So I thought I would post the Y post today for the A to Z challenge, but I didn’t get around to it so it looks like I’ll be doing Y and Z tomorrow. And yes, I know that “expectations” was a cop-out for X, but hey, at least I didn’t spell it “x-pectations.”<\/p>\n
As far as other stuff goes, I’m still at work on Sons of the Starfarers,<\/strong> though I’ve been doing a lot more publishing stuff than writing stuff recently, mostly proofing and formatting. Once the second batch of covers for Star Wanderers<\/strong> comes in, I’ll take an afternoon off to update the rest of that series.<\/p>\n It’s nice to have someone else doing the cover art for you, though it’s still very collaborative since you have to approve everything and give feedback for tweaks. Still, these cover designers are doing a much better job than I could on my own.<\/p>\n Speaking of Star Wanderers,<\/strong> I’ve been getting a lot of reviews lately from people saying that they’re disappointed the series is over and wishing that it could continue. Well, be careful what you ask for, because you just might get it! I already mentioned that I’ve been thinking about writing a full-length novel, but I’ve also got some ideas for additional parts with some of the other characters.<\/p>\n Right now, I’m working on Strangers in Flight (Sons of the Starfarers Book III),<\/strong> but I should be finished with that one in May, with an open schedule for a couple months. That should be time enough to write Star Wanderers: Wanderlust (Part IX).<\/strong> I sketched out a couple of scenes for this one last year, but I think I’m going to toss those and start with something new. In particular, I have a great idea for an opening scene with Samson and Heloise (yes, Samson is going to be the star of this one. The title “wanderlust” should have given that away, lol).<\/p>\n Beyond that, it would be interesting to write a story from Captain Elijah’s point of view, and another from Master Korha’s. I suppose it would even be interesting to write a story from Salome’s perspective, though that would be a tough one. If I’m going to expand the Star Wanderers<\/strong> series, I’m going to write at least another four books, so if you guys have suggestions for characters to bring back, let me know.<\/p>\n That’s just about it for now. There are other projects I plan to work on, but Sons of the Starfarers<\/strong> and Star Wanderers<\/strong> should take up most of my focus for the next few months. Hopefully that means I can get the books out to you faster! I’ll certainly do my best.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
