Progress on Kalika Rising
Dear Readers,
I am more than thrilled with the progress I've been making on the 2nd Soul Eclipse novel, "Kalika Rising." Though it comes in spurts, the story works off of the actual mythology of the goddess Kali. Both horrible and beautiful, she is a challenge to create. The reader will be faced with her most vicious side ... and her most damaged. In some ways, I liken her to the Lady MacBeth who washes her hands repeatedly, stating, "out damn spot," to remove the blood staining her conscience.
By contrast, Shiva has been developing into an unexpectedly sympathetic character who is repeatedly drawn into this never-ending war with Kalika by his utter belief in her completely amoral nature. A belief that she nightly reaffirms with her belligerance.
I've already completed nearly 60 pages and hope to have the 1st draft finished by the end of March, but I'll not lay odds on it.
