I have gotten so much writing done in the past couple of weeks. A few more chapters and my fourth book is ready for the last editing round and to be shipped to my editor. Writing this book took longer than I expected. I planned to publish it sooner, but my personal life got in the way. But I have a lot stronger book in my hands now because of all the pain and struggles I had to go through. I got to write about the personal in a way that is relatable not just for me but everyone because we all exist here and have to survive life. Yet, I let the book’s story do all the speaking without forcing in pits that didn’t fit there. It was surprisingly easy as Necropolis is all about death and dying and making a business out of it.

Don’t get me wrong. The book is definitely still about Necropolis and Petula. It’s also about undeads, politics, friendship, and leadership. It’s about Petula having to find a way to do the right thing for the many rather than the few. But how can one know what is the right thing to do when the future is unclear, and no one can agree about the good or about how to make a society to work? No, Petula doesn’t get off that easily. She has her hands full with the Necromantic Council, who isn’t that keen on what she is doing and is willing to assassinate her for being annoying. No one likes it when the fabric of the society has to be altered. Then there is the fact that Otis Thurston and his wondrous machine are making Petula have the worst headache of her life. Maybe she should just off the necromancer and be done with it? Especially as it seems the whole world wants to obtain Otis for themselves, including the Church of Kraken.

I couldn’t help myself. I wrote into the book some of the global issues we face now. Mostly about leadership, freedom of thought, writing about the truth, and should running a state be about the will of the few or the many. But I also wrote about the loss of a loved one and the questions it brings about the great beyond and what a good life is composed of. I would love to have answers for all those, but I’m afraid all I can offer is just pondering as truth is a funny thing and meaning is ever so shifting.

I hope I can get to book soon into your hands. That’s my plan.

Thank you for reading, have a lovely day ❤
