Not much progress sadly due to my concentration being off after a gig on Tuesday, the ringing finally went away Friday evening thankfully.
Managed to make some progress on book 3, but it's tricky when the only idea for the book I had was a massive climactic battle, so now I have to fit in as much storyline as I can around it to make the book not dominated by the battle, but ideas are coming along.
Only waiting on one last piece of feedback for the sample chapter, then I'll rewrite it and send it out again, see how it turns out this time, I can take the waiting if it means the rest of the book will read a lot better.

Update 15
Well I've made a start on book 3 of the series and progress is coming along slowly, got a large number of ideas for this book so I'm hoping it'll be full of interesting content. As I mentioned in Myspace I've had feedback from my sample chapter and can start to see where I'm going wrong, but I'm still waiting for some more to come back to me before I can make a final judgement.
The chapter progression is working well, reading other books has really helped me decide where to put chapter divisions in, got 13 chapters on book 1 so far, so I'll see how many I have by the end and see if I can add or lose some chapters to make for a more appealing number, don't really want to end up with hundreds of chapters.

Update 14
As you may have read on the Myspace blog I didn't get much chance to write a whole lot due to getting some really bad news. My writing has been jarred a bit and it's also the reason this update is a day late.
As for actual progress on these books I've been working on ideas for book 3 and for the next group of books in the series. I'm really determined to make this book series into my main work, putting my best ideas and the largest amount of work into the storylines. The ideas have come in quite well and I think I've got enough concept material for another three books to the series, there may be more later on, but for the near future I'm focusing more on the works at hand.
The feedback I've received on the sample chapter has been good so far with only a few small criticisms, but I'm still waiting for a bit more feedback to come back, hopefully there will be some criticism in it.
