Aegidius Draft IV

I'll slowly be putting up rough draft chapters at http://scion-of-lykaios.blogspot.com/. While I'll be writing every day, I'll only be posting as chapters are finished.

Capitulum Primum: Wherein we meet the Wolf of Wolves

Capitulum Secundum: Wherein we learn something of Wolves

Capitulum Tertium: Wherein a plan is made

Capitulum Quintum

I haven't the faintest idea what a subtitle for this new chapter could be, but it's an important turning-point; for one thing, we get a glimpse, albeit very brief, of how dangerous Aegidius is. Now we just need (1) to get the narrator on the scene and start solving the mystery of the death of Joanne, and (2) to push ahead with the Siberian problem.

This brings us to about 9500 words, so still limping along. November is just not the month for me to do something like this! Despite a relaxation of my usual schedule things keep coming up, and starting this next week the amount I have to grade will start picking up. Whoever decided that November would be a good month for a national novel writing month never taught at the college level.
