Last week I managed 11K+ alternating between writing, research and the chores… and had a taste of what it will be like when I won’t have to go to work every morning. Then this week I went back to the office, and we just lost a beloved colleague (now retired), whom we called Sharon Stone’s Twin because they were born on the same day/month/year. I had lost track of him through the years, but I still remember when we went to watch him at the theater (he was also an actor), and even that I wanted to shoot a short movie with him while I was attempting the conquest of Hollywood (almost 20 years ago now – where did time go?).
Anyhow, it’s April, and of course there’s a new title out! 🙂 Daywalker was the reason for all my travels last year – or most of them. It starts in Romania, which I visited first, then goes through Budapest and Vienna, which I visited second, then to Italy and France, which I already know, so I didn’t have to visit them. I asked my Hungarian friend to check the Budapest part, and she gave wonderful advice.
Then I went to Madrid, but I needed that for another story (it’s a novella) about a secondary character in Daywalker, and soon I’ll be heading back to France to write another story about another secondary character, so you can have a wider view of these European vampire hunters’ wanderings. Both stories will come out after the summer, and then I might make a box set. It will be a very-mini-series, though!
Now I shall go back to my sci-fi, at least until the end of the month… have a great week!
