Still alive (though it may not seem like it)

Sorry for not posting to the blog in a while. I seem to be chronically disorganized, and updating the blog is unfortunately rather low on the priority list. But I’m still alive, and still writing.

Gunslinger to the Stars is coming along well, though it’s not been without its hiccups. I’m about halfway through right now, and while I’m probably not going to hit the original deadline, I should have no problem finishing the rough draft by the end of February.

I’m also happy to report that I’ve got the edits back for Captives in Obscurity (Sons of the Starfarers: Book V) and am working with the cover designer to get that part squared away soon. Once I have the cover, it’s a simple matter of writing up the metadata and formatting the ebook. So you can expect to see that go up for pre-order sometime in February.

Also in February, it looks like I’ll have a short story come out, possibly two! “The Gettysburg Paradox” is coming off of submission soon, and I recently wrote a J.M. Wight short titled “A Covenant of Hearts.” No idea where to submit that one, so I’ll probably just publish it myself. The J.M. Wight short needs a bit more work, but “The Gettysburg Paradox” is ready to go up almost right away. All I need to do is figure out a cover.

So even though things have been quiet, there’s a lot going on behind the scenes over here. Expect to see some more cool stuff really soon!
