lagilmanExcerpt from author's logbook:
Had emotional tagline for book 4 delivered to me -- in shower, of course. note to self: need larger hot water tank.
In middle of writing very delicate scene, realized I needed to insert important line of information into text early, so the big reveal can actually happen. Thankfully, smarter lizard-brain had already established a conversaiton where said info would fit well, and logically. Good lizard-brain, have a mosquito.
Blood spilled, check. Arguments raging, check. Internal emotional arc is now effective throughout entire five book series. CharTort is in a go, I repeat, CharTort is a go. Also, Wren is much worse at relationships than she or anyone else knew. Sergei's not so hot on them, either. When a demon is dr phil, you're screwed.
Note to self: when your characters reassure you that they've got it all worked out, you can believe them. You can't trust them, but you can believe them.
Also, they need more yogurt.

And because I love your books and want more hints, but that goes without saying ;-)
