Happy New Year!

I had a cold before Thanksgiving week that later developed into a mild case of pneumonia, so I didn’t feel much like writing and after NaNo, I guess my creative synapses were a little burned out or diseased or whatever.  So no productivity to speak of.

I done some re-writing on the Brull novel and am halfway through my second rewrite.  I’ve developed two other projects, a non-fiction book that I’ll publish under another name and a new quartet of novels based on a single world where magic exists.  Four epic fantasy novels.  Initially, I’m calling the books the War Stone Novels.  I’ve done treatments on three of the four, based on older short stories I wanted to do something with.  The first three stories trace three different main characters.  They are wizards, but with varying backgrounds and live in different countries.  In the final novel, all three will unite in various ways to fight against the Dark Empire whose emperor wields the Dark Stone.  There will be some history and prophecy interwoven to bind the four books, but you’re basically looking at three standalone novels and one to bind them all. (LotR reference).

My goal is to have these books out by the end of the year plus one more.  That doesn’t include publishing the Brull novel.  So, hopefully six books out in 2013 plus a non-fiction.  I guess I’d better get those fingers caressing the keyboard.
