CLOAK OF SHARDS now underway!

Despite all my blog posts about audiobooks over the last week, I have been actually been writing something new!

I am now 43,000 words into CLOAK OF SHARDS, which puts me on Chapter 9 of 23. If all goes well, I am hoping the book will be out by Easter, or possibly a little after Easter.

“Glowing symbols on the wall will have that effect,” said Arnette. “Chief Quell is waiting for you with Mr. Smith.”

“Thanks, guys,” I said. “At least there are no cyborg clones turning up today.”

“Yet,” said Arnett with the resigned fatalism of the veteran law enforcement officer.
