Still in Ghana (and Xenolith is still free). Ghana is such a frustrating and fascinating place to work. Much better developed than many of the places I go in Africa.
Lots of cancelled appointments, altered plans, clusterf***s, etc. But I still managed to go from one end of the country to the other (from the coast to the northern border with Burkina Faso) and get at least some of what I wanted to accomplish done.
I also did quite a did of writing. I revised a few more chapters of Xenolith. Discovered and fixed many odd bits of clunky writing in my (officially) un-released novel: Lethe, and I also wrote more than 10,000 words of a new novel (a thriller) that just popped into my head. Working title: Xtraktiv. It's about an NGO worker targetted by a high-tech corporate assassin aiming to subsume the NGO guy's identity, who accidentally kills the assassin, whose employer then assumes that the NGO guy is the assassin. NGO guy (Archie Parsons) then hops around Africa trying to bollocks up the assasin's itinerary while the girl (Melissa) who watches his cat back home flies to Africa without his permission to help him out of his jam. I'll probably tuck this one away when I get back to focus on the others.
