I beg your pardon for being nearly a month late with the next chapter of In the Darkness Falling but work exploded on me and I have had little time to get it ready for those of you waiting so very patiently. It is written, I just haven't had time to read through it one final time. I will endeavor to do so this weekend so look back tomorrow or Sunday for that. And it follows that since I was so late with this month's chapter, next month's will also likely be late. I have had little to no time to write of late and have just been fried mentally. I am hoping by mid-month things will get better and I will get back on top of things, writing-wise.

As the entry title says, Chapter 6 of In the Darkness Falling has been submitted for your reading pleasure. Sorry it is a bit late but I had family in town and so I didn't really have time to edit and post it until today. The writing for this story is about half completed at this point, at least I hope. I was projecting this story to be about 15 or so chapters long and I am well into Chapter 8. It is getting hard to fight off the urgings of my muse as she keeps hitting me with ideas for the next book in this series. I have already written the Prologue for the next Dark Wars book that I have tentatively titled A Phoenix in the Shadows. I have also been fighting off the urge to start writing ItDF backwards as ideas for how to end the book keep popping into my head. The Epilogue for ItDF is already written and I know what the last chapter or two is going to look like but I don't want to start writing them or I will find myself somewhere I did not plan on going with this story. There are a few more chapters along the road the story is traveling now and then we will have a time jump of a few of months leading up to the grand finale.

I have also been fighting the urge to write another Alice/Alexa short story, probably having to do with the Weretiger incident that Edgar was a part of that was already mentioned and will be mentioned again shortly. I will eventually write that one down, but I really want to wrap up ItDF first.

As far as Anomaly of the Fates is concerned, I have the next chapter written down but I have not had the opportunity to get it in the computer yet. Sorry about that for those of you waiting patiently on that one. Future Distorted will also probably be a while before anything new on that story gets done. Again, my apologies to those waiting on that one, too.

I will leave things there for now. Chapter 6 of In the Darkness Falling will be up later tonight or tomorrow. Enjoy and let me know what you think.

It is a bit later than I thought when I posted to my Facebook page a few days ago, but Chapter Four of In the Darkness Falling has been submitted. This is a long one and took longer than I thought to edit it plus I had workmen tearing out central air systems at my house the last few days so quiet time with the computer was non-existent. Also, my brain tends not to work as well when being steamed in the Georgia heat without AC to help out with that. All of that being said, you should be able to get your eyes on Chapter Four some time tomorrow.

As for other things, I have been making slow progress on other stuff I have been working on but nothing that is ready to post, unfortunately. So enjoy the latest In the Darkness Falling and feel free to let me know what you think here on on my Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/jm.f.hildebrandt) or LiveJournal blog (http://jmfhildebrandt.livejournal.com/).

I meant to get this up this past weekend but it slipped my mind. I submitted Chapter Three of In the Darkness Falling tonight so it should be up sometime tomorrow. I may or may not get a new chapter of either Future Distorted or Anomaly of the Fates in the near-ish future. I think I have some of those two written down somewhere, I just have to find what I did with them and then transcribe the chicken-scratch. Since I have no idea where it is or how long typing it in will take, I make no promises or predictions on the ETA on those. So enjoy some more Alice/Alexa and abide in patience.

Real quick, I have just posted Chapter 2 of In the Darkness Falling so it should be up later today or early tomorrow. Enjoy!
