Nor Things to Come: A Novel of the West
I should have mentioned this weeks ago, but several
important distractions prevented me from doing so. After 40 months (give or
take a few days) of dedicated work, I finished the final chapter of Nor Things to Come: A Novel of the West
on July 16, 2013. I completed the epilogue three days later. Two friends, and my
wife, are currently proofreading the 783-page manuscript. I expect they will
require several months to finish the job. Final tally: prologue, 63 chapters,
epilogue, 3 parts, 265,833 words, seven primary characters, dozens of secondary
characters, a fictional book-within-a-book, history, comedy, tragedy, romance,
murder, betrayal, redemption, horses, two cats, and a mongrel of a dog. I
plan to send the revised manuscript to the publisher by late November.
