Weeks, nay months (well two and bit) of using Word’s Review + Read Aloud to run down those typos and to realise (yet again) the wonderful description or speech when read, in a flat monotone just does not make any sense at all. Then the was the question of Continuity which as ‘Skirmishers‘ is the middle volume flows in both directions { Actually this is quite a neat bit of irony as the Flow or Perception of Time is one of the themes of the Trilogy }. Finally there is always that portion which has the ‘Nah. That does not work at all. What was I thinking of? Dismantle with extreme prejudice’ reaction.
Of course a writer can only get away with this if they are going Indy and publishing via Kindle, and be honest have not had a large amount of sales. There is a freedom there, but I wouldn’t recommend to all other writers. And no there is no ‘romance’ in being that ‘free’; it’s just a ‘thing’ . Please chose your own path.
It is fun though to be able to tinker, tweak and tear some novel which ‘looked’ great a while ago, but has not stood the full test of time. You could view this process as one aspect of Life where you do get the chance to go back and do things differently.
That aside; Vol II is now ready to be re-launched into the Amazon-Verse; on Monday 24th May 2021; of course will be free for the first seven days, so anyone who has the early edition can gain recompense.
And thence onwards to finally work upon the release of Vol III ( 1st draft originally completed 11th October 2020)
Daughters of Circumstances. Arbiters of Consequences
With working covers, while awaiting the professional touch (which I’m guessing will be nothing like- these were me doodling around with Canva https://www.canva.com )

Congrats! I’ll be sure and pick up the new edition. I’m looking forward to it. This is on my TBR list. (Which keeps getting longer, while my reading time seems to keep getting shorter…)
I like your drafts for the cover of Vol. III, too!

Thanks. Please get it for free; seeing as how you purchased what is now a flawed version ( I can’t decide whether Kubrick or Coppola is my influence here🤔) .
I have a list like that, which is why I tend to audio books, so two things can be done at once, and they take my mind off whatever the chore is!
Whether the covers make it, depends on ‘ifs’
Thanks again for your encouragement and support.

I like those cover ideas too, Roger. Canva is useful that way; one can create something that has the general idea and send it to a designer. Better than trying to describe the mood, etc. in words.

That never occurred to me. Thanks Audrey.
Matt, the guy who created the cover for Skirmishers, so impressed me that I simply had to do a re-write to take into match the images on the cover.
Though since then the call for his work has taken off and it is difficult for him to find time to fit my project in; which is understandable .
I might just ‘pantser’ the cover…Y’know how it goes.
