Moving Forward

I've begun work on Part 4 of YEAR OF THE KING, but it's been slow going due to the Holidays (kids off from school), illnesses (both my son and I were struck with the flu--meaning kids home again), and snow (over a foot meant no school again!). So I decided to start researching finding an agent and crafting a query letter. I've targeted a few and have begun work on that, but my "letter" has grown to an all-out marketing piece which will require more time, but will be worth it (I think and hope) in the end. We shall see.

Also, I'm wondering if I can finish YOTK in just 2 parts and not 3....  Hmmmmm.
