Rest of the Year

Not sure if anyone's reading this blog, but as I'm in my second year without a full-time job (e.g., just freelancing and slowly liquidating my retirement to keep above water), I'm looking to write the next four novels of THE SHUTTERCLIQUE over the next six months.

I have already written the first three in that series, as you've read before if you've been nosing through this blog. I'm going to push that primary series to completion to try to lift my spirits.

My hope is that readers will dig THE SHUTTERCLIQUE and when they see a completed series, they may be willing to delve into it. Or not. Who knows?

There will also be three spinoffs of the primary series, which will feature some of the supporting characters from THE SHUTTERCLIQUE that they may want to see have their own adventures.

In terms of worldbuilding, this entire series is the most ambitious of anything I've written, and that's exciting. It's the kind of thing that I think would play very well on a TV series (I'd say a movie, but know how movies are in a far more fraught state these days).

Anyway, if you want to get in on the ground floor of THE SHUTTERCLIQUE, I'd direct you to BRIGHTEYES, the first in the series and which sets the tone for it:

BRIGHTEYES

Like everything I write, it's terminally under-reviewed and underappreciated, but the ambition and fun of this world cannot be denied! Ignored, sure, but denied? Never!

If you read it and like it, do please rate and review. The more the merrier, where that's concerned. Join the 'Clique!

I'm gearing up to begin working on Book Four of the series. And when that one's done, I'll soldier through Books Five, Six, and Seven to wrap up the primary series. With the spinoffs, I'll likely bounce between those three in 2025.
