Book two of The Deep System is complete - the first draft, at least. It has taken 12 months and 3 weeks and is 161,222 words.
It feels pretty good to have finished the second in the series because that means it 'is' a series now and I genuinely think this book is better than the first one. I had so much fun writing some of the scenes, others I'm just really proud of for how I handled characters or emotional weight.
I will have lots of editing to do, no doubt but the first draft is so important - it's done, there's a finished story that you can read.
Of course, I need book one to be released before this can see the light of day. 🤷♂️ All in good time. 😉
