As I write this (on Sunday), I'm doing the read through of what I have and making notes for things that need to be fixed. I should finish that today and then I'll get to work fixing those things.
I'll be honest, I don't remember what I wrote in last week's post about the book--I'm far too focused on the book itself to keep anything else in my mind--so forgive me if I repeat myself.
Griff is a sweetheart, but he makes his life harder than it needs to be. If you read Wicked Intention, you know that Finn just went and helped Zo without asking for permission. Griff insisted he couldn't do it this way. And of course, he wasn't getting permission, so he had to find an alternate means of engaging.
His heroine, Cat, is every bit as stubborn as Griff is. It was fun to see how evenly matched they were in a lot of ways. She's got a little problem with being too impulsive. (Griff considers it a big problem.) This is probably their biggest difference.
Kyle Winter, the newest fourth musketeer, gets some screen time in this book. His story will be the next one up. He surprised me. He was quiet through Wicked Intention, with only an occasional smirk, so imagine my surprise to discover that not only is he a smart ass, but he enjoys stirring things up just for the fun of it. I'm a little worried about writing his book now. ;-)
And a character who made an appearance in Finn's book (and wasn't given a name because he was never supposed to become even a secondary character) showed up in Wicked Salvation. I tried to not give him a name again, but that got awkward as I wrote, so he got a nickname. By the end of Griff's story, I knew this character was going to have a story, too. He wasn't in my plans for the next set of Paladin League books. Now he is. I'll just have to figure out a way to work full time and write faster.
