The Cross of Fire - First Draft

Draft 1 of Cross of Fire is completed. When you begin to carefully analyze such things as character development, timing, cadence, and continuity often some important truths appear - like the one that says its time to rethink the whole thing! This happenned with this book.

What I realized is that the three stories I have written and planned are really a series - The Juno Letters (book 1), Ariele (book 3), and this one... Cross of Fire. Why you ask? - you have to read it to find out.

I made a minor change in The Juno Letters to set up its Cross of Fire context, but it is one that no one will notice who already read the book. When all three books are completed, they will be republished as a series.

I have redesigned the prerelease cover for Ariele and have posted the prerelease cover for Cross of Fire. When the final draft is completed I will commission the cover artwork from my designer.
