Progress Report
I’ve been quite busy the past few weeks, as the lack of blog posts would indicate. I’ve been going over the Fishpunk manuscript with the feedback from first readers. I’m about 3/4 through the first and slowest draft. After that one, it will be read and see if the manuscript… Continue reading

A Little Retooling of Goals
When a person makes a goal at the beginning of the year, sometimes things change along the way, and those objectives might change, as well. While working on A Darkling Nine, I came to a point in the story where I didn’t really know how things should resolve. That means… Continue reading

A Good Day at the Office (and rambling thoughts)
I had a 3000+ word writing day for the first time in a long time. No other real commitments today other than grading a handful of math papers and a quick run to Costco. It feels good to be that productive on the novel, which passed the 20K word mark… Continue reading

Rigel Kentaurus is Done. Next…Fishpunk!
I spent a good portion of the day cleaning up the details for Rigel Kentaurus. I had 8 sales in the first 24 hours, which is considerably better than Neanderthal Swan Song did. Last night, I realized that I forgot to include the cover illustration credits in, so I uploaded… Continue reading
