Honestly, I never would have thought I'd admit a thing like this out loud as it's so very egocentric sounding, but last night I was up late absolutely riveted by my own story, Bandita Book II, set for release in (early) 2016. I was laughing and just otherwise being generally amused at the antics, but of course I've got the visuals and audio down correctly--readers will have to use their own imaginations to translate (hopefully I did my job properly and they'll get it).
There are external reasons why I favor this book as well, don't get me wrong, so it's not just the dialogue and description. And also, don't get me wrong about the first one, I do enjoy that. It's just the first one being so long (cut down to 125,000+ words from 140,000) was more of an effort I had to "get out of the way" in that I had some setting up to do. This book, topping out at just 85,000+ words, is a bit more light and airy. While the history is still there, of course, it focuses a lot more on Billy and Lucy's relationship, and a quite a bit of interesting scenarios.
So...I'm either quite the writer, or I'm my own number one fan...
