Blind Jump Draft

I have a finished draft of Blind Jump. It came to  about 59,000 words total, which not at all a surprising number and fairly much in line with the  three previous Jack Mack novels:

Among the Many Worlds 53,800 words

Jumping Jack 70,000 words

Dim Distant Stars 56,100 words

It is, of course, likely my count will change with revisions, especially during the first run through. My books typically grow at that stage as I sing things that need a tad more explanation or description; I do tend to emphasize dialog in my initial drafting.

But the story is set. No revisions to the plot will be necessary, no plot holes need filled. I do catch those things as I go and its only the language that needs a little polishing. Expect a release date to be announced soon.
