I passed the 50,000 word mark on my newest novel, Last Flight of the Acheron today. I probably have about 20,000 words to go, so it should be ready to go before the end of the month, barring interference from Hurricane Irma, which is bearing down on my state currently. I live in central Florida, about halfway between Tampa and Orlando, and there’s the very real possibility that the storm could pass right over my town. If that happens, I expect the power to be out for a few days, minimum, even if my house isn’t damaged.
