World War 1990: The Final Storm

So with the proofers proofing ANZACs we've cracked open World War 1990: The Final Storm.

Last fall we got the MS as ready as we could and we have not looked at the MS in a year .This certainly gives one a fresh perspective.

Our first thought is it was a mistake to release Castro's Folly and ANZACs before The Final Storm. But what's done is done.

Second, and more importantly, so far we are quite pleased with what we see. The text is clean, or as clean as we can make it...

[Which is not very clean, you Yank tosser-Ed]

The paras flow, the segways work.

And C, we think we're a cut or two away from greatness.

That is a few scenes, certainly in the beginning, have got to go.

So far, so good.

World War 1990: The Final Storm

This thing is 80,000 words and threatening to go to 90,00. For some perspective, the other volumes are 60,000-65,000.

Look for serious action in Europe, some major naval battles, surprise players throwing in and lots of political intrigue.

I still expect to have the rough finished by the end of the month. Then comes the sit period, followed by editing, first on my part, then by the editor. Then proofing, and more proofing.

Hopefully January 2017, just in time for Mr. Trump's inauguration.
