That is not to say that there will never be revision, but as far as I'm concerned, the project is complete. There will be no major changes in the forseeable future. Guardian Covenant consists of two books: Promise and Proving Ground. The first is 220 pages and the second is closer to 300 pages.
I am relieved, disappointed, and proud for this landmark moment in my writing career: relieved because it has been a long and difficult labor, disappointed because I am not magically perfect at authoring novels as I had irrationally hoped, and proud because just like finishing my first marathon last month, I know I have accomplished something difficult and grown as a writer because of it.
If you are interested in reading these books, leave a comment on the blog. I have no immediate plans to seek publication, as I am still waiting for feedback from my first readers to know how to proceed.
In conclusion, a synopsis:
Angus Chase lives a reckless lifestyle, defending freedom and exacting justice without the bounds inflicted on legal institutions. But he is haunted by his thirst for vengeance and he struggles with questions of morality in an immoral world of criminals and spies. In the midst of his inner turmoil, a bright light enters his life in the form of his goddaughter, Mirielle. He becomes, from that moment on, her covenanted guardian. His growing love for her casts new light on his previous choices and challenges him to make new choices that defy his natural inclinations. When his work endangers her and her parents, he must choose to forsake either his family or his career, a decision which has never for anyone been more deadly.
Mirielle has her own choices to make as she grows up under the instruction of a lethal godfather whose skills are coveted, even in his business. She struggles with his long absences and the uncertainty of his safety and her own, while all around her, the everyday concerns of those she loves draw her into conflict on every level.
