I apologise to anyone who is eagerly anticipating the conclusion to the series, but I want the best possible ending & I’m sure you won’t be let down when you read it

Theo Newton novel 3 is progressing.
Not going to promise anything but I’m hoping it will be finished before the end of the year.

How is book three coming? I hear a couple of people ask.
After a long period of lack of motivation together with no inspiration; perhaps that’s what writer block is.
I have finally got back in front of the keyboard and have typed out a few thousand words.

From book 2 Deception
A scene where Theo reads text on a computer screen
‘I am everywhere. I am in this room, and I am on your phone. I am in your satellite feed and the air you breathe. I am nowhere and everywhere. I am the NEXIL. Submission is survival, Defiance is extinction.’

I wish I could take a week off, go hide away with my laptop, internet and some whisky and crack on writing book three.
Too many chores and distractions here.
I’ve written very little in the past few weeks.

It occurred to me as I write the final book in my trilogy, that I may have created the most powerful, most sinister, most feared villain (& weapon) in Sci-Fi, book two gives a glimpse at what is to come.

I recently turned 49. Today I collected my first ever pair of prescription glasses. They are a ‘relatively’ mild strength for reading, but time is starting to catch up with me.
Tomorrow I’m going to go shopping for some comfy slippers.

I really give up trying to promote my book. No one wants to know.
I post on social and it’s a big no no.
I try my best but am constantly targeted by trolls.
I can’t afford to advertise, but word of mouth doesn’t work.
Book shops don’t want to know because of the ‘zon & libraries are the same.
