After completing the revised draft of Chapter Four last week I began to tackle the fifth chapter of the new edition of my book - The New Chief of Security.
This chapter originally saw the end of the tour training and the introduction of the House Revue where staff perform to raise money for their Christmas party.It also saw the emergence of Terrence Knight, our villain, as he rises to the role of Acting Chief of Security, practically overnight.
There were a few significant changes required for the revised edition, namely the House Revue. We were no longer in a "House" we were now in a Palace so our new revue became the Palace Revue and to be performed in the Palace Theatre. As Max was now new to the venue, we had to find a way to get him suggested to Direct the revue as well. So we beefed up a few characters and they bridged the gap.
Other than that it remained fairly unchanged including the introduction of another main character Tom from the Building Maintenance department who instead of singing decides to do the Full Monty. Also Max still has his very first one on one encounter with Terrence Knight.
I am delighted to inform you all that I managed to knock this over in a week thanks to some temporary commuting on city rail and I am just correcting the spelling and shifting it on the editors.
It's a very satisfying achievement to adapt this story to its new surrounds and finding the ways to make it all still connect.
We have picked up a little speed and hopefully we can get the book out before Xmas.
As it stands we are currently looking at January 15 2014
Stay tuned...
