I can not wait :)
Why you should pre-order Iron Gold, and why I've been silent as a church mouse (working at this desk you see here).
Writing is wandering. At least it is for me. A bit like fumbling about lost in a dark cave. You smell the earth, feel the cold, but aren't sure where to go. You reach for walls to find a compass. You feel the granite under your fingers, and you follow the cave's chill skin till you see light. Step by step the world beyond begins to materialize and you emerge from the dark and look back and see the cave's mouth and realize you were never lost to begin with. You were just wandering till you could see where you were going.
Iron Gold has been like that for me. There were so many places it could go that at times I felt like I was struggling with which direction to take it. Now, after the greatest bulk of the writing is done, I could not be happier in how the book is going. Hint, it is BIG.
I know I've been absent, and much of that is because I wanted to lock myself in before I knew how I wanted to communicate my experience with and my confidence in the book. It's a humdinger, boyos, and I think you're going to like this twisty, raucous dive into Darrow's world through the new fresh perspectives.
As always, s**t escalates.
If you haven't already, you can pre-order Iron Gold now. It helps drive up first week numbers and gives Random House the confidence to PUSH the book. Pre-orders can be HUGE for authors (do this for other authors you love as well, if so inclined). So, loyal howler legion, if you want to help these books catch like a wildfire slingBlade on an Institute hill, order yourself some sexy literary love at the below link.
