The last book in the Mercy's Children series releases today!

 


I can hardly believe I made it to THE END! It took three years to finish Tristam's Heart, the last of Mercy's Children. With all of last year's crazy heart issues, it didn't seem likely to happen. All I can say is, the title is VERY appropriate, much more than I anticipated!! Lots of unexpected happenings, and several VERY unexpected new characters that are so interesting, it almost makes me wish I was planning a third series. But, no. Writing such a long series is very stressful, trying to keep all the storylines coherent and consistent. I may write some shorter pieces about these characters (short stories or novellas) but not another series. I have a new task ahead of me, which I will have to elaborate upon in a future post.

So please rejoice with me that I was able to complete this Herculean project: 10 years, 10 epic novels to tell one epic story with about 1.5 million words!

Hopefully, I can write shorter books going forward....
