Stradler's Game reached the stage of the first complete draft last night; so we are definitely on track for a end-of-month publication as long as all goes well with the editing. The stories are getting longer and longer, becoming more intricate and slower to write. Now I understand why Chambers only writes the Zac series; basically because it demands so much concentration; especially when you're a thousand pages into a series as he is with Zac right now.
The next story, working title is something like The Helios Protocol (Chambers controls these things so I'm sneaking a peek at his notepad), is kind of a wrap up of the story so far; bringing it full circle so to speak with, for example, the resolution of who was behind the death of Argos and Martin Saverne ... a wrap up not least because at some point Fenchurch and Cowley need to go to Bristol and do their day job.
The Inspector Fenchurch Mysteries will embrace, we hope, a wider range of 'detective/mystery/international crime/spy' possibilities. Intriguingly, both Chambers and I have read the biography of Aleister Crowley and when the template for a character in The Helios Protocol was required, we both cited Aleister Crowley ... spooky.
Apparently, I can't go home yet ... not until the Tour de France has passed by the house (it passed through my home village of Servance yesterday and I wasn't there to see it).
Have a great day wherever you are!
Love Alp and Chambers
