Those are some big releases, so you can expect to hear a lot in the coming months about them\u2014especially\u00a0<strong>Heart of the Nebula,<\/strong> which I&#8217;ve been working on for the past four years. Lots of exciting stuff!<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, I had two smaller releases in the past couple of weeks, and I think you guys are really going to enjoy them!<\/p>\n<p>The first is the re-release of\u00a0<strong>&#8220;A Hill on Which to Die,&#8221;<\/strong> an epic fantasy novelette about a band of free orcs trekking\u00a0into the wilderness to start a new clan. This is my first real foray into fantasy, but I really enjoyed it and am thinking seriously about writing more books in this universe. If that sounds like something you&#8217;d like to see, then give this story a try and let me know what you think by posting a review or shooting me an email.<\/p>\n<p>The second is a short story in the\u00a0<strong>Star Wanderers<\/strong>\u00a0universe. Longtime readers may recognize it as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/?p=9516\">a story I wrote last year<\/a> as part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/?p=8989\">Short Blitz challenge<\/a>.\u00a0<strong>&#8220;Starchild&#8221;<\/strong> is a quick read that takes place in a far-off corner of the universe, and shows what life is like on a tiny isolated space colony in the Far Outworlds.<\/p>\n<p>This is only the tip of the iceberg as far as stories go. My goal is to have a new release at least every two months, with short stories in between the major novel releases. I&#8217;ve been averaging about one short story every month as far as writing goes, and it looks like quite a few of them are going to come off of the submission pipeline (either by getting picked up\u00a0or by exhausting the pro\/semi-pro markets) in the next year or so. This is all in addition to my novel writing, which hasn&#8217;t slowed down in any way from writing short stories.<\/p>\n<p>So you can definitely expect to see more stories from me in the coming months!
