The Gigantic Drama of Political Intrigue in Jing

On the day I'm writing this post, I crossed the 63K line in word count. And A Cup of Conflict isn't anywhere near completed.

I knew this was going to be a complicated story. Even though she's acting as Issura's ambassador by escorting Quan Po home for his coronation, Anthea's caught in the middle of differing factions in the Jing Empire. Most of whom have no desire for Quan to continue breathing, much less ascend to the Dragon Throne.

But I'm also almost through what is essentially the Second Act, if this were a play. Which means this will be a 90-100K novel.

Therefore, I'm moving the release date for A Cup of Conflict to July 15, 2025.

I don't like the fact that I lost almost three weeks of writing time dealing with the Selket-damned basement, but that's essential the 30K words I'm missing. *sigh*

However, I did promise I'd get this series done before I die, and I'm damn well going to do it!
