…working on Bootlesquith Manor, actually. And it’s now so desperately close to finished that I’m going to keep this short. So here’s a quick summary of what’s been going on and what you can expect to hear from me soon:
Writing.
Nothing really new, although I have had a couple of reviews over at Indie Retro News recently (Splat! and Penetrator, for those who may be interested).
Editing.
Bootlesquith Manor has been undergoing various levels of re-writing and editing for at least six months, but a real concerted effort (and actually finding a creative groove that works for me) over the last month have got it pretty close to finished; I am saying with some confidence that it will be released this month – watch this space!
Planning.
The ongoing Ambivalence Chronicles, are still in mind, of course, but it is also fast approaching November. Current thinking is that I’ll be writing a children’s book for NaNoWriMo – partly for and inspired by my then-to-be-ten-year-old daughter. Should be interesting anyway…
Coming soon…
First, Bootlesquith Manor – or the story which will continue to go by that alias until I’m sure it’s ready for release into the wild. The plan is to follow it pretty quickly (before or during NaNoWriMo) with Bit#1 of The Ambivalence Chronicles. And I’ll be announcing a freebie soon for signing up to my mailing list, so go ahead and hit the button now if you want to be somewhere near the front of the queue for that.
And you may have noticed that in order to fit all this in, I’ve slowed down to blogging once a week (plus once a month or so at Indie Retro News and Christian Geek Central). I decided it was best to find a routine I can actually keep up with, so I can keep some fresh content coming out here without taking up too much of my book-producing time.
So, until next week…
