First Four Chapters to Illuminatus ready for my editors

Click to Enlarge
I was planning on writing a chapter a day on the second book to The Girl in the Leather Jacket series, but it's been kind of slow going which translates into: that ambitious endeavor is pretty much scrapped. However, I am writing on it, focused on getting it done although life does tend to get in the way.

The good news is, I've finished the first four chapters to Illuminatus and I'll be sending them to my editors today. I don't know how long it will take before I get them back with their suggestions and/or corrections because my editors have lives, too, and they're doing this just to help me out, but I'll hopefully have another four to send to them by that time since the fifth chapter is pretty much done.

As a heads up . . . the story is coming around well. This second book to the four-book series will focus on Lola's newly minted coven, Illuminatus, and of course there'll be some growing pains before it can finally come into its own. Lola is also discovering what it's like to fall in love and discovering that she's developed feelings for not one but two guys who are both vying for her. There's also a traitor in their midst prompting the sudden need to initiate a new member to complete the six members, and Andy is the chosen one. This, of course, isn't going to go over well with the member that's being retired!
