writing out of order will need to be resolved. Nevertheless, the hardest part is over. Phew! 🥳

Oddly enough, the solution was to go even more fantastic.
I've had a title selected for a long time now but I'm going to keep it to myself for the moment. The wordcount will no doubt grow a bit as I refine everything and it could still easily exceed 180,000.

Just to be clear: AI has never written a single word of any of my books and never will. Everything I write is 100% me and no one else.
I only use AI for broader questions such as these and for asking the odd science question.
