Greetings, humans! I am alive. I’m actually doing quite well right now. Lots of stuff going on behind the scenes, and it all seems to be coming together quite nicely.<\/p>\n

First, Victors in Liberty<\/strong><\/a> is now up for preorder, with a release date of July 22nd. This means that the Sons of the Starfarers series is now officially complete! The books have all been written, the plot threads have all been wrapped up (except for one or two, in case I ever decide to write another story), the edits are in, and the final versions have all been uploaded. Four and a half years went into this, and now it’s DONE!<\/p>\n

I wrote a lengthy author’s note where I talked about the ups and downs I went through while writing this series. Basically, Sons of the Starfarers was the series that really disciplined me, turning me from a write-when-you-can, publish-when-you-feel-like-it kind of writer to one who makes and keeps deadlines and holds to a consistent release schedule.<\/p>\n

Midway through writing this series, I really didn’t know if it was worth it to continue, but I decided to keep with it because I’d made a promise to my readers and I was going to keep it, even if there were only a few dozen of you. As it turns out, there’s quite a few more, for which I am very grateful. If you’ve been waiting since 2014 to read this series, I’m happy to report that your wait will soon be over.<\/p>\n

As for my next WIP, I’m about a third of the way through Gunslinger to the Galaxy<\/strong> with a deadline of June 30th. It’s going to be tough to keep that deadline, because I’m moving before the end of the month and don’t yet know where my next place is going to be. Nothing too serious, it’s just that my contract is coming up so it’s time to move on. I’m toying with the idea of buying a National Parks pass and living out of a tent for the next two months, but in all reality I’ll probably just get a summer contract here in the Provo\/Orem area. After that, who knows?<\/p>\n

My plans are to write Gunslinger to the Galaxy<\/strong> and Gunslinger to Earth<\/strong> over the summer, and publish them both before the end of the year. A couple of years ago, this would have been a tall order, but I’ve reworked my writing process since then to the point where I don’t need multiple drafts to write clean copy. That’s partly the reason why I haven’t been blogging much recently. I’ll do a post on it sometime, if you guys are interested.<\/p>\n

Once the Gunslingers trilogy is complete, I plan to finish Edenfall<\/strong> and The Stars of Redemption<\/strong> next. That’s another promise I need to keep to my readers. I don’t feel quite so bad, since Genesis Earth<\/strong> works well as a standalone, but I do need to finish the trilogy and I plan to do that before the end of next year.<\/p>\n

On the publishing front, I’m doing a whole bunch of things behind the scenes, but the most visible thing you’ll probably see next is paperback releases for most of my books. It’s been a long time coming, and it will probably be a few months before it happens, but I plan to get those out before the end of the summer.<\/p>\n

That’s pretty much it for now. Thanks for reading, and here’s where you can get Victors of Liberty:<\/strong><\/p>\n
