So after finishing the rough draft of\u00a0Gunslinger to the Stars<\/strong> a couple of weeks ago, I took an unofficial\u00a0summer break to work on other things. But I’m back now, ready to pick up a new WIP. There are quite a few to choose from. Here are the ones I’m leaning towards:<\/p>\n

The Sword Keeper<\/strong> \u2014 This one has been in progress for quite some time. When I left it off, it was about 3\/4ths of the way finished, with a whole bunch of action scenes right up to the very end. I could probably\u00a0finish it in a couple of weeks.<\/p>\n

Edenfall<\/strong> \u2014 This is the sequel to\u00a0Genesis Earth,<\/strong> and it’s been on the back burner for\u00a0years.<\/em> There seems to be a lot of growing interest in the first book, though, which makes me wonder if it’s time to finish the trilogy. If this is the book that my readers really want, then that’s the book to write.<\/p>\n

Sons of the Starfarers<\/strong> \u2014 This series hasn’t really taken off the way I’d hoped it would, which is why I’ve more or less tabled it for now. There are four more books left, and if I’m going to write the next book\u00a0(Patriots in Retreat),<\/strong> I’m going to finish all the other books as well. This could take a while, though, and I’m not sure now is a good time to pick up that project. If there’s enough demand, though, I’ll see what I can do.<\/p>\n

Children of the Starry Sea<\/strong> \u2014 This sequel to the\u00a0Star Wanderers<\/strong> series ties in a bunch of stuff from\u00a0Sons of the Starfarers<\/strong> that I haven’t written yet,\u00a0so now is probably not the time to write it.<\/p>\n

A Beachhead in Time<\/strong> \u0014\u2014 This is the first book in a trilogy that I’m cowriting with my friend Scott Bascom. We’ve already started it, so technically it’s already a WIP. Not sure whether to make it my primary project at the current time, though, or to juggle it with a personal\u00a0WIP.<\/p>\n

So those are the options. Personally, I’m leaning a bit toward\u00a0Edenfall<\/strong> at the moment, but\u00a0when I’m between projects I tend to vacillate a lot until something really sticks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
