Updates, Chuffing, and "Goofy" Dogs

[image error]I just sent in my final line edits for my upcoming SF novel, ROAD TO HELL. Whew! A common question I'm asked is if I re-read my old stuff after it's been published. The answer is a resounding no. After reading it 2-3 times to get the major content edits done, plus 2-3 more times to get line edits and nitpicks done, and then a final galley proofread, I generally never want to see the story again.

I can give out some more details about an exciting new project I've signed on to write. A small publisher has signed me on to write a reference guide. The working title is – WHAT KINGS ATE AND WIZARDS DRANK: A Fantasy Writer's Guide to Food and Beverages. My completion date for the manuscript is August 2012, so I'm really excited to jump back into research and historical writing in the new year.

I'm still on target for finishing SPIRITS RISING for a Christmas release. I also still should be able to finish TRANQUILITY'S GRIEF's manuscript for a December submission.

School is back next week, so the regular schedule of life resumes. I'll be back posting 1-2 times a week. In the meantime, stay safe and keep on writing! (and reading! and knitting! and exercising!)
