writing updates

OK, where were we? No idea. Did I mention I uploaded a new story during the workshop? It's now both on Kindle and Smashwords.

I'm editing the two short story collections I hope to issue soon – I still have to get the paper copy from my alpha-reader, our meeting having been postponed to tomorrow. I hope to have the two collections up this weekend, or next week at the latest. The Tales of the Southern Kingdoms are set before and after Books of the Immortals – Air, and some are already out there, but will be revised (and priced) after the collections come out. At the moment The Orphans and The Dancer are free, Tarun is not (but the revised version will not be labeled erotica).

I've started (re)writing the Chronicles of the Varian Empire for next year's releases and I'm having a blast. Silvery Earth has changed since that first Italian draft, and I have to figure out plot points and come up with new ideas and make this volume blend with the Books of the Immortals (it's set before Water) which is world-building fun. As soon as I start typing the English version, I'll draw SKYBAND 10 so I can have Omnibus 2 out in December (hopefully), in time for the Christmas rush.

Still trying to figure out how to apply some stuff learned at the workshops to my home country laws – sometimes I wish I could move away from the over-complicated place! :-( Hopefully I can soon talk to a friend who can help me with the doubts and questions I have regarding Italian law. And then I'm all ready to rumble! :-D

It's a brand new world of publishing and I'm very happy to be prolific. I only wish I weren't so ahead of the curve, so that my family and Italian friends wouldn't stare at me as if I was crazy. Sigh. Time will tell who's crazy, I guess! ;-)
