Possible new novella this year

A novella on which I’ve been working for some 25 years may finally see the light in 2016. Or possibly early 2017.

It is a speculative fiction piece, Caliban, which, among other things, examines reality. All sounds very erudite, doesn’t it? But it’s not. I hope you will find it a good read, and perhaps, after you’ve had time to think about it, discover there are depths. But your experience may vary.

The official blurb? Thus:

Tine desires beauty and freedom from his home. When called to find a missing ambassador to a colony of artists, he risks everything for the pursuit of that desire, only to find illusion can be reality, and reality illusion. Sanity is subjective. And it is possible life, even beauty, can be found in unexpected places and forms.

Caliban is presently in editorial review. There is likely going to be a revision. If all goes well I can manage that rather quickly, given I have a bit of a window in the publishing house, and can, theoretically, devote my time to my own writing. We’ll see.

And of course I continue to poke away at The Rose Guardian, otherwise known as That Damned Novel. 

So, perhaps something new of mine published in the near future. Wish me luck, dear readers.

And to my fellow Canucks, Happy Canada Day!
