Progress Update on Bound in Blood

To those who are wondering, I am making amazing progress with Bound in Blood. Writing goes a lot faster, now that the pawns are mostly in play. Like chess, it takes a long time to set up the pieces, but in the mid to endgame all the violence happens at once. The only thing that is holding me back, is that I keep adding new chapters, and some characters just refuse to die. At the moment I can't really tell whether I have grown attached to them, or whether killing them off at that exact time just isn't in the stars for them. The first book had about 78k words, the second 103k, and the third is now squarely aimed at 130k or above. At the current progress, a release in May seems likely, but time will tell.
