Things I’m working on…

So what’s next now that Tuning the Symphony is out in the world?

Currently, I’m working on two more stories set in the same universe as Tuning the Symphony. I plan to release these later this year, bound in one volume.

The first one is about a group of merchants traveling between homeworlds.  I wanted to focus not on the powerful maji, but on the common inhabitants of the ten homeworlds and how they went about their business.  What roadblock are there when traveling between planets?  How do the maji look to them?

For the second one, I went back to the maji, because it’s so fun.  This one is about Origon, quite a bit older than in Tuning the Symphony.  He’s dealing with a new space-faring invention and how technology affects the maji’s position in the Great Assembly.  This story will lead directly into the full novel I hope to release sometime in 2017.

I’m also reworking an unrelated fantasy novel set in a land like the antebellum southern plantation culture of the US mixed with Babylonian themes.  This book has magic as well, but of a different sort, based on seasonal fruit.
