News: Coming Soon and Writing

  • There's only a few more days left to preorder The Oracle's Hatchling.  It comes out next week! 

  • My next book to come out is Wings of the Stars, part of the Loose Screw anthology LT3 put together for their existing authors.  I'm working on the copy edits right now, which is the last step in LT3's editing process.  I expect it will be available for preorder in the next few weeks!  Be sure to also check out all the other stories in the collection. 

  • I'm still plugging away at all my stories.  I'm trying to work out a timing issue in Kelpie Blue, so that story has stalled for the moment.  Is it okay to jump an entire year in one chapter?  I may have to add another chapter between what is currently planned for chapters two and three to make the time skip less jarring.  I'm thinking of titling it, When Water Freezes and Kelpies Mope, but since I don't really have more plot than that title implies I can't say for certain how the story will work just yet. 

    I've also been working on If A Butterfly Don't Fly.  It's a story with lots of bands and music, so I've been trying to figure out the lyrics for two songs.  In My Truest Love, my last musically inclined story, I got away with snippets of lyrics from a chorus, an abbreviated song, or just a song title.  If A Butterfly requires a full length song, which is darned hard to write! 

    Magnified is currently being stubborn.  I think the muse in charge got offended that he was so rudely shoved aside by his brothers to make way for Out of Underhill.  I'm not sure who the evil villain is just yet or what his/her motivations are, which makes it difficult to set up the foreshadowing I need.  The romance portion of the book is starting to take shape, which is a plus, but it isn't quite enough to force the story to move forward. 

    Instead of working on The Oracle's Golem, I started writing book four.  Book four doesn't have a title or more plot than just the prologue.  It's also contingent on the ending of Golem, which I haven't written yet.  Why it decided that now was a good time to pull my attention was beyond me.  I'll get Golem finished soon, I hope.  I know exactly how the book is supposed to go, so it's really a matter of finding the motivation to sit down and write it.
