I wanted to post a quick update about the status of the book. So, here goes nothing:
* The working title as of this point is Blood From A Locket. The book is completed and undergoing some edits. From there I will make some changes, have it undergo some more edits and then I should be able to start shopping it around.
* Book 2, tentatively titled Bloodletting at this point, is three quarters done. I personally love the direction that book 2 takes the series after setting the ground rules in book 1.
