Shutterclique Book 2
INFERNA, Book 2 of my Shutterclique superheroic urban fantasy series, is about to release, and I'll admit that I'm happy to be back in that world.
There's an optimism in that series that I spiritually need in the face of the cultural catastrophe we're facing in this country.
I have four more novels to write in the main Shutterclique series, as well as numerous spinoffs. I'll likely take refuge in those novels as the world burns around us, in addition to doing what I can for democracy.
Having already mentioned my goal of writing four novels a year for the next several years, I'm confident that I can do that. The ghost story I've talked about before isn't forgotten amid the Shutterclique hullabaloo; that one is nearly done (first draft) and will marinate awhile before I revise it. It's my process -- bang out the first draft, let the book marinate, then revisit and revise/rewrite as necessary.
It's just funny to me that I have a grim ghost story in my head as well as the more lighthearted superhero stories -- different sides of me, I guess. The old line about every cynic being a wounded idealist -- I feel that a lot. I wear cynical armor to protect my gentle spirit.
The lure of the Shutterclique for me is that it's so exuberantly high-spirited, with a potent sense of justice, I find it helps lift me up even in the face of the nightmare world we're seeing. It's a bit of my armor.
In addition to INFERNA, I have a cyberpunk book coming out later this year, as well as a willfully utopian SF novel, and then the ghost story in the Fall. Rollercoaster time.
