The Last Book is Starting Soon
🕑 Added 2023-10-18 17:11:31 +0000 UTCI'm hard at work plotting the final book in the Devil In The Waters series, and it's going well. Going better than I expected. There were times when I was pretty sure I'd never figure a way out of this monstrous epic, but I knew I had to hold tight and keep the characters doing what it was these characters do, and in time an ending would present itself.
Right now I'm tits up with Covid again. I'm almost through it, but, wow, there were some lost days there. One day I slept 20 hours in a 24 hour period. It was actually kind of nice. I had meds.
I will be back soon with responses to all these great comments here, and to present the first chapter in the last book. I just wanted to keep you updated and make sure you know everything is falling into place. I suspect I'll have all my dominoes lined up, ready to bring you the next chapter by Tuesday.
Best,
KT

Oh, and Appointment in Samarra is an old friend... is that how Quinn's friend got... for me an ominous name, KT? I know not all musings are productive, but where would we be without them?

Compliment... not flattery... I assure you. Until I read "Cherry Blossoms" the words reminded of John Boorman's Arthurian knights galloping to their doom with Carl Orff's magisterial tune bangin' away in the background... that book alone entitles you to be given a tour around the infernal regions with Virgil or the literary eminence of your choice... now that last bit was flattery... maybe...
KT Morrison
Thank you kindly—and I love the Brian O'Nolan reference. Flattery will get you everything around these parts.

I, and I believe Flann (what a pen-name!), meant good at the top, Socratic end of the spectrum, not just okay... pleasant... to make a "nice" distinction... or do I mean "fine." Two more words we might readily apply to your work, KT.

I think DITW is a brilliant achievement up to now, and have no doubt that if you do it your way and at your own pace you will produce something that ranks with the best works within and without this fertile field... but more importantly your own. Like Flann O'Brien said if you want something good to read you write it yourself... and you've already proved you can...

Hope things are going good KT! Hope you’re getting rest from COVID and getting some writing done. Take care.

Sorry to hear you are enjoying another round of Covid! Rest!

'Sub Pricipatu Diaboli'.....Josh is doomed!
Andrew Mellein
I hope you’re alright! I love your stories and novels. I am on pins and needles wondering where in the world Josh went?🤣🤣
KT Morrison
This is my second time around. First time I also lost taste and smell, ha ha. I'm out of it now, and all is looking good. Thank you! This time was not so bad compared to the first.

"Sub Principatu Diaboli" (a bit cumbersome, so subject to change!)
Bill F Protagoras
Get better... if that were possible!
CSH
My sympathies. Take the time you need to recover.

Yeesh, KT, you need to tell Covid to stop liking you so much! Hope you get well soon! I miss having my favorite author post comments, not to mention chapters. Between this and the last book of SS, I'm on pins and needles! Whatever you come up with will be awesome, I'm sure, because that's what you do and why we love your writing.

Hey KT! Sorry to hear you’ve been so sick. I had Covid in March, after successfully avoiding it for 3 years. I took Paxlovid, the anti-viral med for it, and it prolonged it for me. I also lost my sense of smell for months. Totally bizarre experience! Anyway, rest up and take your time. I’m dying to find out what happens, but we need you well first! This book has been epic. I’m obsessed with it. 🙂
Andrew Mellein
Can’t wait! Wonder what the title of your last book in the series is going to be called?
Glaucon
Please rest as much as you are able. Your epic has been so unique that I can imagine any number of ways for you to end it, and I can't wait to read where you take it when you are ready. Wishing you a quick recovery and all the best, KT!
