Watching For The Dawn

..is back on track! Have done what is probably a final edit on the 65k words written so far (already edited down so that's a good figure) and last evening started on new writing to complete the book.

Impressions: it flows well from We Go Down Slowly Rising, and they blend they admirably as part of a series.

The locations are a bit more diverse in this sequel than the first book: beginning in Uplands, Swansea, the action moves to Whitchurch in Cardiff and then to the bulk of the narrative, which happens in Newport and Caerleon.

I took a photograph yesterday by the Usk - close to where the cover photo for We Go Down... was taken -  and have mocked-up a cover for this new novel. I'll post it here.

A lot of quotes in this book too: as before, some Mao. And much of Andre Gide.
