The State of Play

I'm not usually one of those people who writes down the things she has achieved during the year. Mostly because that takes a level of organisation that I just don't have. Also, I can't find a pen. Ever. 
But here's how things stand for me at the end of 2013: 
Books Published: 2 (All with J.A. Rock) 
The Good Boy , and The Boy Who BelongedAlso The Naughty Boy , but that was a short. 
So let's call it two and a half. And while we're at it, thanks to everyone who made this happen for The Boy Who Belonged




Freebies: 2
Here are two very different animals: Falling Away and The Last Rebellion . (Psst: follow the links to download them!) 
Books Written: 
Mark Cooper versus America (with J.A. Rock) - out on January 28 from Loose Id.  King of Dublin (with Heidi Belleau) - out in February 24 from Riptide.  When All The World Sleeps (with J.A. Rock) - out on March 24 from Riptide.  Sweetwater - part one written and part two still percolating - looking at a September release from Riptide. 

Bliss (with Heidi Belleau) The Two Gentlemen of Altona (with J.A. Rock) 
Currently Writing: 
Merchant of Death (with J.A. Rock)  Sweetwater , part two.  Dark Space 2 , a sequel. And two untitled sci-fi projects that are similar in theme, but very different in tone. 
And let's not forget The List, which is a Google Doc where J.A. Rock and I put all our ideas...even the crazy ones with tentacles. The List has two parts. The first, called LIST O' PROJECTS TO COMPLETED, has ten items on it. The second part, called LIST O'POSSIBLE PROJECTS TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THE REAL LIST O'PROJECTS, has one single item on it only. But it's a doozy. 
So, I'm thinking 2014 will not be the year I run out of ideas... 
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to print this post out and give it to my mum to explain how I never get any housework done.

Woot! I've only got a chapter done so far and have to put it aside for a bit while I work at the stuff under contract, but I can't wait to get back to it. You'll be pleased to know that Brady still thinks everyone in the world (except Cam) is an asshole.

As long as you don't do both at the same time. You will be cold and uncomfortable when you come to.

And thank you! <3

Hi Jane!
One of our MCs is a conman who loves Shakespeare. So of course we had to come up with Shakespeare-inspired titles. :)
