Updates (Again)

Hi, everyone

It’s been a funny few weeks – the good news is that they finally tracked down the cause of my sinus problems, the bad is that I’ll need to have an operation (hopefully soon) to deal with it.  There’s also been a handful of other issues – the scan they did to find out why I was having pains in my lower abdomen drew a blank … sigh.  On the other hand, it isn’t a lethal problem as far as they can tell.  I guess I’m just getting old.

On the plus side, I finished the first draft of Pandora’s Box and I’m currently letting it sit for a few days before I do a basic edit, then forward the draft to the publisher.

My current plan is to do another fantastic schools novella – The Sport’s Captain’s Tale – which will be more-or-less both a semi-sequel to The Muckraker’s Tale (out in Fantastic Schools 6 – hopefully in time for Xmas) and then move on to The Lone World

Nov-Dec – The Lone World (Ark Royal)

Dec-Jan – Conquistadors (the start of a new and experimental trilogy)

Jan-Feb – The Demon’s Design (Schooled in Magic 25)

In-between all of these, I have two more FS stories to write and possibly a pair of short stories.  The Land of Always Summer – The Stranded 2 – is still being plotted – I haven’t managed to resolve a major plot point, so I can’t go ahead with part 2 until I know how it goes.

As always, if there’s anything you want to see in particular, please let me know.
