Another exciting development is the decision we made together (about 2 weeks ago) to combine the trilogy into one book, but each of us write separate versions of the book from the viewpoints of James and Vincent. I will be writing Vincent's story and Lee will be writing James' story. For the sake of continuity (and the ability to swap books and still understand the main storyline) we have come up with key events/milestones that each character will come to where they interact with each other. These scenes will bring to light more details concerning the personality of each of the characters at these various moments, and in between the scenes, by having two stories running simultaneously, we can explore our entire world that we have engineered.

So basically, the book, when it releases, will consist of 1) Vincent's Story 2) James' Story and 3) an illustrated encyclopedia/index for quick reference to the history of the world as well as a visual reference to the locations and characters as we have imagined them.

We are very excited, and we are gearing up to actually sit down and write the book. So far, we have written small scenes to establish the settings and been trying to plan the major events and plot points (as well as character development as we mentioned earlier). Since we are nearing the end of our (very long) preproduction phase of writing, we will soon begin translating our vision into the concrete form of a science fiction novel.
