At long last, after more than a year, the rough draft of Children of the Starry Sea is now complete! It clocked in at just over 149k words, which makes it the longest book I have written since I started publishing (the first novel I ever finished was a 168k word train wreck that will… Continue reading IT IS DONE

Another one done!
It’s done! Draft 2.0 of The Sword Keeper is finished. Still need to run it by some test readers, but it’s looking very good for a release this year. In other news, the power cable for my laptop decided to die. I’ll replace it eventually, but in the meantime, I’m going to try turning my phone… Continue reading Another one done!
Not a bad start
So January’s almost over, and I have to say it’s not a bad start to the year. Things are going quite well, both on the writing and publishing end, and on the personal end as well. First off, I finished draft 3.0 of Gunslinger to the Stars last week. The final draft came in at just under… Continue reading Not a bad start
Gunslinger to the Stars Progress Update
The 2.0 draft of Gunslinger to the Stars is now complete—and right on deadline, too! This draft ended at about 62k words, 13% less than the first draft. Leaner, tighter writing, with a lot less exposition and a lot more character voice. Before I publish it, I do want to get some more feedback and do… Continue reading Gunslinger to the Stars Progress Update
The Sword Keeper 1.0 is finished!

It’s done!
Yesterday I finally finished the second draft of Friends in Command (Sons of the Starfarers: Book IV)! I know I’d said I was working on other projects, but those were intermittent—this was the main one I was focusing on. I still need to run it by my first readers, but I’m pretty sure this is… Continue reading It’s done!
Back to novels again
So yesterday I finished the rough draft of Sons of the Starfarers: Brothers in Exile. It needs work, but at least I’ve got something to work with. Of course, before I can do that, I need to take a break and work on something else. For my next project, I’m going to do a massive… Continue reading Back to novels again
It’s finished! Now onto the next thing.
Well, over the weekend, I finished the first draft of Star Wanderers: Reproach (Part VII). Technically, I finished it at 4:30 am on Saturday, but I’m counting that for the Friday May 31st deadline that I set when I started the project. I was determined to finish the thing before I went to bed, and… Continue reading It’s finished! Now onto the next thing.
Summer recap and new goals
So back in June I made a to do list of things I wanted to accomplish this summer. I’ve only got a week left before I go overseas again, and I’m happy to say I’m on track to finish most of them. A couple of them (such as doing a blog tour and submitting aggressively… Continue reading Summer recap and new goals
